I could care less about cars, but this thing has hacked glucose pumps and led to a St Jude's pacemaker recall, so fuck em. People can have their toys back after manufacturers of literally everything are better regulated. Until then, it's a weapon.
it can't do anything a rooted phone can't.
most features don't even require root (like android allows direct control over the ir blaster)
Then why weren't glucose pumps and pacemakers being targeted by phones before these Flipper Zero started trending?
Who says they weren't?
I did, just now, are you going to argue my point or not?
It's not my job to prove your statement correct. That's not how debate works. It's your claim, it's your responsibility to underpin it.
I'm not here to present my thesis, and even if I were then proving something doesn't exist would be a stupid waste of time as absence of evidence is not itself evidence. I've already presented multiple specific breaches caused after the availability of Flipper Zero. You have Zero legs to stand on in this argument.
