Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wanna create a parcel bouncing service? One address here, one over there, charge for shipping and handling

We'd get a bulk discount on shipping sending containers of goods. But the sorting and re shipping sounds like Amazon level logistics

We will be a success if we have that scale of problems :)

I wonder why they're only selling in Europe? Has shipping to the USA from Europe become a pain and not worth it?

Likely because the company is Russian.

Just 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.

Probably not easy taking orders on a Russian website from the US right now?

I have just received mine (kickstarter backer, EU based) and am impressed by the build quality. I still need to play with alternative firmware etc and found a very naive cloning of my access badge did not work, most likely due to some additional security in place. Had to check though after I picked up an SD card on my way to the office.

Curious to see what uses I can find for this, most likely it will end up in a drawer sooner rather than later, but I can see this be very useful on holidays ;)

Is it me or are the comments all complete spam? The top three all say the same thing, roughly, "well built / good build quality / impressed with build, etc".

Is this the same device I saw in reports about nerds trolling Tesla owners by opening their charging ports?

Yep, there are some videos of people using it to open the charging ports. I found the wireless "commands" (or whatever the correct terminology for it is) on github a while back before I received mine, but haven't gotten around to testing it out on local teslas here

Never seen such spam on HN. Thought we had that whipped.

I'm guessing this thing wouldn't work for emulating FeliCa cards?

e: it can read but can't yet emulate, given how niche it is outside of JP I doubt it'll ever support it.

Wonder how hard it would be to pair it with two 1 GBit/s ethernet controllers, high speed storage and an FPGA with an embedded SoC. Think of something like "embed it between two network devices and mirror their traffic through a wifi AP".

Bought it anyway in the hope of someone more talented than me manages to make an expansion board :D
