The flipper zero is like a Swiss Army knife. It’s not really great at anyone particular thing, and there are far better tools for any one thing. But you have the basics of many different tools.

[@aracnadei13]

Seems like it is better at demos than practical uses sadly. I would use it for a week, then toss it in a drawer to never been seen again.

The best tool is the one you have with you when it's needed...okay not always, but you know what I mean.

It's scary easy. A place I was renting had a little utility shed that the owner didn't have a key for. I got a set of lock picks, and raked the pins and had it unlocked in under a minute on my first attempt at picking anything. Doesn't instill confidence!

[@anteshell]

@@Sal-T You're doing something seriously wrong if you count the time it takes to rake a lock in minutes. If the lock is susceptible to raking attacks, it should open in a couple of seconds.

[@DrownedLamp9]

Would you like a psychic paper with that? They sell e-ink price tags. Seeing some under electronic shelf labels (ESL).

[@AgentTexas_]

I had bought a Sonic Screwdriver waaaay back then that was a universal tv remote! I still have it and haven't used it in a long time. It's it was really cool

[@KarltheKrazyone]

I'm out of that industry now, but when I was doing hotel AV work, I would have loved having a flipper. Dozens of TV types, and just needing to change input or volume often left me walking a show floor with cargo pockets full of remotes. The ninja remotes were cool, but it took so long to go from unit to unit. Not to mention, having a dedicated RF spectrum analyzer. One of those is still going to end up in my toolbox at some point. Love the opensource "I have a problem, I bet other people need it as well."

[@shaunm9015]

TV input in my hotel was on the wrong input, and had a locked down remote. I used my flipper and changed the input..

[@TrinityAlex]

get a phone that has an IR blaster... much better than the flipper for that purpose. You get a full remote with all the functions.

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

Personally i just the IR blaster in my phone.

[@vortex2598]

I'm a DJ (usually karaoke), and the flipper zero has been invaluable for me. Being able to control the jukeboxes and TVs, when the bartenders have lost the remotes or are too busy to help out, has been a game changer. There are certainly legitimate uses for the device besides pentesting

[@ModernRogue]

Brilliant!!! Yeah, for you it really IS like a sonic screwdriver!

[@tysongilmore659]

Not sure what the palm pilot had, but I had an IR blaster on my handspring visor. Trolled teachers in high school by changing the volume, channel, power when using the tv in class. 2001-2003 ish.

[@zerorig]

palm pilots had an IR blaster and universal remote apps. the potential for mischief even today is probably why they stopped putting them into phones.

[@kittytrail]

​@@zerorig looks like them cheeky commie rabbits from xiaomi didn't get the memo. 😋

[@coasterfest]

In the 90s we had wrist watches that had built in universal IR remotes. and yes, pretty much 'all' they were used for, was trolling teachers in schools.

[@egonmilanowski]

My Sony Clie had a universal remote app by default. It was great. I miss my Sony Clie.

[@firstsurname9893]

They were very useful, 20 years ago, for entering region-free codes on DVD players which required an IR code that wasn't on the standard remote.

[@jessthemullet]

One of the things about the "restricted frequencies" means that if you have like, a garage door opener from the mid 1990's, then it probably runs on frequencies that have since been restricted. Your old equipment is grandfathered in and not in violation of FCC stuff, but you making a new remote to open it is kind of in a grey area. So, if you use something like the unleashed firmware, your flipper can now open the garage door you own.

[@minarchisttrucker2775]

I had one of the major viral flipper tiktoks. People were freaking out saying no car will be safe. I told them a rock is a universal car opener

[@Squigdude13]

fr like for what learning how to use the device like that takes, theres a million methods to do the same thing cheaper and easier, no point in being scared of the handful of people that have one and know how to use it on the fly when theres crackheads stealing cars with coat hangers and usb cables

Good stuff. One of my early Samsung Galaxy S phones had an ir blaster and remote app on it. Kinda sad they've simplified so much.

[@JaxMerrick]

I seriously miss that feature. And it could be programmed for cable boxes and satellite controls as well.

[@mustacheboyo]

NoviiRemote

[@aaroneidinger]

Same. I can't remember the name of the one I had. You could configure various screens for your buttons. To program, you pointed your TV remote at your Palm so it could read the signal and it would send it back when you pressed the on-screen button.

[@SkellyBobRoss]

I had picked one of these up for myself. It's nice to see the spotlight.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

There were universal remote apps for the Palm Pilot! There were even universal remote apps for the HP 48 calculator's IR "data transfer" system. (I had way too much fun in class in high school with my HP 48.)

[@HaloInverse]

I used to have a PalmPilot, can vouch for this. Unfortunately (at least on mine) the IR transciever was designed to work at fairly close ranges (e.g. transferring data between two PalmPilots), and didn't have enough oomph to reliably control a TV at normal TV-watching distances, let alone TV-mischief distances. The implementation was proto-NFC, not proto-Bluetooth. You _could_ buy IR amplifiers for PalmPilots, but I never saw them for sale locally, sadly.

[@BlueishSapphire7]

always happy to see Deviant on the show! great episode :)

[@slybandit8117]

Fantastic. I love my flipper. I laughed when I saw that IR DB. I have the same one!

[@jmr]

The Flipper can actually receive an analog wireless mic and play the audio(very badly) if it were in range.

[@sethptheexe]

3:46 the people walking in towels to the right probably didn’t realize they were being filmed 😂

[@tzisorey]

I don't know specifically about the Palm Pilot, but other brands of similar devices definitely had apps that would emulate a universal remote. I had one on my Cassiopeia A10

[@Epitath6045]

These and proxmark are kinda scary capable if you live in an apartment with those tap fob keys. I dove into this when my apartment wanted 150 dollars for a spare key and in the process discovered the keys can be cloned via the doors themselves, and the keys are multi-chip with one freq used for the community area accesses and another for your apartment locks. Proxmark was fully capable of pulling both.. Have fun with that security nightmare.

[@HenryKlausEsq.]

Deviant Ollam, the cool dad we never had. (I'm mid 40's so it would be a weird family setup) I was one of the early birds to get the Flipper Zero w/ devboard and wasn't super impressed initially. Had the HackRF Porta and some other gear...then more and more cool firmware came out. It's been the little gadget that could. Carry it with me along with my Leatherman and phone everywhere. Buy one. Support good hardware.

[@Saturn2888]

I stopped using the garage door opener next on the garage. Seemed like a huge security risk; and I'm glad the one I have doesn't even work with my garage door opener :P.

[@igorgrodzki]

huzzah! he mentioned the website he doesnt mention!

[@tigerchills2079]

4:45 Looking up the FCC table; 512 - 608 MHz is for "Broadcasting" in the international table and in the US table. The FCC Rule Parts: Broadcast Radio (TV)(73), LPTV, TV Translator/Booster (74G), Low Power Auxiliary (74H).

[@tigerchills2079]

Ah.. and my personal guess, why the Flipper Zero doesn't support it: The Flipper focusses on the most interesting bands where you find most consumer hardware: on the ISM bands. That's 315 MHz and 915 MHz in the US; in Europe that's 433 MHz and 868 MHz. There is quite a gap between 468 and 868 MHz. It also skips PMR446.

[@QwertyMcQwertz]

Big ups to Deviant for wearing a Food Not Bombs shirt.

[@mbirth]

2:36 ... This is the US price BEFORE tax converted to other currencies. That doesn't make much sense as in most other countries outside the US, there's only one tax rate and products are labelled with their price incl. VAT. So, £165.55 for the UK and 197.15€ for Germany are much more realistic. (It's on Amazon for £171-£180 and 193€ ATM.)

[@klfjoat]

I can tell I'm not the audience for this at 1:55 because the Palm Pilot, Handspring, and other Palm devices with IR ports did have universal remotes available. But the guy (not Dev, he knows what's up) claims it didn't.

[@ModernRogue]

I looked for years and never found a decent one. -Brian

[@TheCaptnHammer]

I did one duck duck go search and found a forum post from 1999 as the top result. The title is “Palm Pilot is an excellent universal remote”. It discusses the pluses and minuses of why a pilot 3 was an awesome universal remote and how you can program macros on the touchscreen, etc.

[@lyfandeth]

IIRC The universal learning remote worked just fine--and then Palm changed the way they pulsed the IR port, and that broke things. But until someone broke things, it worked very nicely.

[@klfjoat]

@@ModernRogue The one universal remote app that I used allowed you to rotate the UI 90° because the Palm IR port was straight ahead but the Handspring IR port was on the side. My sis had a Handspring and when I showed her the universal remote app I used she actually hugged me. 😅

Great... another video downplaying the risks such devices pose... Buddy of mine went to a convention where somebody was messing about with one of these (...and bragging about it online, so we know FOR SURE that it was a flipper zero device doing it. Because there is always somebody that says "well, you can't prove anybody else was involved in ___ incident.") and the device kept disconnecting their monitor device from their pacemaker. Turns out, there were several other medical devices that were "glitching out" at that convention, ones that had never had such issues at any event before. Its great that you want to put on display any "useful" or "positive" uses such a device may provide, but then leaning heavily into how many websites will provide potentially hazardous or outright dangerous upgrades to such a device...it is really disappointing to see from the rogues. I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose. Deviant Ollam has a history of siding with and defending groups that would later go on to harass countless cities countrywide and even participate in the Jan 6th attack... But eventually the KZbin algorithm eventually drives all creators to partnering up with these people... its only a matter of time.
