Defcon '26 badges (piefed.zip)

Hey, is anyone associated Defcon '26 in here? I read with fascination about this year's badge, and I want one. I'm not able to attend, and TBH it would be wasted on me - it's not my field, or even my particular area of interest - but the technology in the badge looks fantastic and widely useful. Maybe Huang will sell the boards with the chip in the future, but have the Defcon organizers thought about making the detachable part of the badge available to the general public? The badges are configurable to represent special groups - VIPs, speakers, attendees ... maybe sell a badge for non-attendee collectors?

It's a long shot, but I thought it was worth asking the question.

My search for a defcon community came up empty, and I know privacy isn't exactly apropos for my Q but I guess the overlap is pretty large.

It was a lot of fun. I didn't see a lot of it because I went to a bunch of talks, but the villages I went to were awesome. I also came home with a lot of new toys. The goons were all super nice as well, which I was worried about since I heard they have been rude in the past.

If you go, have a budget in mind!
