The Forum seems to count unusually, and you are more likely to be correctā¦so again
āmagnets have been reported to last on average five years implanted into finger extremities before body heat reduces the effectiveness of the implantā
Anyone interested in fixing the magnet implant wikipedia page? Iām pretty sure this is a mistake, the article they linked describes something that sounds more like a coating failure.
Or is this real? Will my titan die in 5 years from body heat?!
Man Iām in love with vacuum tube tech. Thereās just something special about it. One of my long time projects thatās shelved is to make an x-ray machine (that I wouldnāt use for any body parts I should point out) since you can order the x-ray tubes on eBay without any real hassle (last I checked)
But itās one of those projects where Iām not sure if Iāll ever get around to it
Hmmmm Iām not sure myself but it doesnāt sound right. They will weaken over time at elevated temp, but at body temp over 5 years (which is pretty short all things considered)? Idk about that. Generally the curie point for most magnetic materials is >100Ā°C (thatās a huge generalization and there are probably exceptions Iām sure but just for broad statements sake Iāll say itās fine in this context).
This is a cover for the fact that silicone magnets fail over time due to corrosion. Temperatures in the extremities are even lower than say, the mouth, where dental magnetic denture implants last a lifetime.

I probably wouldnāt get that since too much risk. I was more thinking the ones from the 50ās 60ās 70ās. But my God thatās an awesome piece
The Curie Temperature for neodymium magnets (the point at which a magnet loses its magnetic properties) is around 310ā400 degrees celcius/590ā752 farenheit per the wikipedia. Methinks if your body ever gets that hot, you have other more important problems to worry about

Sortaā¦ curie point is odd for magnets because it is a calculated value based on shape and mass of the magnetā¦ smaller mags tend to have lower CPsā¦ but yeah itās still way way above what even a feverish body temp could ever get to.
Magnets do also lose strength due to heat well before their CP though too. They do recover once the temperature comes down with only a very small amount of loss (<1% typically) but even still the temperature required to even notice this temporary loss of strength is still quite highā¦ well above core body temp.
Oh boy. It also bit you. I ordered 2 NExTās a while back and an xG3 and before theyāre even installed I ordered 2 xsiidās God my wallet hates me.

Have fun with your xSIIDs. I donāt do much LF stuff, so my xSIID is by far my favorite implant. Blinkies

LF is useful when you need it. But to put it in the simplest way possible
Man see blinky light. Man want blinky light. Man get blinky light (also God if I can load my credit card onto it that would be amazing)
Super excited to put them in. Thinking putting one in each forearm or something like that. I though fingers but it wouldnāt be conducive to my lifestyle (unless itās maybe on the dorsal side of the proximal phalanges)
I just havenāt had many opportunities to use LF. Nothing in my life uses it (work badges or anything), and for my own projects, I like working with HF. Compared to HF boards like PN532 breakouts, LF arduino stuff feels cludgy. Iāve got an xACv2, but havenāt had a good use for it yet.
Yeah, glassies in fingers are never usually a great idea. Some have managed the xG3, but I wouldnāt risk it.
Could always do knife-edge as well, thatās a good location for presenting to readers. Not sure how well blinkies would show though, the skin is thicker.
Hmmmm yeah it is much more cludgey. But I also am so bad at programming. If Iām doing a small basic project I would rater hardcode the logic with transistors than to try coding it, lol, so LF suits me in some aspects. Other spot that I was thinking of (and leaning twoards) is right below elbow since thereās a good amount of protection and the skin is quite thin. But will I ever see it if I put it there? 
Perhaps knife edge could work and just put it towards the dorsal side where the skin is thinner. Hmmmm
I give up editing Wikipedia I edited the rfid implant page to remove the mentions of āno data storageā and āno securityā this type of shit and ended up in a edit war apparently manufacture data sheets are ānot reliable or approved sourcesā

Once I fixed a typo. Then 2 days later it said something to the effect of it was a facetious edit so they removed it. Then another article that was discussing the local flora in my region and I uploaded some really nice descriptive photos I took. Deleted as well. sigh guess Iāll stick to just reading it
I still donate $5 per year, because it is a great one-stop shop resource
