What would be the ideal setup for a complete cyborg?

Let’s suppose you want to have the most complete setup a cyborg could have. I currently have these implanted on me:

  1. xNT + xLED on my left hand (between the thumb and index finger)
  2. xEM + xLED on my right hand (between the thumb and index finger)
  3. NeXT on my left hand (close to the metacarpal) - this one usually gives me a hard time when i’m trying to use it; maybe the design is not the same as the xNT when it comes to antenna compatibility).

What more could I put in my body if I wanted to have literally all capabilities? Apex? Walletmor? Magnets? xBT? I want it all! The supreme setup!

I want to know all options, but I want minimum redundancy. I am open to remove implants on my body and substitute them, but i would prefer not to.

I would definitely add:

The only overlap with this setup is the flexUG4 with the xNT, but the flexUG4 has better performance and can emulate a lot more

Are FlexSecure and Apex Flex redundant?

Xg3 is a game changer

So kinda.
There’s some nuances to the differences:

FlexSecure:

  • Open Java card, no preinstalled apps and you control the keys
  • more difficult to install apps on

Apex Flex:

  • Fidesmo controls the keys, makes it easy to use their phone app to install/update apps on the implant
  • Fidesmo Pay is pre-installed. It basically will never work and eats up about half the available memory on the implant

Some people have 1 of each, or 2 of one type, using one as sort of a back up of the other.

What about the Walletmor? You wouldn’t use it?

Why is so? I’m not particularly convinced of the utility of lifting things other than making a show. I’m also concerned about the MRI incompatibility.

Isn’t the Apex Flex able to perform the xNT functions too?

I’m US based so curve doesn’t work in my country. Doesn’t work for me + never used it + not sure where you are = can’t comment either way

So yes but also no. They can both do NFC sharing, but the apex flex is more for cryptographic needs (key control, u2f, etc.) And the xNT is more generic NFC. The apex flex is actually a java card running Java applets, the xNT is a dumb little guy

Most complete setup a cyborg you say?

I think that everyone knows that I’m going to ask for at least this level of augmentation:

10/10 would perform regular maintenance

I’m personally not keeping my human face. I’d rather have a metal plate instead.

While this preference is motivated by my desire to be as comfortable as possible in my “skin”, not having a human face has the advantage of making you invisible to face tracking software.

So beautiful, either way!

Honestly, the ideal situation for me would be to be slowly upgraded one part at a time until I was entirely synthetic. I want to enjoy every part of the journey, literally piece by piece.

It’s not just Lifting things. Its parts storage, sensing (in certain locations), and the ability to immediately detect if something is magnetic. It assists me almost daily in picking up small parts that have dropped in carpet, or to hold on to small parts while i am working on something. The XG3 has been the most used implant i have.

Lifting things, barely used other than to make my kiddos go wow.

I’m guessing your question is more around the game changer comment rather than the xG3 itself since you have two xLEDs which are purely for show…

I would agree that Jammys list pretty much covers most things.

Implants like the FlexUG4 are great because it’s like the LFs T5577 and can emulate MOST other chips in its respective frequency.
Even though the UG4 can emulate an NTAG216, I still have a FlexNT because it is by dedicated business card implant, the UG4 can emulate a Mifare Classic 1k, but I still have a FlexM1 because it is my dedicated door lock implant (although when I travel it regularly becomes my hotel door key).

My UG4 is my “get out of jail free card”, its my Ultralight and “others” including the NTAG216 and MF1k etc.
Just something for you to consider.

Also have an xEM, but an uograde to FlexEM would add better range performance

Ahahaha. But I meant the most complete setup that is commercially available or a project that may not be publicly available, but is at least relatively easy to reproduce.

I don’t think that xLEDs are just for show. I use them as field detectors.

Serious lack of flexes on your list. The performance of the x-series is so lackluster I don’t even bother with them any more. You might be wary of them now, but future you is going to be saying “why did I bother with all this glass?” In a year after you’ve had your first flex installed
