Agreed. This comes off as self-absorbed and entitled - 'how dare the security team not recognize my ascended morality and technical genius! Suppose an evil hacker does plan to disrupt the event - the only thing that stops a bad guy with a Flipper Zero is a good guy with a Raspberry Pi running wireshark!'
- dfxm12 10mo agoAdafruit is headquartered in New York and selling raspberry pi is a big part of their business. Reading this as self absorbed or entitled is disingenuous. They're worried about their business & asking why these brand names are singled out is a legitimate question.
- apetresc 10mo agoLiterally not a single prospective RPi customer would have even known Mamdani banned them from his inauguration party if Adafruit hadn't gone out of their way to point it out. And literally not a single one of those prospective customers would have cared, similarly to how nobody cares that "strollers" are also banned. This is the stupidest thing to get mock-offended by.

- philistine 10mo agoYou know, dynamite is a brand name. Sometimes for security's sake it's easier to call something what everybody calls it. Small-scale user programmable portable radios does not convey what Flipper Zero does.
- judahmeek 10mo agoIf the intent is to ban that entire category, then that should be explicit for clarity 's sake.
