You’re probably too advanced for that particular bug.

Hacking my “smart” toothbrush

I thought Tom Scott had a great video on the subject but I can’t find it

In the very narrow niche of using hand tracking for fun stuff with magnet implants this is new and exiting!

I want one really bad but I just invested in a Flipper. Also developing on a platform that nobody has is not super fun

@5hi3ld That looks like a typical install, nothing to worry about.
I do have a question though
Is that remnants of iodine on you skin!?
Did your installer allow it to dry before piercing your skin?

Weirdest NFC device I've seen

Today I got a new toothbrush. I’ve always had issues with oral health (runs in the family), so I decided to spring for a nice one. I ended up with the Philips Sonicare 9300 DiamondClean Smart. It was one of the best ones Best Buy had, and I needed one tonight. My old one died. I noticed that the brush handle could recognize which brushhead was put on top. I watched a promotional video, where they stated it was NFC. Surprisingly, a quick scan revealed that it’s 13.56MHz ISO 14443a. So… I give …

Right! I got them confused

[Az_F]

Okay that’s it I’m getting one. I find the price reasonable actually…

Brace yourselves for some wild augmented reality - biomagnet shit. Which I will be sharing for whoever has one of course

If I find a way to integrate it on Android then this is going to be crazy! Precise hand tracking + android’s AR in unity?! You’re about to touch unicorns

Done!

Hello @Pilgrimsmaster.
Yes, it’s “betadine” which contains iodine. And yes, he let it dry.

AWESOME
good to hear

I totally read that different

@heliloo

Why does the xMagic have to be case sensitive to have it show the link?

@heliloo

Was just curious.

It’s a me thing, not a you thing

I did consider it also, for the same reasons as you mentioned.
BUT
I decided to go case sensitive for a number of reasons.

I thought the same a while ago with xEM, thinking nothing of it, UNTIL somebody wrote
exempt
Its fine now though, because, the NExT was the outlier, so I made the watched word as “The NExT”
Then somebody wrote
"The next implant i get will be…:
So this prompted me to contact the Discourse developers, and after some back and forth, and a very long time later, they finally fixed it

So now, since I asked for the ability to be able to do it, I really should use it.

Plus, it also “Teaches” people to write the implant name “properly”, and when they do, the reading of post become just a little more easy.

AND, the are some people that the “blue links” annoy (no idea why, it seems pretty inert to me), so this way there will be slightly fewer for them, but still plenty dotted around to make it easy for people reading a post/ thread of interest and a link straight to the webstore

here’s a bit more info

The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijacking🔫 thread🧵

Ha, well, here’s a super dumb and boring update, that probably nobody cares about… Discourse have finally done an update to something that I put a ticket in about quite a while ago. The watched words that generate the product hyperlinks for us eg. xEM , Scalpel etc. Watched words are regular expressions and they do not automatically include word boundaries. If you want the regular expression to match whole words, you have to include \b at the start and end of your regular expre…

[heliloo]

Ok perfect. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for all that work!!

And I love the blue links. Cause then I can just click them and see directly what people are talking about.

One more thing. Cause I still don’t quite get it.

Between the Xmagic and the NExT, the Xmagic would also be able to open the HF lock for my bus right? It’d just have to be programmed first?
Is that right?
Or is it a different chip type?
Where as the NExT comes preprogrammed?

I’m thinking of getting one of each. The price difference isn’t important.

Thanks for redirecting me to where my questions don’t bug as many people. Haha. Trying to learn but it’s slow going.

@heliloo

Yes

@heliloo

Enroll would be easier
(use the “add” card, then swipe your xMagic)
Programmed, similar, but you would just copy a pre-enrolled card/fob and write that to your xMagic

@heliloo

Or is it a different chip type?

yes, different chip types, but they are BOTH compatible with your bus lock.

@heliloo

Where as the NExT comes preprogrammed?

I think where you may be getting confused is:
the UID (Uniquie ID)
The NEXT (HF side) has a UID number that cant be changed.
The xMagic (HF side) has a NUID (non-unique ID), meaning

@scorpion

a 4byte UID, they are non unique since more cards have been made than 4 bytes can indicate

@heliloo

I’m thinking of getting one of each. The price difference isn’t important.

I think this is a great idea, you will have 4 chips, and all very useful.
I also think you should get them sooner rather than later, because…

@heliloo

Trying to learn but it’s slow going.

I think once you have them, all will make sense.

Heres what I think you should do

Get both NExT AND xMagic (although, you probably really only need the NExT for your situation)
Put the NExT in the hand that you plan on opening your bus with.
Use your flipper to copy a current enrolled card and write the LF side OR the “add” card of your LF reader to enroll it into the reader
Then use the “add” card of your HF reader
and the to enroll it into the reader

From then on, you should be all sorted and never have to change them again.
You can also use your NExT for sharing a business card, or storing links etc.

With the xMagic, that, combined with your flipper will become your “hacking” toys.
for making projects or when staying in hotels etc.
