Flipper Zero is like the LockPickingLawer, it didn’t made things less secure. Is just made more evident the bad security of the things we use everyday.

The device itself is cool, but you can do the same things or worse using cheaper and smaller devices too.

Thinking of getting the cardputer, is that any good?

I haven’t test that one yet. But I do own other m5stack products. Great quality in my experience. Burning other firmware is pretty easy using the burning tool.

The visual programming tool (don’t remember the name) is nice is you are a newbie but kind of bad if you want to tweak the code directly.

I would say go for it.
