I have a Flipper Zero and I've used it... occasionally. Like that one time controlling the Taylor Swift Eras tour wristbands: https://blog.jgc.org/2024/05/controlling-taylor-swift-eras-t... but it's mostly sat around being an odd device. I duplicated a couple of RFID things, used the IR for some stuff, and once in a while used the radio receiver, but mostly it looks pretty. I'm not sure what I'd do with a Flipper One…

I've been happy with my Zero, cloned some friends apartment building door fobs, and using it for missing remotes for TV's and fans. But that damn dolphin is always angry with me for not using it enough.

You can turn that off in the settings.

I love my Flipper Zero, even though I have barely used it much. But I'm much more excited for the busy.bar which I think is from the same team. I'm hoping that gets ready to ship soon!

I used it to scan my cat's microchips which let me catch that my recent adoption had the wrong number registered and correct it. Today I used my swiss army knife for the first time in a year because I needed a narrow flathead in a pinch. Not all tools need to be used everyday. I can't remember the last time I used my 3/8" wrench.

Huh, now I feel like I should scan my dog.

Thank you.

Heh... I used Flipper Zero to clone RFID tags for all the neighbors to T5577 rings, pins, sticky pads and whatever not for our gated community. If you are adventurous, many ski stations have low-tech cards as well, although they also tend to have human controllers once in a while. And, finally, kids like running around with Flipper Zero opening power taps on Teslas.

I was skiing in Mammoth a few months ago and one day they disabled the automated readers on all the lifts and began manually checking the RFID lift ticket/cards. I suspected somebody had cloned a pass to save money for their group.

> And, finally, kids like running around with Flipper Zero opening power taps on Teslas. one time I parked in a tesla near to a bank of superchargers. every time someone hooked up their car to charge (pressing the button on the charging cable), my charge port would swing open. every minute or two...

A friend of mine has a HackRF in his car continuously transmitting the charge-port-open command. Sometimes he sends me videos of the "salutes" he gets from them.

They are confiscated when they notice.

I need evidence. I've been through TSA lots of times with mine and taking it on transcontinental flights. No one's ever cared. Last year I flew to Def Con with a Mesthtastic radio and a Raspberry Pi server strapped to my backpack, complete with cabling, and no one batted an eye. There's no regulation against carrying one around with you, including on flights.

Likewise, I've flown more in the last year than in the decade prior and every single leg my Flipper has been in the side pocket of my backpack. Never once has it received even a second look from the TSA, including also DEF CON.

I used it almost exclusively to give my nieces virtual amiibos when I come over to their house

Display connected to the microcontroller instead of the Linux SoC is an interesting choice Actually, putting all of this powerful hardware into a custom aluminum enclosure with gorilla glass and then using a 6-bit low resolution grayscale display is a weird choice. I guess they were going for a certain grayscale low-fi vibe? The "needs verification" and "needs clarification" lines are weird. Like they asked someone (…

"needs clarification" looks like a pretty normal hardware design process as the details are finalised.
