#72Just wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out how to order. It kept saying no shipping rates found for my address. Turns out they aren't allowing US orders at the moment but they don't actually say that on the website you just get a cryptic shipping rates message. Not the greatest experience.
As someone who just ordered one to the EU, you people in the US finally get a taste of your own medicine :) I can't even recount how many times I've wanted to order something, and not until the final step before doing the payment they put up a "Sorry, we only accept orders within the US & Canada".
Well, if your fellow EU breatheren weren't such a hot spot for internet fraud.../s
Do these same fraudsters hit other EU online sites as much as they hit US based sites?

Wanna create a parcel bouncing service? One address here, one over there, charge for shipping and handling
Until the Flipper people realize that a crap ton of their devices are being shipped to the exact same EU address

#74Backed it on Kickstarter a while ago. Still waiting for mine.

#75I have one (from a few weeks ago) but haven't figured out a use for it yet (but also haven't had time to really explore).

#76Super interesting device and I'm ordering one. I found it interesting that their Careers/Jobs page is in Cyrillic. Flipper Devices is not looking for me. https://www.flipperdevices.com/jobs
The main office is still in Moscow.

Well they did a really good job then, because the physical product in my hands is well made and functional.
How do you have a physical product when they’re only taking pre-orders?
I was on the 2 year kickstarter wait. Got my order in mid -May (USA).
Later on, they had some sporadic availability, got my second one ordered and it has arrived in the last week or two.
So far it's mostly a clunky universal remote but I've started relearning C so that I can write firmware customizations.

#78Popular security researchers have claimed that the Flipper Zero website is a honeypot site.
When I tried to go to the link on this post today, my browser gave me a "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID" warning.
I have used it successfully in the past to place and receive three different orders of flippers and accessories.

#79Would something like this be a good way for a beginner to get into hardware hacking, or is it more for intermediate-advanced level hackers?
Flipper zero is more aimed at wireless hacking. Which is very cool, it's a fairly unexplored area of hacking (due to traditionally high barrier of entry), but is a subset of "hardware hacking". For general hardware hacking I'd get a pirate bus ($30), and a saelae logic clone (cheap). Maybe a nice cheap oscilloscope (but they go for $300+), but logic clone can get you mostly there.
I just got my Pokit Pro multimeter in this week and it has an oscilloscope feature. Good for up to 600V. Not currently sure I would recommend it but Ive not found anything bad on it. It is almost $200 now though.

depends on what you need scope wise. several traditional looking ones on amazon in the 150 range.
