It’s definitely a meme if nothing else that the cybersecurity community has a distribution of furries that would not reflect the general population’s.

Is there some study to explain why? Do they feel more safer pretending to be human sized...furry animal?

I don't have a study, but I became a furry after seeing them in tech spaces all the time while I was learning to program.

If you share biggoted opinions when people didn't ask you, you don't seem very likable so it might specifically be a you thing.

If you see the picture in the article and think it's a kink image then that says more about you than anything.

Flipper Zero is one of the handiest little pieces of tech I’ve ever owned. Being able to copy RFID keys is occasionally fantastically useful.

Is... that possible? I thought the whole point is that those were a challenge-response specifically to avoid ever them disclosing over the air the material necessary to impersonate one.

Even that process can be flawed, see: Crypto1 and all the shenanigans that followed.

Recent UL-C/AES disclosure too IIRC

I get ads for this all the time but still have no idea what I could do with it.

Logical NAND of a laptop featureset. Has things like IR, a subghz HDR, NFC+RFID, USB device support, iButton, and the like.

Some people get a lot of use out of it, but if you just saw that list of hardware and couldn't think of one area you'd apply it in, it's probably not going to be a useful device for you.

Anything you might want to do with a radio or IR device but don’t have specialized hardware for. It’s kind of a swiss knife/leatherman tool for short range communications standards.

I think of it as the browser dev tools of radio. Most people will have no use for it but it brings visibility and interactability in to an otherwise invisible world.

> why is it okay for sex fetishists to act out sex fetishes in public around kids? I don't think that's what furries generally do, nor homosexuals for that part, unless you count holding hands or kissing each other on the mouth as "acting out sex fetishes in public"? I don't think I've seen that even once, but living in a "party city", I've more than once seen drunk heterosexual couples having sex in the streets and…

Why do you think this has anything to do with the article? No one needs to endulge your bigotry.

I was replying to GP's assertion more so than just the content in the post itself.

For minor references like the image in the OP post it's whatever. I personally find furry art/culture repugnant, but I know plenty of people feel the same way about other things I like (and of which I insert references to in my projects) so I can't exactly get mad about it.

Still don't agree with the overall concerning trend towards exposing kids to (deviant) sexual material from a young age though, and doubly so that anyone who feels the same is a 'bigot'.

First time I saw a dude on all fours with nothing but boxers, a leather bondage dog mask, and a leash being held by his partner at PRIDE while children came up to pet him was jarring, to say the least.

Agreed 100% - they bricked the thing with official firmwares, and the "community" is the meanest most awful group of so-called hackers I've ever interacted with. It's more than just COA, they're actively aggressive and insular, not just on discord but reddit and less-known places too (which you can't know because you'll be banned for asking where you could find out).
