And here I am just using my flipper zero to turn my fan on and off since the remote that came with it sucks.
Same. This whole time I could be driving a new car each day. What a waste.
I use it at work to clone a customer's proximity card when I work in their building so they don't have to leave me theirs to get around. The one legitimate use I found.
I guess being able to trigger the customer service announcement without having to find a button in a store is nice.
That's ... not a legitimate use.
That's probably debatable, if they have permission. They probably shouldn't have been given permission, but that's a separate issue
I usually do it when we take over a customer's access control system and we have half their doors on the new system and half in the old still and are migrating them over. I'm an electronic security tech, this is what I do for a living.
seems legit to me…
If you're using Crowley to support what's legitimate, you're gonna have problems.
that’s the only thing i use from him…
You don’t do sex rituals to summon the antichrist? Lame.
I like to hijack the robot vacuum when I go to DnD and ring my parents doorbell when I visit.
I tried deciphering this sentence with Dungeons'n'Dragons and Do Not Disturb and neither makes sense
I'm fond of skipping Kid Rock songs on the local dive bar's touchtunes.
I would let all the power go to my head with that one. Not that I go outside, let alone to bars.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, unless you want to hear Kid Rock butcher Sweet Home Alabama (which itself butchered Werewolves of London, and was only still good because you can hear Van Zandt drop his donuts, goddamn, in the back of the track) for the fourth time tonight.
Didn’t Sweet home Alabama precede Werewolves of London? Also, what does “drop his donuts” mean in this context?
Yes, which is why it's weird they were able to steal it, gol'dang time travelers. No I wasn't mistaken, time travelers. No I'm not bias because Warren Zevon rules, I said time travelers.
"Drop his donuts" means his dough circles fell off a table during the studio recording. You can hear him say "my donuts! Goddamn!" in the back of the track, it's hilarious.
lol I’ll have to listen for that—I thought it might be some new slang you kids were using that I was unaware of

Oh yeah, never understood what he was saying 😂
