This article convinced me to buy a flipper (I've been debating it for years). It's a super useful item that is absolutely going to get banned/hamstrung any day now for putting too much power into people's hands under the guise of "public safety".
I want it because it's so easy to use. I'm no hacker, but with a tool as convenient as this I'm sure I can piece some useful hacks together.
Canada already banned it. Wish I'd got one sooner
Pretty sure that ban was walked back?
It was indeed. My apologies. I guess the article walking back the ban didn't get as much traction as the one banning it.
No apologies needed. Although, ordering one before they reban it again may or may not be something to consider.
