Oh my gods, the VivoKey finally showed up! We didn’t even have to attend an exclusive event to capture it. How’s it going, VivoKey? We’ve been patiently awaiting your arrival
I’m so excited for this. I wasn’t part of the Flex One beta so it looks like I’ll have to wait a lot longer, but I’m be eagerly setting aside money and perusing Vivokey’s Github account in the mean time.
You’ll get to read my crap code, hooray! Although most of the work is in stuff we haven’t released yet (mostly backend and server code right now) lately
Hi, really interested in the Apex, mostly because I want to run Tesla Not-A-Keycard.
Would be very happy to beta test. This is not my first rodeo, I did have an account on here before - and this is me injecting the dangerous things NFC chip, back in 2015.
If someone could invite me to the vivokey forums that would be awesome.
The VivoKey forum set up for the private Flex One beta is on the verge of shutting down. The beta program was closed and the product was cancelled. The Apex has no beta program and will become available on the market as soon as it’s ready.
Thanks for posting the video. I won’t comment on the chip implant itself or its potential quality or safety issues, but I will say this as just a simple bit of triva - wearing unsterile gloves on your own installation is unnecessary as the purpose of an unsterile glove is to simply protect the wearer from your blood and any possible pathogens it might carry. Since you are self-installing (which we strongly disapprove of for all you would-be self installers out there), you don’t need to wear anything that might encumber your movement or precision… just wash hands before and after.
Good point and I am a bit more familiar now. I also now have a piercing contact who knows what they are doing which was not the case then, in my defence.
Thanks for the info, I will keep a keen eye on the forums.
will any of the posts on that forum be migrated elsewhere or preserved in any fashion? i haven’t checked in in a while, but i recall there being a decent chunk of info that might still be valuable to some people. it’d be a shame to see it just disappear like that
To add to what @Backpackingvet said … I guarantee you a normie putting on a sterile glove will do two things; 1) contaminate the glove, 2) convince them they can now touch wounds and do stupid things and not be as careful as they should be.
I have literally seen “professionals” (people with body piercing licenses) open the sterile field, lay it on the table, then use their bare hands to smooth it out like a tablecloth… contaminating the entire surface… like 100% contamination… then take the injector out… take the cap off immediately before anything else, then lay the bare needle down on the contaminated field.
Being mindful of cross contamination and maintaining a sterile field is not easy. In fact, I would say most people - even smartypants types - will always fail hard at it.
