Tbf, there is a small gorup of DIY bio-hackers somewhere out there. I saw a doc about it a few years ago. Nothing like super major but like installing an NFC chip in a hand and stuff.
Not an electrician but I have one of these. While I have used it to troubleshoot electrical problems on occasion (eg- this thing doesn’t have a power LED but I can tell it’s getting power), it’s far more useful for locating and holding small screws. The field sensing bit is somewhat hit and miss. Mine works on microwave ovens, most transformers, some models of anti-theft gate, an electric tram once or twice, and on one occasion, a laptop WiFi card.
What compelled you do get this and what’s the procedure for getting it put in? Has it ever caused any problems? Was it difficult to get used to? What does it feel like when you feel the magnetic fields?
Wheres my damn cyberware? Oh neuralink? Fuck no

My favorite was a little magnet in your ring fingertip that let you “feel” magnetic fields.
I wouldn’t do it, but it sounded kinda nifty.
That would be hell if you were a secretary or whatever and used paperclips a lot.
Probably useful for an electrician tho

Cool, can we turn this into an ama? Like I’m genuinely curious about some stuff!
Yeah, for sure. I don’t mind answering questions about it.
