[Pilgrimsmaster]

Glad to have you back, even if it is just a fleeting visit.

@Backpackingvet

trying to figure the flipper out of my own a bit interesting.

I take that back, I don’t need another person reminding me they ready have their Flipper and have been playing with it, and mine hasn’t even been sent yet

@Backpackingvet

I gotta also attend to my puppy who is in heat.

That sounds so wrong…

[Eriequiet]

Just quick question for hid prox gurus

I noticed that the individual code is printed in our badges, and so far all the other ones I’ve looked at (same security level) have the same facility code

Is facility code actually used for anything, or most likely the same for all users?

I’m guessing it depends on how they implemented it, but just curious if there’s common practices

[Zwack]

Facility code is usually specific to your facility (although worldwide I am sure there are overlaps). The idea being that everyone in one facility has the same facility code, so if their user id matches one in a different facility they still can’t get in.

[Eriequiet]

@Zwack

although worldwide I am sure there are overlaps

I mean… I would expect it

It’s a 2 digit FC and a 4 digit ID

I was just curious if anyone if the same company would have a different FC, because if not I can just visually read the 4 digit ID off the card on the back lol

[TheCyborgFirefighter]

@Eriequiet

I was just curious if anyone if the same company would have a different FC

Most likely would be the same, unless the company has no clue what they are doing (My company for instance). In my company, HR adds badge access, and us in IT just have access “just in case”. Well, HR ran out of badges and just blindly ordered more badges from our security company. They sent us ones with different Facility Codes. So now we have to select “Old Badge Format” and “New Badge Format” when typing in card numbers and giving access. Luckily, I’m now in charge of ordering the badges and ordered the correct ones for the last purchase we did a few months ago.

[Eriequiet]

Gotcha,

I just wondered how FC was used

They seem to partially know how to fine tune the system… as it knows who’s badges are for what shift and won’t let you in more then an hour before your shift or or days you don’t work

Wondered if that was part of it

[mrln]

whats up with that?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Looking at the server stats, nothing stands out.
infact, the number of logged in users is slightly down over the preceeding 4 days.

[Backpackingvet]

@Pilgrimsmaster

Flipper

It’s name is On1k0

@Pilgrimsmaster

That sounds so wrong

I’m more worried you thought about fucking a dog in heat as what I meant.

I meant putting diapers on that bitch.

@mrln

whats up with that?

@Pilgrimsmaster

Looking at the server

I bet it’s in heat too

I know I’ve seen them before, but my search skills are failing me, I don’t suppose anyone has links to any of the various removal videos that have been posted to the forum?

All I can find is the support page’s recommended technique video, no actually removals yet

[Eriequiet]

Idk where the other ones are at,
But here’s mine sorry it’s hard to see what’s going on

I don’t suppose anyone has links to any of the various removal videos

Satur9 has a couple I can think of

xNT Removal Log

[Warning: there is a bit of blood] Hey All, So I’ve had an xNT installed between my thumb and forefinger (the usual place) since 2015, but I wanted to open up that space for the expanded capabilities of a NExT. It was time for an upgrade. I went to my usual guy. We decided the first step should be to remove the xNT and then install the NExT. The xNT was removed through an incision closer to the wrist-side of my hand, then the NExT was installed via the normal implantation method (syringe) fro…

Finger Magnet Removal and Titan Install (there will be blood )

Content Warning: Blood I don’t always post on the Dangerous Things forum, but when I do it’s a fucking bloodbath, Tom. So I previously had a parylene coated cylinder magnet in my left ring fingertip that was 3mm diameter by 6mm height. I had that removed today. I also had a Titan installed in my left middle fingertip. I’m going to post some pics and info for posterity. First off was the removal. I needed to get this taken out because I was getting irritation in the area, which wa…

and also Vicarious

Cyborg upgrade!

those are just off the top of my head, let me know if you need more and I’ll do a proper search

[Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha]

That’s plenty for me for now, I appreciate the help!

Got another interesting comment on my Flipper review:

James Randi Speaks: The Compass Trick

Some of you don’t even need the tape…

[Eriequiet]

So this forum is one of the better places for me to ask level heads about this… since we’ve had previous discussions on it,

Pronouns

So I goofed and used the wrong pronouns regarding someone
w/e accidents Happen and I corrected my statements

Sort of…

It/it’s is what the person who was correcting me reminded me of,

But honestly? I’ve never been able to put it into words well… but “IT” doesn’t feel comfortable for me to use
It seems objectifying and dehumanizing
(Which granted in this forum takes on a different spin, since many want to become cyborgs lol)
Just feels rude to me in general regardless if someone requests it (putting aside cyborg lifestyle)

So I just changed to using their name… which seemed ok… but now I’m wondering if that is or not

Am I right / wrong / other in this situation?

[Satur9]

This is definitely more valuable with more opinions, but for my piece I thought just using the username was better even than whatever the “correct” pronouns were. Personally I don’t care very much about it, but from a “better safe than sorry” perspective I would say it’s smarter to use their username in any case because the sort of people who specify pronouns might be either at a certain point in their journey or may view gender as a spectrum. If you just use the name then even if they change later the post will still be valid. You might end up deadnaming them posthumously, but like that’s less disruptive I guess and more in their court.

[ThePolishedTurd]

I do think the forum type atmosphere is conducive to just using usernames since unless someone lists it in their profile or mentions it you don’t know what their preferred pronouns are going to be. There is something magical about not having faces just abstract names and avatars.

[Eriequiet]

@ThePolishedTurd

There is something magical about not having faces just abstract names and avatars.

This,
I think I tried to say something like this forever ago and probably mangled it

I think someone was clarifying their orientation or something and I found it mildly amusing because I forget that users on this forum aren’t their avatar… let alone that they have any orientation whatsoever

I’m going to be catching up with @darthdomo in july for a biohacker village… and the fact that he will have a flesh and blood body and is not in fact a plushy is beyond weird lol

This is why it messes with my when someone changes their avatar because it’s like I don’t even know who they are anymore lol
