I highly doubt you're the only aspie on this forum, but welcome :) @McSTUFF how about LCD without a backing?
-
I'm always up for constructive criticism and reality checks, so here's my responses: 1 - Speech recognition interface, data storage 2 - To be honest, it probably can be shrunk down a bit more, but I do like having the room for expansion 3 - I actually chose the edison due to physical size, features (wifi+bluetooth builtin)…

There have been RFID readers using specialist antennas to read from a distance. Of course if you encrypt the data, it's all a moot point - but i'm talking about the case where the data is in plaintext.
-
Put it this way: if I was after your money and knew that you stored your bank details or bitcoin wallet in an RFID chip, i'd use that attack vector to get what I was after.
-
And if you're targeted specifically?
-
To answer the question in the original post, putting aside my love of dystopian fiction I believe quite strongly that everyone has the right to augment themselves in whatever way they desire and that the technology to do should be developed and freely available as rapidly as possible.
-
I've been known to dabble in writing short sci-fi stories myself, this one is short enough to just paste here: "The program will not save us" the crazy man muttered over and overwhile the doctors took notes on his condition. Self-inflicted cuts tothe wrists that had covered over with scar tissue long ago, obvioussigns of a…

Security through obscurity is fundamentally doomed to fail eventually. Don't put anything you want to keep secret on a tag that can be read by anyone within range of you, or if you must then encrypt it.
-
NFC chips can be protected quite easily - worst case scenario is someone writes the wrong data to it then you later write the correct data. As implants become more advanced, security issues obviously pop up, but it depends on the specific implant. For my implantable edison project for example it's basically just like…

How much would you need to coat it in silicone (or another suitable bioproofing material)?
-
There's a possibility my arrangement to get this coated might fall through after all :( Anyone got ideas? I've already begun arranging the appointment to get it implanted in the new year
-
I posted this as just a silly pun that came to mind after reading "the transhumanist wager" and watching star trek, and you guys all took it seriously. Awesome.
-
Oh, I know it'd be safe, but psychologically the idea is so offputting and the device should be cheap enough that it's better to not reuse it.
-
Could also call it "Mother base" and get metal gear fans in on it......... Wasn't a serious idea, see the [humour] tag
-
After it passes through your digestive tract you want to recover it and reuse it by swallowing it again? Even if you sterilise it fully, that idea is rather off putting.....

Look up the 10 20 system:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-20_system_(EEG) You can get caps which already have the measurements in place for you and a decent clinical-grade EEG comes with such caps. At the hobbyist level you can get a shower cap and mark out the points yourself, make a little hole for the electrode to poke…
-
Take care, the magazine is sold out almost everywhere, I was lucky to snag one myself but wanted more and the poor shopkeeper was asking me why it's so insanely popular. Focus on the docs/protocol.txt file in the github repo, the actual code is nowhere near usable yet as i've been focused on other things. If you find me on…

doh! I did not
-
Just a question - where are you sourcing the hydroxyapatite from? I know you can buy it in capsules for oral supplementation, but I wouldn't trust that for this purpose.
-
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero/ This looks cool, might use it for the next version
-
This looks promising, but no commercial products out yet:http://simless.com/
-
Sorry for being all secretive but not sure if I can disclose that in public yet
-
This will soon be getting sent off for coating and sometime in the new year will then be getting implanted in my arm.
-
Well i've heard only anecdotal evidence on this claim, hence asking if anyone knows of hard data to either confirm or deny the claim.
-
For anything practical, electrodes work fine. For high-resolution interfaces, you're not going to get anything both portable and non-invasive.
-
Here in the UK police can in fact seize computers without a warrant, but even if a warrant is required it's not really a big deal for them to get one for a normal desktop or laptop. As for it never coming up - at some point it will if we manage to get such implants to mainstream acceptance, so it's worth investigating…
-
A normal computer the police can simply seize it and have their forensics people analyse the harddrive. An implanted computer on the other hand - to seize it they'd need to get a doctor to remove it, and a doctor would not be able to remove it without permission of the "patient". What i'm wondering is whether you can be…
-
Why bother when electrodes work fine?
-
It looks like some nice hardware and is on my "buy this once I can afford to do so" list. Certainly seems like it'll be far easier to work with than other EEGs with a similar number of channels due to the open nature of the project.
-
With that small amount of flash, x86 compatibility isn't a big deal really as any x86 binary code out there will need an underlying OS. Other than that, it's a nice little chip and I can easily see some uses for it.
