That's old news. Here's an article from 2006:

A Sixth Sense for a Wired World:

"What if, seconds before your laptop began stalling, you could feel the hard drive
spin up under the load? Or you could tell if an electrical cord was live before you
touched it? For the few people who have rare earth magnets implanted in their
fingers, these are among the reported effects -- a finger that feels electromagnetic
fields along with the normal sense of touch."
