I'm sure many of you have seen this image floating around online at some point.

It seems a rather neat idea, though I'd be worried about any sort of accident, or even potential fight, ripping that piercing right out.

But, what if the lenses attached with magnets instead?...

Wh… Why do you have a magnet implant in your hand? If you don’t mind me asking. If you do mind, I didn’t ask.

Not the OP, but I too have implants all over my body - mostly in my hands also but not only. They're RFID and NFC transponders and they let me open doors, start my car (when I care to drive it, which isn't often), pay for things with contactless payment, log into computers, authenticate myself with my banking app...

I don't think I've used a key in the last 5 years, and a payment card in the last 3 months.

I've wanted RFID and the led nfc for a while, but keep hoping the dangerousthings guy will show up at toorcamp and he doesn't.

Yes I want a silly led under my skin. https://dangerousthings.com/product/xsiid/?srsltid=AfmBOorlULponcOOALBKxqyIN9YMJUyB74o1FhdSV0c5TSqnRpgdaPy-

It's just a glassie. Anybody vaguely competent can inject it in you wherever you want.

But if you absolutely want Amal to do it, PM him on the forum 🙂

I'm lazy and the convenience of him being right there was the appeal. Russ Foxx is local & did my magnet, I could just use him.

I fucking love the concept although I personally struggle to think of use cases in my own life that would justify the cost and effort. Very cool though.

My use case was getting into the building at work because I kept losing my tag. One quick jab, copying the ID with a Proxmark3 and problem solved. Then I installed a NFC lock at home - that I upgraded to a RFID floor mat - so I have a NFC transponder implanted in my hand, and a RFID one in my foot. Super useful to unlock the door with your arms full of groceries 🙂 Then it kind of snowballed from there and it became a bit of a hobby. But my rule is, I never implant stuff that I don't plan to use everyday to make my life easier, so all my implants are used all the time.
