This has been done; there's a GDocs spreadsheet around here somewhere. IIRC, the longest successful implants documented so far ar in the 2-3 year range.
-
How does this method compare to using the reader/writer sold on cyberize.me?
-
Not only that, but why on earth would you choose to enter through the area with the most sensitive nerve endings, making it way more unpleasant and likely to do damage?
-
Yup, it's also why the "scruff" is a thing. Lot of animals (most? all?) are like that, it's key to how skinning works - it basically just slides off like a glove once you cut through a few key areas where it's attached like ours is almost everywhere.
-
Yeah, "unfurling" implants work in animals like dogs because their skin isn't attached throughout like a human's. On a human, that method would only work someplace with similar anatomy, like...the shaft of the penis. Have fun. Otherwise, pocketing is the way you do it.

Stick to the standard implant locations on the SIDES of the fingers and not underneath the pads, and you'll be fine. I also rock climb, and I do a number of fingertip chinups on door frames every day and I haven't had any issues. Two magnets in my left ring and index fingers, about 2.5 years old each I think.
-
What about magnetic induction used for data instead of power? Like a tiny modem that sits between a standard Qi unit and a device to use the charging plate as a transmitter or receiver?
-
Would probably be unwise to deviate from other tech industry standards, so something like USB-C would be best. Making it transdermal doesn't necessarily mean the port has to be different from the rest of the gadget world, it's just mounted differently.

I'd be all over one with 3 LEDs in a triangle, underneath a Triforce tattoo on the back of my hand.

I put a share URL to a dropbox folder. Right now I keep a bunch of APKs for setting up Android junk without going through Google to do it.
-
so 10/6 at 20:00PST? Cool, I'll be there. I have Slack notifications off on my phone, so if stuff is going on in there I've probably missed it but I'll hop on "fulltime" for the discussion group. Cassox, how much of the course should we aim to have completed prior to the discussion?
-
wow, that sucks...like, a LOT. I know there's a pretty useful makerlab here in my town, I just haven't had a good reason to bug them yet (also I may or may not have a srsbsns insomnia issue that makes me utterly useless during normal-people-hours). If you can get me the traces needed and any relevant info like wire guage…
-
This seems very specific for this forum, and not necessarily in line with transhumanism; I really hate to discourage participation, but this definitely seems like something you should maybe see your doctor about? If your doc has been a failure, maybe consider a nutritionist or a naturopath. I'm far from an expert on such…
-
I see...The Edison is the SD-card-sized micro-computer, right? What about hitting up a lcoal makerlab to have someone there wire up the 2-3 traces needed for the project?
-
Kind of reminds me of a mini-PCIe connector; I had a netbook with a spare on eof those sucker, and I couldn't get my soldering skill to the level neede dso I hocked it and bought on with a 3G/SIM card adapter soldered on rather than try to make it myself. If it's just a charger, isn't it just a matter of wiring in the +-5V…
-
The most interesting thing I'm taking away from this thread is all the members I've never seen before...I hope you folks aren't holding back on posting out of fear of being judged for your preferences. :/
-
I just filled it out as well; available preeeeeeety much anytime.
-
Because it's never a bad thing to have more information, and when that much is on the line you leave no variable unaccounted for. At least, that would be why I would ask about it.
-
I'm in; just signed up for the course and setup the app on my phone. This'll be fun.
-
All ATA5577 chips are the same, right? Like, if I already have an xEM in my hand this one won't change anything if I were to swap them out? I admit, the massively more compact implant size kinda makes me want to upgrade...
-
While it may not have the mechanical properties needed to replace structural elements like ribs, I believe "little people" like us can in fact print using biocompatible polymers.
-
I'm really curious to know how those have held up, I believe he did that at least 2-3 years ago.
-
It probably doesn't help that some grinders actually ARE discontent with their bodies, and then someone sees that and cognitive bias kicks in and won't let go.
-
I think you're taking the things I say a wee bit too srsface.
-
And then we'll have an IRL version of what's been going on throughout image boards...everyone and their dog has heterochromia and it ceases to be anything resembling "novel". It's like kids that want to eat dessert all the time, without understanding that scarcity is what makes it special in the first place.
-
@TheGreyKnight, I was under the impression that artificial lenses are still rather inferior compared to a decent natural one, so ruining a perfectly good original might still be unwise.
-
@Dragon5, I don't think that's quite what happened... I've often thought an implanted LESS-lethal weapon might be legitimately useful, like a taser (some kind of well-insulated subdermal taser that discharges via transdermal contacts on your palm or knuckles, maybe? Built-in "shock gloves"?). And while other people were…

War never changes. The tools with which it is waged, do.
-
@TheGreyKnight, if we consider a ballistic knife one may as well go the whole way and just install a muzzleloader or a bowgun. I'm still getting very strong assassin's creed vibes from this thread, and I think I enjoy it.

Make a lightweight hollow polymer eye with a neodymium magnet for a pupil, so in the presence of a strong field it spins around and freaks people out. And a glowing red LED for a terminator effect.
