  Previous article had to sniff the NFC password when the handle connected to the head. New article has a convenient form to generate password. How did they reverse the brush head password algorithm? https://youtu.be/EPytrn8i8sc https://youtu.be/EPytrn8i8sc "Hacking the Phillips Sonicare NFC Password" (buried three links deep)

    Is using a screen capture software expensive or difficult to do? In 2023, why would someone not use one instead of hand holding a phone to record so that every time they look away, the phone bounces and makes whatever they are showing on the screen impossible to read?

      Most people I personally know would reach for a phone to record a video. They are simply more familiar with it, and while some may be aware screen capture exists, it usually requires some setup, and knowledge of a macro.

      It’s a bit frustrating for how much time is spent showing a screen. However, making the same video with screen capture would require a good amount of editing to also show the toothbrush. Here everything seems to be in one take. I don’t blame him; as easy as it is now, editing is still time consuming.
