One more reason to get an Apex :sweat_smile:

MMmmmm, dimples…

Sorry, what were we talking about?

Wait, some of you don’t have an outrageous urge to stuff as much electronics and metal in your body!? What!?

In fact, I want a metal mohawk to go along with all of the other implants. But I’m kinda hesitant on transdermals for the time being. And above all that, I want to be a robot instead of all this…

I now know why someone bought 10 titans. Removable Mohawk sounds pretty sweet

If only that wasn’t a great way to get necrosis very close to your skull…

Well, was finally motivated to try and get the NFC reader on my Surface Go2 to work.

Good news, I was successful, bad news, it doesn’t read the Apex Flex (or NFC Yubikey). because no secured element in the reader. Apparently, it’s only good for basic MiFare1k etc stuff.

Reads the NExT and xMagic without any troubles though.

I’ll admit, every time I see @enginerd post, it reminds me of MegaMan rap

Hopefully I’m not annoying you all with this (not so) little obsession of mine…

Nah dude, your fine. I just had a lot of fun playing Megaman back in the day, and you’re the only ā€œI wanna be a robotā€ person I know, so…

Been loving the new Flipper update. Tested the NFC speeds by doing another dump of my apartment key (m1k) and it’s SO much faster at running through key dictionaries. This little guy is easily the best rfid-related purchase I’ve made

I agree. It’s so well made and the interface makes it so easy to use. I would love a proxmark with the ease of use of the flipper with better hardware

Ehhh… This isn’t really a thing… it’s likely middleware stopping this. I know on my old thinkbook with NFC reader had to run some software that changed the reader into ccid mode so PC/SC stack support can work with it.

I’d search around for some hacks to get this working

Huh, interesting… I had to muck around with drivers to get it to read at all. It beeps on the ones it can read, but doesn’t beep at all on the ones it doesn’t. No errors for anythin. I’ll probably dig into it sooner or later

The ocular display I used to use was mounted to glasses via magnets. I’ve considered mounting one to biomagnets, maybe two or three for stability. If only I could trust the form factor not to become obsolete any time soon.

Anybody else seeing a silver lining in Israel planting spicy seeds in pagers and walkie talkies?

Besides the obvious… psyop aspects

A lot of people are thinking that they only overloaded the lithium batteries…. Which as far as I understand is PART of what happened, but that was only used to initiate explosives they hide in the devices ahead of time

But the masses think it was just a cyber thing, and I’m seeing people start to not trust cloud devices and want more control of their devices… which I’m here for

Sorry I’m out of the loop… context?

Essentially hezbollah uses (used)
Old school pagers as a huge part of its communications network

Yesterday Israel made all of them go boom
(Like several thousand of them… and reportedly after making specific alert notifications to make someone bring it to their face to read :see_no_evil:)

There was huge speculation that they hacked the devices and caused the devices to overload their lithium cells…

The explosions were far spicier than lithium, but the common folk enjoy the narrative of ā€œoverloading their batteriesā€ so you have a bit of people choosing to believe it was only a cyber attack

In reality they intercepted a huge shipment of the pagers months and months ago, and supposedly put about REDACTED half a golfballs worth of explosives… supposedly petN but I’m not familiar with it

….today all their walkie talkies exploded :upside_down_face:

But because people would rather believe it was just a cyber attack thing… it’s got people starting to be wary of what people could do remotely to their devices… or what could be concealed in electronics coming from overseas etc

A dash of paranoia… but possibly getting people to wake up to some right to repair and cyber vulnerability stuffs?
