One more reason to get an Apex ![]()
MMmmmm, dimplesā¦
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Wait, some of you donāt 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 Iām kinda hesitant on transdermals for the time being. And above all that, I want to be a robot instead of all thisā¦

I now know why someone bought 10 titans. Removable Mohawk sounds pretty sweet
If only that wasnāt a great way to get necrosis very close to your skullā¦
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 doesnāt read the Apex Flex (or NFC Yubikey). because no secured element in the reader. Apparently, itās only good for basic MiFare1k etc stuff.
Iāll admit, every time I see @enginerd post, it reminds me of MegaMan rap
Hopefully Iām not annoying you all with this (not so) little obsession of mineā¦
:robot_gundam:
Nah dude, your fine. I just had a lot of fun playing Megaman back in the day, and youāre the only āI wanna be a robotā person I know, soā¦

Been loving the new Flipper update. Tested the NFC speeds by doing another dump of my apartment key (m1k) and itās SO much faster at running through key dictionaries. This little guy is easily the best rfid-related purchase Iāve made
I agree. Itās 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 isnāt really a thing⦠itās 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.
Iād 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 doesnāt beep at all on the ones it doesnāt. No errors for anythin. Iāll probably dig into it sooner or later
Read this thread to see an example of what Iām talking aboutā¦
The ocular display I used to use was mounted to glasses via magnets. Iāve 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 batteriesā¦. 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 Iām seeing people start to not trust cloud devices and want more control of their devices⦠which Iām here for
Sorry Iām 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
)
There was huge speculation that they hacked the devices and caused the devices to overload their lithium cellsā¦
The explosions were far spicier than lithium, but the common folk enjoy the narrative of āoverloading 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 Iām not familiar with it
ā¦.today all their walkie talkies exploded ![]()
But because people would rather believe it was just a cyber attack thing⦠itās 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?
Huh
puts Mr Robot in the queue to rewatch
