Look at the picture on the trailer. Youāll see a white box on one leg of the machine. Thereās three wires poking out. Thatās where the meth heads cut the Cat5 cables off to (assumably) steal the copper. You know, instead of just unplugging them. Donāt do meth, kids. Meth is bad. Brain will rot.
Totally not cyborg-related at all, but festival season is getting closer, so I started some last-minute-hot-glue-gun-fun to make a nice little hairclip to accompany one of my outfits.
For Fatherās day, I bought my dad a Shot Scope V3 golf watch. It works as a golf GPS, while tracking a ton of data about his golf game.
It has 16 RFID tags that come with it, to automatically track which club is being used. They screw into the top of the club, into the handle (most grips have a hole in the center).
The most interesting part to me is the watch itself. I was wondering how it managed to read 13.56MHz chips from such a long distance, and one with such variance. Itās meant to be able to read the tag whenever youāre holding the club, ready to swing.
The ideal reading zone is on the long band, the one without the buckle, near that black plastic (it actually clips into the holes on the buckle band, to keep it from flopping around).
I tried it out, the distance is great, reading from an inch or so with tons of variation in position. It has a mode for testing the tags, and whenever I held the club normally, it was able to pick it up. Amazing whatās possible with well-tuned and designed antennas.
Thanks. My dad is an avid golfer, golfing basically every single Saturday since before I was born. This is the first gift Iāve really bought anyone with my own money, so wanted to make it something good. He was really happy with it, hopefully it works for him next time he goes golfing, and many times after that.
Of course, immediately after buying it, I lost a ton of potential income thanks to COVID (even with my jobās COVID compensation, Iām only getting like half of my lost shifts covered), but whatever. Going back to work tonight, hopefully wonāt have any more issues.
researching golf club holding, it seems if the antenna was the diameter of the wristband itself going around the arm, then a proper hold on the club would but the end of the handle right up in the in sweet spot zone, in parallel with the antenna ringā¦ nearly perfect place for reading a tag.
Yeah, itās quite a smart design. I was amazed at how well it worked myself. The second I held the club properly, blam, got a read. The end of the grip on the club ends up actually bumping right up against the edge of the watchband, absolutely perfect.
It seems that the antenna is only half the wristband, but by making it the longer part that goes through the buckle, it wraps around the other portion to an extent. Another smart choice.
I personally think xG3s are not meant for fingers. There are exceptions, if you have a big finger and know it fits a glass capsule, go for it, but otherwiseā¦
I feel like xG3 finger installs regulary fail or reject soon.
There are other positions for it esp. for lifting.
Does everyone get this picture?
Because if you look at the shop, you just see finger installs and the xG3 compared to a finger.
agreeā¦ xg3 are not designed for fingers. basically like all implants, they are designed to be implantedā¦ but exactly where and what location is best is always up to you and your installer to decide. I do understand that having images of the magnet sitting on a finger might lead someone to determine āhey these are for fingersā but none of the implants we sell have a specified locationā¦ only suggested locations. I will consider updating the imagery to maybe not suggest fingertips. Fingers are extremely difficult places to install anything.
I say no. For me, itās a small place, allowing for too many things to go wrong. Plus I would think they would get in the way of doing things.
I installed mine in between my knuckles. Unfortunately, canāt comment much on the āperformanceā, as I donāt really use it much. Havenāt really sensed much eitherā¦ well except for the metal lamp at the hotel I stayed at post-install . That was a very strange feeling when you are half drunk trying to twist the metal knob lol.
Iāll post a photo of mine later when I have time. Iām currently 10,000ft up in the air. (Yes, I paid the $16 for WiFi just to read the forum) .
actually I donāt seem to have much imagery for magnets in anywhere other than fingersā¦ does anyone want to supply some here so I can update the listing?
