Wish I could buy one now
kekpizza@reddit
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t do anything the flipper zero does. It’s a completely different product

They make that pretty clear in their announcement on their blog. The Flipper One is not an upgrade or replacement for Flipper Zero. They are different products with different goals and features.
narwi@reddit (OP)
Same.
SomeoneBritish@reddit
Anyone got any ideas for what practical purposes these new features could be used for in the real world without breaking the law?
UpsetKoalaBear@reddit
These type of devices remind me a lot of the BBC Micro:dot and the Raspberry Pi’s (original) goal.
It’s a way of getting people, especially children, into learning and tinkering.
Unfortunately, most kids are rebellious in some way. So advertising your product as something that lets you bypass security or whatever is going to appeal to them.
If it helps kids get into learning about how things work, then maybe it’s a net benefit to society. It depends, really.
Aggeloz@reddit
aint no kid gonna pay 300 euros to buy something like this lmao
JapariParkRanger@reddit
Kids (or their parents) are buying VR headsets, dude.
Aggeloz@reddit
Big difference between a VR headset and a flipper zero. It will take one google search for a parent to not allow their kid to get something like this
JapariParkRanger@reddit
You think a parent is going to Google something before buying it for their kid?
Flyinmanm@reddit
I mean yeah, it's the first thing I did when my kid said he wanted a VR headset, even if it's just to check cost.
JapariParkRanger@reddit
You are an unfortunate exception to how the majority of parenting is handled in English speaking countries today.
Flyinmanm@reddit
I mean it was computer hardware? You think I was gonna miss out a chance to look up tech?
zakats@reddit
Parents are one of the most irresponsible demographics in the modern era, how do you think they became parents in the first place?

Really, having children in this shithole of a timeline? Nah, most of them are utterly ignorant and/or plain goofy. We're in the Idiocracy universe.
Flyinmanm@reddit
In hindsight having kids does seem financially very irresponsible.
Should have just worked myself into extinction. Much cheaper.
Exciting-Ad-5705@reddit
Yeah because those are just like buying Timmy a PlayStation or Nintendo. $300 for a tool is a bit steep
UpsetKoalaBear@reddit
If you can sell it as a “learning tool” then it would probably be easier to convince them.
Gullible_Goose@reddit
I think there’s plenty of neat legitimate uses like using it as a wallet or whatever, but most of them are either radio hobbyist stuff or just make you look like a nerd lol
UmaThurmish@reddit
who cares? when the people that make the law break it and see no punishment.
SomeoneBritish@reddit
Very helpful reply. Thank you.
UmaThurmish@reddit
im just being realistic. obviously, people should stick to morals, but, honestly, idgaf about "technically" breaking law if its not morally wrong.
Gullible_Goose@reddit
One of the most “reddit” comments a I’ve seen in a while. Zero critical thought on display, just “rich people bad”? There are plenty of ways the Flipper Zero can be used immorally. Trespassing, theft, fraud, etc.
Unless you think skimming someone’s credit card is “sticking it to the man”.
berserkuh@reddit
You say that but the people making the laws that break them are breaking it against us (common people), whereas the common use cases for this device are also for breaking the law against us (common people).
There's a good argument for morality which you're just missing
narwi@reddit (OP)
It is entirely legal to do red teaming everywhere as long as : a) it is your own network or b) you have permission from the owner. Also it does have applications other than *acking.
JoeDawson8@reddit
Why would you censor ‘hacking’ ?
narwi@reddit (OP)
It was a wildcard, not censoring, covering both hacking and cracking.
binarypie@reddit
making money
UsernameIsTaken45@reddit
I actually can’t think of anything beyond white hat stuff and learning. It can be a raspberrypi competitor also with a high price tag. Or something a hobbyist would love to have.
UpsetKoalaBear@reddit
This just seems like Flipper is trying to compete closer to something like the Raspberry Pi based devices out there like ClockworkPI uConsole which can add shit like GPIO via the expansion port.
narwi@reddit (OP)
to an extent, sure.
jc-from-sin@reddit
OH, this is real? I thought it was a photoshop from 8chan.
