Man! These guys are literally recreating what made using Symbian a pain to deal with and what sparked its downfall. Even if it was somewhat warranted due to the legitimate malware but atleast you could still run Java and Flash apps with permissions just fine. Now the last reason to run android is basically disappearing and I’m kinda glad I degoogled my latest pixel as of late. But like I kinda also hate that we are moving into an era where you cannot even control what apps on your mobile device right now outright. It was already bad enough with the automatic opening of Google Play for sideloaded apps and now its only to get worse from there. Genuinely speaking of android when it first came out was a breath of fresh air compared to symbian and iOS. It’s kinda a shame that now it’s losing what made it great to begin with.

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.

Yeah exactly no root access required.

Yes let me stalk someone to steal their car temporarily. Honestly this thing is kinda a toy on par with my rooted LG V20 with its IR blaster and USB C port that I can plug anything into or my HP stream with a software defined radio I played around with. These people are kinda making software for the wrong type of devices to be frank with ya and I cannot wait until someone makes some weird app and USB C dongle for an android phone to replace the Flipper Zero with. You don’t even need to have root access for this as apps can just take over the USB port anyway on your phone.
