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

[Eriequiet]

I know we all get itchy implants from time to time,
But has anyone else noticed meaningful trends?

I feel like whenever my implants are particularly itching I happen to be healing from something, coming down or getting over something… or some general immune response probably…

I know are various reasons why this could be a thing, even though your body has mechanisms to guide response to certain areas, it’s still prone global actions, and implants are by nature a foreign body your body has been giving a side eye to for a while lol

I guess what I’m asking is… just me?

The unit has to be power cycled to read the configuration data and then again to write any new configuration.

The only consistent itching I get is the magnet (xG3 in the inner forearm) when they get vibrating from a solenoid or transformer. If the frequency is high enough you “don’t feel it” other than a very unique itchy feeling

A Bluetooth implant could be very useful

I read it as “hornytown” for some reason

[Tugboat]

I imagine it would be annoying for it to glow all the time

Nah, happens to me all the time. Your body gave up on trying to destroy or push out the implant after install, so it made the encapsulation scar tissue and fibrin sheath. Those types of cells only come about from an injury like this though, so there’s still leftover signaling proteins and such on their surfaces and in the interstitial fluid around them that the white blood cells see when they’re in a heightened state. The lymphatic system is one of the most impressive parts of our evolution, of all the things (other than chromosomal normality) we would be the most dead without it. It wasn’t guided or anything though, so it can seem kind of slapdash when is erroneously targets our own body (which it does a lot)

Someone calling a magnetic field “itchy” was not something that I expected to ever see…

Even less while making perfect sense and making me want to experience the same feeling…

[Hamspiced]

I highly recommend it. It was a bit weird for me the first time I felt it. Now it’s literally like another sense.

Sensing magnetic surfaces is probably my second most favorite thing about it

It does fill itchy, like deep itch you that last a few minutes after being out of the field if I get it strong enough. But that may be because I have them at a place that isn’t super sensitive so sensing anything excite the local nerves ?
I work around solenoids a lot and they trigger my xG3 (lifting one, not the sensing one) on the inner of my forearm about 30-40mm away … I need to get a good video of it next time I have enough light …

Body is a funny thing, made up of a bunch of interconnected but different systems. You might not have a lot of tactile corpuscles in that area but there are definitely nerves there. At the end of the nerves are specific types of cells that act as sensors… except for free floating nerves, which are responsible for that itch sensation… those are everywhere.

@XEMON

This is probably due to Pacinian corpuscles!

Thanks chatGPT for listing things out so nicely…

Nerve sensors, or sensory receptors, for tactile sensations, itch, and temperature are specialized structures in the skin and other tissues. Here’s a breakdown of the types associated with each sensation:

Tactile (Touch) Sensors

1. Merkel Cells/Discs

Function: Detect sustained touch and pressure.

Location: Found in the epidermis, especially in fingertips and lips.

2. Meissner’s Corpuscles

Function: Detect light touch and vibration.

Location: Found in the dermal papillae of hairless skin, like palms and soles.

3. Pacinian Corpuscles

Function: Detect deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.

Location: Found deep in the dermis and in subcutaneous tissue.

4. Ruffini Endings

Function: Detect skin stretch and sustained pressure.

Location: Found in the dermis and joint capsules.

5. Free Nerve Endings

Function: Detect light touch and pain.

Location: Widely distributed in the skin.

6. Hair Follicle Receptors

Function: Detect movement of hair.

Location: Around hair follicles.

---

Itch Sensors

1. Free Nerve Endings (Specific Subtypes)

Function: Detect chemical and mechanical irritation that causes itch (pruritus).

Location: Primarily in the epidermis.

Notes: Respond to histamine and other chemical mediators of itch, such as proteases.

---

Temperature Sensors

1. Thermoreceptors (Free Nerve Endings)

Subtypes:

Cold Receptors (A-delta fibers): Detect cooling sensations.

Warm Receptors (C fibers): Detect warming sensations.

Location: Distributed throughout the skin.

2. Polymodal Receptors

Function: Detect extreme temperatures and pain (nociception).

Location: Found in the epidermis and dermis.

These sensory receptors send signals to the brain via specific pathways in the peripheral and central nervous systems to allow the perception of touch, itch, and temperature.

Google Gemini tells grad student to 'please die'

I would’ve said the same after being asked to write things that are more and more political for an hour straight… I wasn’t expecting Gemini to be relatable…

[TSMC55]

At least it was polite and said please. I, personally, don’t see Skynet saying please. That has to be a step forward, right?

[enginerd]

It said what Pilgrimsmaster and I are thinking. And we’re both polite.

I’m just missing the uploading bit…

This is why the dt version of stickers have nothing printed on them… guerilla use on unowned readers was expected… and now it’s happened in the wild

[Eriequiet]

lol

This is still safe though right? It’s still a tokenized transaction so in theory sniffing / skimming shouldn’t be a concern?

[Hamspiced]

The new version of my stickers has the logo only on the sticker side. I’m case people think it’s some skimming device they can go to the git and read what it does.

[amal]

Well … actually… tokenized payment instruments which are passive is static until you retokenize so it’s just as vulnerable as a credit card to skimming. Phones get a new token each time in a complete online loop… so they are single use… but not passive tokens.

Anyway… people dumb anyway so I expect this sticker will be removed as soon as found. We’ll see. @tac0s let us know!

[Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha]

How does the retokenization work on cards then?

I would have figured the card did some fancy crypto-magumbo to generate it fresh each time

[amal]

Your bank card is not tokenized. The only passive tokenized devices that I’m aware of are Fidesmo, wearonize, and g+d systems… these can be retokenized if necessary. Digiseq devices like walletmor cannot be retokenized.
