It's probably a flipper zero. There is a Bluetooth iOS spamming script which can cause the devices to freeze or crash.

    This looked to me like a useless sed substitution. But, apparently, typing "{S /con/con" in an AOL chat blue-screened Windows participants that had their AOL sounds turned on. http://mazur-archives.s3.amazonaws.com/aol-files/breaches/con2k.htm http://mazur-archives.s3.amazonaws.com/aol-files/breaches/co...

  I remember turning off hallway TVs in school with a visor handspring and an IR app.

    I had an android tablet with an IR blaster in it (the Sony tablet s) and had endless fun putting Macs with the remote receiver to sleep. Hold down the play button like on an iPod and people’s laptops would just go to sleep while they were using them.

Wow, what a funky little device! Thanks for the lead, I might have to pick up one of these things. It looks good for hacking but is it hackable itself? An exposed JTAG port would have this thing shipping to my home right now.

  The firmware is open source, and third party software already exists Ex: https://github.com/Flipper-XFW/Xtreme-Firmware https://github.com/Flipper-XFW/Xtreme-Firmware

  Picked one up for Christmas and have already been having a blast with it today. Yes, it is supremely hackable, try awesome-flipperzero [1] as a starting point. The iOS exploit discussed here is already patched as of a week or two ago, fwiw. [1] https://github.com/djsime1/awesome-flipperzero https://github.com/djsime1/awesome-flipperzero

    Ok this is the silliest nitpick but like... The personality/emotionality of the flipper zero has been the biggest thing stopping me from using mine more. Like, I classify myself as an empath, and it's physically painful to think about using it and having to face the dolphin's sad face if it's been a while. Looks like I need to hack mine to not get sad when I don't use it. Digital antidepressants, as it were...
    - felurx 3y ago
      You could use a custom firmware that allows asset packs, and just remove/replace either the sad animations or just all of them.
    - xnzakg 3y ago
      Obviously the best option is to just use it regularly enough that the dolphin doesn't get sad!

Supposedly the most recent updates stop that.

It's also possible via something way cheaper, like an ESP32 (~US$1.5), e.g. using https://github.com/ckcr4lyf/EvilAppleJuice-ESP32 https://github.com/ckcr4lyf/EvilAppleJuice-ESP32 (Disclaimer: I am the author)
- wkat4242 3y ago
  Makes sense because the flipper zero basically is an esp32 with a display and a few other radios. I wonder if it could also be done with a simple android app.
