To be honest, I think it isnāt that odd of an idea. Unheard of? sure. Kind of āpointlessā (in a practical way) yea.
But bringing one of your passions and your best friend together as a sentimental item makes sense 100% itās close to a remembrance tattoo in my eyes.
Honestly, Iāve talked to people before about implanting diamonds made from ashes of their lives ones. Itās not necessary to encapsulate diamond, you can just put it in directly. People actually do this as emergency funds well hidden when traveling in risky areasā¦ easy to convert to cash for a quick plane ride home if necessary.
According to the article, because of the purple magic?
ā¦but seriously thatās actually really cool, thanks for sharingā¦ I would have bet that higher IPA equates to higher sterilizationā¦ itās fun and enlightening to be wrong sometimes
ā¦thatās crazy(the good kind)
Iād hope you clean the blood off before taking it to a Jewelry store lol
Begs the question if the area is that sketchyā¦ could you realistically have access to a place to then diamond into cash
This has to be a regional thingā¦ like Canadians and their milk in a plastic bag
I just bought a new phone that actually has NFC, very excited 
To write to my implants Iāve been using an old LG V20, but that thing is too old IMO for daily use, and it really sucks not being able to use my implants with my daily driver. My main phone atm is a Moto G7 Power that I got free for signing up with my carrier. Itās not awful for a free phone, but itās buggy as hell. The bluetooth on it is so bad that my headphones cut out if I put my phone in my pocket (regardless of what headphones Iām using). Plus, regardless of implants, not having Google Pay has been a bit of a pain.
I would have probably backed a titan with the money instead, but Iād been saving for a new phone for a while, plus I have some of the same concerns that @anon3825968 has regarding the drawbacks. Mainly MRI incompatibility, combined with the fact that I work with a lot of very intricate and small metal/ferrous parts, and in a lot of small metal spaces. Iām also a vintage computer enthusiast, and the chance of wiping a bunch of 5.25" floppies on accident doesnāt sound fun. Iām a bit worried about the bump too. Iāve got large fingers, but even the visibility of my Spark 2 took a little bit to get used to (very visible if I flex my fist). Any kind of change in the profile of my finger might freak me out a bit.
Raaahhhā¦ the lock industry is crazy. They donāt want to sell you anything if youāre not a building company trying to outfit several large buildings. I mean seriously, do these people have too much money or something? A saleās a sale ferchrissake!
Iāve been conning several companies into answering me literally for months by pretending I want to test their hardware as a company, with a view to placing a large order if Iām satisfied. None of them will answer me as a simple customer - including distributors - even if I dangle several hundred dollars worth of sales in front of their noses. I have to use the fake business identity I usually use to get Chinese suppliers to talk to me (because they too will ignore you unless they think youāre going to order a batch of a million billion piecesā¦)
This is so frustrating. Butā¦ Iām close to getting somewhere. I might actually be able to report on a new, interesting implant-friendly lock not too far in the future - and more importantly, where / how / how much to buy it
(Sorry Iām ranting here, as I didnāt feel like opening a thread just for a rant)
This is the place, for just that sort of thing.
Intriguing, and good luck
No youāre being a tease
i have to get myself an nfc phone, I replaced my phone 2 days after i got my implant (i got it implanted Christmas eve, so boxing day sales were on) but it ended up being a dud of a phone i had to return 3 weeks later and i never got around to getting a new one. makes showing off my implant alot harder
I normally donāt do the newest phone thing
But the iPhone 12 pro max (all the tags)
Has a lidar scanner on the camera assembly
This excites the 3D printer in me
Only really showed it being used for room scans, and I might be grasping at something not there
But the idea of a 3D scanner built into my phone would be very nice
I know there was a note 10 but I never heard how it was received
As a 3D printer as well (and a developer in general) the lidar functionality is intriguing, but I just couldnāt deal with the cost, and the locked down development ecosystem. Iāve got a few older macbooks I use for iOS development, but itās not nearly as enjoyable as using my daily driver linux PC for android development. Plus Iām pretty embedded in the USB type C ecosystem, Iāve ensured that all of my newer daily electronics use it for practicality reasons.
Iām a bit late on that, but I really like your idea. Itās not creepy at all, and itās a great idea for connection and memory, in a wayā¦ and since many of those āmemory-portraitā-tattoos donāt look that good, itās even better than that 
Hope you can get the chip cleaned up well and hope itās still in a good shapeā¦
Recently I stumbled upon something similar (though maybe a bit more creepy) - maybe I misunderstood it, but if I get this right, Steve offers silicone capsules to be filled with, well, maybe the ashes of a loved one?
You do live in the land of Abloysā¦ (I was in the Helsinki museum of design and they had Abloys on lockersā¦) but Iām guessing a Abloy C301 with an electric striker would just not be practical for your purpose?
Also, for the people invested in Ubiquiti: they just released their Access system, which can work with Mifare Classic, UL, DF1/2 and evolutionā¦ and it does not use Wiegand - fully encrypted communications with the hub. So if you use it with a DF2 it is sooo much more secureā¦ but it is quite fucking expensive (~400ā¬ for Dream machine pro + ~500ā¬ for Access kit for one door [hub, reader, reader with touchscreen, phone functionality, also as intercom])
Itās more complicated than that: the doors I intend to āupgradeā cannot be modified, for practical and legal reasons. I found a very clean, very pro, minimally invasive solution to the problem. But itās quite hard to get my hands on only a few of those devices.
If it does what I want, itāll fit just about any door under the sun.
I canāt say more at this point, but watch this space.
Oh, yeah, that is a bit too much for me. I can understand it kinda too. I havenāt heard of that, only mixing in the ash to ink.
Not doing that either.
Sounds interesting too, especially considering that the very first tattoo colours were mostly made of ashā¦ I wouldnāt do that, either, but I like the idea.
Aaandā¦ I finally managed to talk to the right rep with the right state of mind. I got me a quotation for a really nice lock that seems to do exactly what I want. Not too expensive too, although not cheap. And he knows about the implants too: I threw it in the discussion to see if itād stick, and he turned out to be quite interested.
Finally! Iām suddenly excited
Keep us posted Does the lock perchance work with Desfire2?
Iām totally fine with āthese guysā, donāt worry
Okay, here it is again, though it hasnāt changed much - it feels a lot better now, on day 2 and 3 the itching was nearly unbearable (especially at night, kept me nice awake, that little babyā¦), now itās day 5, the itching is almost gone, the pain is gone as long as I donāt poke it, there is no more wound fluid, and in two days I can start annoying it with lemon-and-sugar special care 
Only - totally expected - problem: My skin hates tape. Iāve got a nice red frame around my design now^^
That is so cool looking. So how do they achieve such deep precise cuts? Is it just a tattoo gun with no ink? A dull scalpel?
