They’re finally taking more orders, didn’t bite during the initial wave but might pick one up

Seems neat

I read through the What Is It page and.... is there even a practical use case that isn't illegal?

It can change the channel on your tv

Grew up with that show as a kid.

I didn't like it but back then you watched what was on when you were allowed.

Theme song was kinda catchy though.



There was a dolphin that decided to stay in an Irish bay "Fungie", tourist boats always went out and he'd follow them and show off. Marked some off the map town as a destination. Managed to take the tour as a kid.

Then one day, he didn't show up. Likely dead or moved on but he was there for decades. Now that town is forgotten. It made national news.

I have no idea what this thing is. It looks like it could be used to break into peoples houses or something.

Came to post Dolphin images , but not the Flipper I remember.

Could be, that's the selling point.

Next door uses computer access to devices?

Well ...

It's branded as fine but can absolutely be used maliciously.

You can open your garage door! Can also hack other things if you're scum.

Not that that was not possible before. Kali Linux for example. This is nothing new.

Now people with no IT knowledge can get hacked! And with a tiny device that looks like a Tamaghoci.

It's full of shit, shall be patched immediately. Still scary though the amount you have to be alert and family might not be.

Still lots of PPL with no IT knowledge.

I thought this was about the tv show.

Even the nerds on hackernews don't care about this thing.

I like them.

The only flipping I am interested in is flipping chicks from missionary position into prone bone.

Disappointed about this thread not being about Flipper on VHS

4/10

Can't imagine this would be very useful. It's not gonna open anything but old garage doors.

This thing, from what I can tell, only use case is just a universal garage door opener and potential radio jammer in 300-928Mhz range. Also could open older car models with it. Either way seems like a scam made for people that think they're super cool hackers.

Also it functions as a 2FA USB Key, not that impressive. How they got 4.8M in Kickstarter funding is absolutely fucking absurd.

Garage doors use rolling codes so it won't work as a garage door opener.

How about I give you the flipper....and you give me my phone call?

 

[Mistake]

I'll see how it performs and keep an eye on their forums before grabbing one
