@noiob it seems with NFC passports, they generally take a few precautions to make sure information can't easily be taken or modified (ie; Canadian passport NFC tags only carry the same information as one of the pages has, which is basic identification information + the photo, and US passports have NFC reader proof casing) but that's really odd to hear!
@noiob yeah, of course a huge issue with a lot of this sort of stuff is the fact that most software and hardware will inherently have flaws, it's just a matter of trusting it and keeping yourself as safe as possible from possible attacks.
i dabble with cybersecurity stuff a lot so i'm hoping i can sort of move that into the field of artificial limbs and augments and whatnot.
and huh, i didn't know there were passports with NFC!
@noiob i'm also aiming to get an NFC implant, which IMO has a lot more vulnerabilities (i'll probably use it for a home alarm system or something, since storing something like a debit card chip on it or anything with personal information is WAY too risky, even with encryption)
@noiob that's true! there's always a ton of risks involved but like, truth be told i don't have a lot of value on my own life, so like, if i can take a major risk and be a forerunner to help push humanity into the future, that'd be nice?
at least with the prosthetic arm my friend's designing, there aren't many vulnerabilities that aren't just physical damage (although the way it's powered is a bit tricky and risky) but of course with new technology comes a lot of risks.
@noiob that's...very unfortunate. although i've seen much weirder on youtube so i guess it shouldn't really come as a surprise that there's a 3D model vore side of youtube lmao
@noiob i'm totally kidding :P but i can't believe that's just a video that exists on it's own, but the internet is very weird.
@noiob cool you just ruined my favourite game series for me, thanks for that.
@tindall THATS ME (also i forgot this site existed for a hot minute oops)
just your local (trans)humanist biohacker girl.
