I posted this in part because I love the idea and because today is the anniversary of the birth of Douglas Adams. Edit: said death meant birth.

It's actually his birthday. He died on 11 May 2001.

Interesting. Where I can find more information about reading RFID chips?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIFARE#Security_of_MIFARE_Clas... seems to be a good start.

NXP has SDKs and mobile apps for it: https://www.mifare.net/en/products/tools/

There's also different kinds, for environments with high security demands you're not supposed to use DESfire cards, not Ultralight: https://www.mifare.net/en/products/chip-card-ics/

RFID is definitely one of the cooler things that exist on the practical/futuristic feeling matrix. Really wish I had some need for one
