Comment on Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars
xthexder@l.sw0.com 3 days agoI think you’re missing the point this article is trying to make… It’s not an advertisement for Flipper Zero, it’s a scare piece implyoing the devices’ existence is bad

Honestly yeah that does also kinda piss me off because my phone or laptop can essentially already do the same stuff. Like this toy is basically getting mixed up as some actual hacking tool while in reality it’s just a little dinky device that you can do cool things with. Like control your TV or have it shout back RF at things. The entire main purpose of this device is to serve as a digital pet to maintain which I think is cute and charming. I’m probably definitely going to buy one in the future to piss off my local government.

Tbh the point isn’t really the tamagotchi, it’s all the other stuff it can do (like control your TV lmao, among other things.)
In fact most people immediately ditch the kneecapped OFW for something like momentum that lets you control the dolphin meter/your levels at will, and even use different asset packs or create your own animations (like me! I stole them from .gifs sure but I turned them into flipper anims!)
