Can I re-magnetize my sensory magnets?

Magnets.

I've had sensory magnets installed since November 2016. I bought the magnets and had them installed by Steve Haworth. As of July 2020, you can now buy his magnets for installation elsewhere. https://store.stevehaworth.com/collections/magnets

Since then I have been able to notice some key differences, and in 2018 started to notice sensory loss. I have a very large magnet at home, which before was impossible to touch, and now I can rest my right magnet on it. 

While this is a brief post, I am posting my intention to remagnetise the magnets. I've attempted and gave this up previously, because the process is uncomfortable. However, I must do it in order to keep the magnetic sense. 

I'm using different sized magnets to move the sensory magnets in my finger to strengthen them and break down some of the scar tissue in my finger to let them move freely. 

Reps. This is the big magnet I'm using. I found there's two different things I'm trying
1. Running my finger across it for extended seconds
2. Swipe across multiple times in rapid succession, in different sets throughout the day

I'm hoping to do the reps until the become uncomfortable. Uncomfortable is not the most accurate word, but it's the best one I have for the time being. So far, at least I can feel my magnet pull from the large magnet. All is not lost.

Wish me luck.

Anti-Phishing Working Group Report from Q2 2023

 The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is an international coalition focused on unifying the global response to cybercrime, particularly phishing and e-mail fraud. Established in 2003, APWG brings together businesses, government entities, law enforcement, and non-governmental organizations to combat phishing, crimeware, and e-mail spoofing.They create regular reports on the nature of phishing "in the wild" and share trends in this report. You can download the report here .  I wanted to report on a more recent trend report, but at the time of writing I haven't seen a newer one. It being in the middle of 2023, I believe the report is recent enough.  I found a few areas of interest, and questioned a few pieces. There was a reported downward trend in phishing. Despite the high numbers, there was a notable downward trend in phishing by the end of the quarter, indicating a possible shift in tactics or improved countermeasures. I have doubt that phishing is occurring less,...

Print Media is Back, Baby!

 I’ve started a new project: pocket-sized zines that explain tech, hacking, and DIY tools in a way that’s quick, sharp, and easy to share. Each zine is eight pages, printed on a single sheet, folded down into a mini guide you can toss in your bag or pass along to someone curious. I was inspired by some other zines online , and some of them may interest you too! Check out them here:  Really Basic Digital Security Books Unbanned Here are the folding instructions if you need them! Sometimes cutting the paper is required.  These aren’t polished manuals — they’re  hackery field notes . The goal is to cut through jargon and give you just enough to understand, experiment, and explore. Here’s what’s out so far: AI & Your Privacy Why & How to Wardrive Make an Internet-in-a-Box There are many more coming out soon! So keep your eyes peeled. Print these and share them in your local coffee shop, local small businesses, libraries, co-working spaces, and clubs! Feel free t...
