I’ve never had a problem. I have an iphone and it’s never gotten corrupted, and thumb drives are always fine. I haven’t tried rubbing my fingers all over one of the disk drives in my computer though
I see, while we are at, how do you precive magnetic fields? e.g. stretching of the skin. I assume the magnet is located between your skin and your fingers fat pad. I’m wondering since Bakkot reports that rings seems to be a lot less sensitive, I want to know what makes putting it under the skin any diffident.
Interesting, do you know if that is from the push/pull from the magnet on your nerve or if it is a current generated as you move your finger in a magnetic field or something?
I think it’s probably the first one. Generated fields feel like buzzing and permanent magnets just feel like a pull, so I think the “buzz” is an effect of the field moving.

it mainly feels like a buzzing. It’s right up against then never that goes into your fingertip.
Exclaimer: feel free to ignore my questions.

Credit to Bakkot for having tried out and reported on magnetic rings, not me.
Wouups—FIXED—thanks for pointing that out!
