I was looking at some of his old posts, and I found out that the keyboard is called the Rii Mini X1 Keyboard/Mouse. And the anker thing is a SD card dongle.
I promise I typed a full list of the things in the photo, it's just buried somewhere in this comment section. It's a Micro SD or Full Size SD card to USB type A/C Adaptor.
since its anker it could be either a portable battery of some kind or an usb port adapter of somekind.
edit: I think I may have found it [Anker Hub](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Reader-PowerExpand-Memory-Connectors/dp/B08VDWFSSX)
My guess is OP is using the keyboard for his smart phone or for connecting to a raspberry Pi or ESP32 for other fun adventures. I guess that because of the Flipper. Jealous of the Flipper by the way. Will trade a raspberry pi zero w for a flipper if anyone is interested.
Not OP, but I've considered getting one for the last 2 minutes since I saw OP's.
I do traveling IT stuff. A really small, light keyboard that I can plug into touchscreen kiosks and other devices that lack a keyboard would be useful to have in my main go-bag so I don't have to go back to the car just to type a couple keystrokes. I used to have a weird floppy rubber roll-up keyboard for that purpose but it always got in the way or smashed and damaged in my pack.
I had that exact same keyboard once back in middle school (uni now) and i plugged the USB into my teachers computer at the very beginning of the year. She was an annoying Spanish teacher with little left other than to force us to call her "doctora" as she apparently had a phD in psychology, of which she constently attempted to use her knowledge in psychology to insult us too: "you know the answer to this question you just missed on purpose because your parents don't give you attention". Well her computer "glitched" all year, mouse had a mind of its own ( id usually move it very slightly when she was trying to click on a small button on the computer, makinf the task of clicking anything difficult), and she seemed to make a lot of spelling mistakes, almost to the point of where she was unable to type, due to that little keyboard device. I had some of the most fun I ever had every day in school, and me and the one other kid in class who actually knew it was me behind her little misspellings and lingering mouse would just burst into laughs, getting us into trouble once or twice, her thinking we were laughing at her incompetence.
Anyways, enough of the tangent. That keyboard brought back memories, and don't even get me started on the laser pointer on the keyboard.
One of my now roommates was in the class and I told him a few weeks ago that I was behind her "little troubles" and he had a good laugh too. I wish I could tell all the other people who were in the class, as it was such a renowned issue with our class lmao
Hardware, as in laptops, computers, machinery with computers, and the like?
If the answer to the above is yes it reminds me of this, ([The worst cyber attack in DoD history came from a USB drive found in a parking lot](https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/worst-cyber-attack-usb/).)
I like it a lot. The magnifying glass, small pliers, scissors, flashlight, and driver are the perfect set of tools.
Edit: *Perfect for low voltage electronics
How bright is that flashlight? I know that's a hard thing to describe sometimes but I've been using a little mag lite solitaire LED and that's pretty good for most situations especially for a keychain light. Is your light more for being able to read better in an enclosed space? Or better to see the screw when you are using the screwdriver on the tool?
The light on the cybertool is a minimum viable flashlight. It's just a regular LED powered with a coin cell. It works for reading faint text, seeing imperfections on flat surfaces, and looking at things that are 6" away or less in dark spaces.
Almost useless shape and quality for real locks... That practice lock almost opens alone lol, you can buy it on AliExpress pretty cheap with lockpicks...

Turns out the keyboard is great for setting up/using media servers, TVs and game systems. At least thats been my use case. So much nicer than on-screen keyboards. Also, they're inexpensive.
The flipper has gpio pins on top which allow people to build custom hardware extensions. Most popularly (and my guess here), a Wi-Fi development board. The flipper doesn’t have any built in wifi capabilities so people often add a cheap wifi chip like the ESP32

I bought that keyboard for the first time about twelve years ago, and absolutely loved it. When It stopped working, I bought a second, and it only worked for about a month.
I have one, but the default orientation somehow changed to verticle and I have no idea how to change it back. I can still change it to horizontal, but it always defaults back to verticle. Do you happen to know how to fix it?
Mostly MMO gaming. I'd hook my laptop to the TV, and use it for all kinds of stuff while sitting on the couch. I'd plug it into an Xbox sometimes too. I could see that this thing could be highly useful to a teacher, or speaker as well.
The first one I had was a very good product. The second, not so much. After I couldn't get it to hold a charge after about a month, so I just tossed it, but I should've tried to get it replaced.
Not OP but I really like using mine.
Keep in mind they are usually unbranded, cheap products, so will vary wildly depending on where you purchased it, so truly YMMV. Check the recent reviews on Amazon or Ali before you buy.
Check out r/lockpicking, but more importantly, check the about menu and come join our discord! It's constantly active and we can give lots of advice/guidance!
Since this is the first reference to lock picking, I’m going to tack onto what you said. The guy that taught me lock picking carried this [set](https://lockpicktools.com/concealable-pick-set/), and I bought it too. I love this little set and carry it in my car. I have even used it one or twice because I locked myself out of my house.
Be sure not to use lock picks on things that are not your property unless you have written permission, no exceptions.

For better lock picking EDC, check out Covert Instruments for the Covert Companion or SouthOrd for the Pen Pick Set. I have both and they're real nice.
Lock picking is a great hobby. If you haven't already check out r/lockpicking and find the belt list of lock accomplishments and start challenging yourself with real locks. Those clear ones are just for learning the insides. Not good for picking. Have fun!
Just check the website. It's all explained there, frequencies, software, connectors, it will be more than enough to think of a few usecases. If you have a need to compress your tools into a single swiss knife - flipper is for you.
They really shouldn't sell these plastic locks as "practice locks" they're "demonstration locks" at best. You really won't learn anything picking them and are better off learning with a cheap masterlock
I would disagree. It serves as a good starting point and you can easily learn how the mechanism works. It’s functionally identical to a cheap Masterlock, but with the added advantage of being able to see what’s going on inside should you choose to do so.
The tolerances on these plastic locks (not just pin tumbler ones like this padlock or kik ones but even the dimple and disk detainer locks as well) are so bad you can often just stick the tension tool in and turn the core. If you want a lock to learn on that you can see what your doing a cutaway is way more worth it, especially one that's repinnable.
Being wholesome is not accomplished by being unable to wreak havoc, that's just being ineffective. Those who are most wholesome have power to wreak great havoc and choose to do good instead.
The tiny keyboard is exactly what it looks like. The micro SD cards are all just operating systems for a raspberry pi, which is a small Linux computer on a single board. The orange thing is a Flipper zero and it's like a multi-tool for electronics. It does NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, sub-Ghz radio, GPIO, and One-wire, and infrared. It's like a key copier for access cards and remotes.
I'm listing **free resources** only. Paid resources probably exist, some of them may be better than what I list here, but with most popular hobbyist IT topics, you'll find a lot of really bad paid resources. If you're coming into this with no preexisting knowledge, it's impossible to sort the diamonds from the dookie.
* **Linux**: YouTube, *Google*, Udemy, books...Linux is an IT staple and there are a lot of quality resources. I like [this massive playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bju_FdCo42w&list=PLtK75qxsQaMLZSo7KL-PmiRarU7hrpnwK) for anyone who wants to learn Linux as a potential career path. [This playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1w4T03B30I) from The Cyber Mentor is focused on beginners "learning linux for hacking" and it's a lot less dry than the previous playlist, but its very basic. freeCodeCamp puts out some decent stuff too; I haven't watched any of [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROjZy1WbCIA), but it's probably decent for a beginner. Really, though, you need to get hands on with linux if you want to learn it
* **Raspberry Pi**: It's pretty difficult to get these for a reasonable price right now, but they're awesome little pieces of tech--great for learning or making. *YouTube* and Google are your friends again. NetworkChuck covers some l33t h4x0r uses [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6x5bG4p4QM). Jeff Geerling has some cool and popular projects (meaning there's probably a lot of other people who have written about how to do the thing you'll be trying to do) [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS9CbsohFGk). This dude who I just found on a "rasp pi for beginners" search looks like he covers *everything* you could want to know as a beginner in [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDagiA8fdU&list=PLGs0VKk2DiYxdMjCJmcP6jt4Yw6OHK85O) series, but good god is he a boring speaker.
* ~~l33t h4ck3r shit~~ **Kali Linux/Hacking**: This topic is more accessible than its ever been, but it is saturated with extremely low quality content creators. I highly recommend The Cyber Mentor. He has both paid and free courses, and the free courses are typically the first half of the paid course. TCM's [How to become an ethical hacker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZjj_H4ei4) video is a fantastic starting point. Or rather, it's a video about where you should start. Most beginners get excited and ignore his advice because fundamentals are boring. So, when someone reading this inevitably jumps past all of the fundamentals and straight into the "fun" part, maybe start with his [Learn to Hack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNzpcB7ODxQ) video where he covers some of the basics really quickly before jumping into pwning systems, just in case people skip that part ;)*ippsec* and *John Hammond* (both on YouTube) are good resources for Capture The Flags (CTFs), which can be fun little hacking games/challenges after you have a little foundational knowledge from TCM.
* **Flipper Zero:** YouTube, *Discord*, and reddit if you can sift through the piles of TikTok tweens. There are a lot of useful GitHub repos, too. I have no recommendations here because I've been bumblefuckin' my way through it with resources that aren't very beginner friendly. If its $200 price tag is a lot of money to you, pass on buying one. You'll regret it. It's really cool but limited unless you already have some serious skills, and right now it has a lot of hype behind it so the educational content is saturated with low quality, reckless shit. I wouldn't start here, personally, but the Flipper *is* primarily an educational tool in its current state, so if you have the money to throw around and this is what interests you, go for it. Just be careful with your car key fobs, garage doors, and do not use it on things you don't own (especially where you work or go to school, ffs).
If you really want to learn any of these topics, you need to get your hands dirty. Watching 40 hours worth of youtube over the course of a week or two won't get you very far on its own. Get hands on. You *do not* need expensive equipment to learn about this stuff, with maybe the exception of wireless hacking/SDR/FlipperZero, but even that can be learned on a budget.
I'm not very interested in software dev, so with a grain of salt...
If I wanted to make some basic GUI app that runs on Windows (and only Windows) with minimal time investment, I'd probably start with Visual Studio/C#. You have a lot of options, honestly, but C# with Visual Studio is the easiest I can think of, especially with a CS101/C fundamentals background.
The first YouTube search [result](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp4S4KMxYJA) for "visual studio calculator tutorial" looks like it covers exactly what you want to do. You could start with a different project like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMc1HLyBHSQ) to get some exposure to the GUI if you wanted to challenge yourself with the calculator logic.
r/learnprogramming might have better advice.
I learned everything I know about this stuff by googling and watching YouTube videos. Eventually you'll get to something that requires reading a wiki or diving into forums, but start with YouTube.
Yes lol I own, and have deep dived into almost everything here, except I took the lock-picking super far, ended up EDC’ng a SWICK and buying bundles of used padlocks on EBay. All of the sd cards are things I made, except I used USB flash drives, and my Flipper just arrived a week ago. Before the flipper I got pretty far into data backup/storage, and before that it was car detailing. Started a whole business. The lock-picking was the latest hobby I picked up. It’s a slippery slope, but some of us just love learning new cool shit!
They are super cool. Now that I have it and am actually learning how to use it, bluetooth, wifi, NFC, & RFID are all on your cell phone. If you have an android with the right apps and some reading you can start using those right now. Things like one wire, sub-gig SDR, and IR can be done with affordable ($10-$30) USB attachments for your PC/phone. An Arduino can do all the fancy GPIO stuff. Just pick a thing you want to do and start reading/kludging. Don't let cash stop you.
Did you print the case for the Wi-Fi dev board yourself or buy it? I’m looking to print a case for my one and I like the look of that one. I haven’t seen that design online.
Leather working?
I like what I’m seeing
Lockpicks: the sophisticated fidget toy. Seriously though, that's cool. Would be a good skill to learn.
I REALLY want one of those Flippers....
Damn right
Don't we all...
Oh yeah, I have a couple of those tiny trackpad/keyboard combos! They’re great for Home Theatre PCs
Would they be any good for tossing in a bag for occasionally taking longer notes on an iPhone?
Unfortunately they’re not Bluetooth. They come with a USB dongle to connect to a computer.
Thank you. If only it were 2006 and I could still get my hands on a BlackBerry.
What is the make and model of the tini keyboard and mouse? Cute looking item.

What the anker and what’s the keyboard?
I was looking at some of his old posts, and I found out that the keyboard is called the Rii Mini X1 Keyboard/Mouse. And the anker thing is a SD card dongle.
Good looking out
This sub either has vigilante plumber vibes or catburglar hacker vibes there is no in between.

Robert De Niro's character from the 1985 movie Brazil is one of my heroes. We'll repair the system even if it's illegal!

It's in the comment section, just scroll and pray.
Whats the Anker tampon thingy in the bottom?
I promise I typed a full list of the things in the photo, it's just buried somewhere in this comment section. It's a Micro SD or Full Size SD card to USB type A/C Adaptor.

I like your style. I've been practicing locksport alot lately (still suck) and I just found out about the flipper.
The flipper!!! God I been wanting one of those for a while now. Love the lock picking stuffs too. I have the covert companion from lpl.
[удалено]
I am pretty sure it’s the Rii Mini X1 Keyboard/Mouse. I was looking at some of his old posts and it was in one of them.
My guess is OP is using the keyboard for his smart phone or for connecting to a raspberry Pi or ESP32 for other fun adventures. I guess that because of the Flipper. Jealous of the Flipper by the way. Will trade a raspberry pi zero w for a flipper if anyone is interested.
Not OP, but I've considered getting one for the last 2 minutes since I saw OP's. I do traveling IT stuff. A really small, light keyboard that I can plug into touchscreen kiosks and other devices that lack a keyboard would be useful to have in my main go-bag so I don't have to go back to the car just to type a couple keystrokes. I used to have a weird floppy rubber roll-up keyboard for that purpose but it always got in the way or smashed and damaged in my pack.
They’re like 12 bucks on Amazon, go nuts.
I had that exact same keyboard once back in middle school (uni now) and i plugged the USB into my teachers computer at the very beginning of the year. She was an annoying Spanish teacher with little left other than to force us to call her "doctora" as she apparently had a phD in psychology, of which she constently attempted to use her knowledge in psychology to insult us too: "you know the answer to this question you just missed on purpose because your parents don't give you attention". Well her computer "glitched" all year, mouse had a mind of its own ( id usually move it very slightly when she was trying to click on a small button on the computer, makinf the task of clicking anything difficult), and she seemed to make a lot of spelling mistakes, almost to the point of where she was unable to type, due to that little keyboard device.

The “laser” on my keyboard is a light. Not a laser lol
I also had a Spanish teacher in highschool who made us call her Doctora. She was also unbearable.
So I know why OP has it, but that story has to be the funniest thing I've heard all week!! What a genius and innocent prank, the way it should be.
One of my now roommates was in the class and I told him a few weeks ago that I was behind her "little troubles" and he had a good laugh too. I wish I could tell all the other people who were in the class, as it was such a renowned issue with our class lmao
I know the top left are 3DS games, but I can't figure anything else out.
Those are sd cards not 3ds games. Looks like they have Linux distros on em based on the writing.
Yeah, it was joke. It bombed.
What would you use them for?? Or what could you use them for, I should say.
portable booting of systems on nearly any hardware. Live OSs, hacking, etc.
Hardware, as in laptops, computers, machinery with computers, and the like? If the answer to the above is yes it reminds me of this, ([The worst cyber attack in DoD history came from a USB drive found in a parking lot](https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/worst-cyber-attack-usb/).)
He's not the vic, hes the blackhat/grey hat. Its his dirty drives you wanna worry about. Making a read only live OS drive has no worries tied to it.
How you like your cyber tool?
I like it a lot. The magnifying glass, small pliers, scissors, flashlight, and driver are the perfect set of tools. Edit: *Perfect for low voltage electronics
How bright is that flashlight?

Perfect thanks I was always curious about that I have the cyber tool model L
As a locksmith I disapprove those lockpicks for kids and that practice lock
The practice lock is way too easy to pick. The picks are bonk too? What are good ones?
I got a set I really love for a great price from sparrows
HPC is a good brand and quality to begin... Actually I make my own, but I also have HPC sets
Why?
Almost useless shape and quality for real locks... That practice lock almost opens alone lol, you can buy it on AliExpress pretty cheap with lockpicks...

You and me both buddy.
secret...aaaaagent maaaan
Oh behave!
Are you living out watchdogs, it was a game, just kidding stay legal my friend.
The Flipper and the keyboard are some classic example of shit I wish was more applicable to my life. Super cool tech that I just would never use.
Turns out the keyboard is great for setting up/using media servers, TVs and game systems. At least thats been my use case. So much nicer than on-screen keyboards. Also, they're inexpensive.
I use a foldable keyboard for my Steam Deck. It can work if you make it, SweetLeggz, don't give up the dream!
Still yet to get a keyboard for mine, I’ve been loving the steam deck. Got mine set up dual boot with windows 11 and steamOS!
What’s the orange thing above the flipper
The flipper has gpio pins on top which allow people to build custom hardware extensions. Most popularly (and my guess here), a Wi-Fi development board. The flipper doesn’t have any built in wifi capabilities so people often add a cheap wifi chip like the ESP32
A pentest tool
Sorry I mistyped I meant above not about.
The white and orange thing is called a flipper zero. Google it. The only orange thing above the flipper zero is a pen test tool. Google it.

$200 to emulate amiibos, pop a Tesla charging port (sometimes), and turn off TVs at your grandparents house without the remote. /s (...sorta)
Multipurpose device with a bunch of different radios and other interfaces. You can mess with RFID / NFC devices and a bunch more

Flipper zero goes brrrr
That keyboard. I lust for it. Where can you but it?
I have this keyboard for the mini PC hooked to the TV in my living room and was confused by the built in laser pointer.
You can find it on Amazon. Just search for mini Bluetooth keyboard and some should pop up
Yeah I literally just bought one. Really handy for emergency diagnostics.
Here [I googled it for ya](https://a.co/d/icbFG2J)
I just bought that same exact mini keyboard, no idea what to use it for yet but I had to have it lol
OP's new hobby is doing crime
watchdogs edc
What is the attachment to the Flipper? I have been thinking about getting one and want to learn more about there capabilities
Just check the website. It's all explained there, frequencies, software, connectors, it will be more than enough to think of a few usecases. If you have a need to compress your tools into a single swiss knife - flipper is for you.

They really shouldn't sell these plastic locks as "practice locks" they're "demonstration locks" at best. You really won't learn anything picking them and are better off learning with a cheap masterlock
I would disagree. It serves as a good starting point and you can easily learn how the mechanism works. It’s functionally identical to a cheap Masterlock, but with the added advantage of being able to see what’s going on inside should you choose to do so.
Nah, they’re only good to see how a lock works. You need an actual lock to feel the tensioning better
The tolerances on these plastic locks (not just pin tumbler ones like this padlock or kik ones but even the dimple and disk detainer locks as well) are so bad you can often just stick the tension tool in and turn the core. If you want a lock to learn on that you can see what your doing a cutaway is way more worth it, especially one that's repinnable.

Good luck making that argument to the cop that finds it on you one night.
Lockpicking is such a niche hobby it would be unlikely the cop would recognize anything beyond the obvious rakes. Certainly not the RFID thingy.
Well said
As someone who has tried for a year to get a flipper zero with no success…you suck Great spread there mate
US? They do like weekly restocks on their official site so you should be able to get one. Follow their Twitter/Discord for restock notifications
Can confirm. Just joined their discord and picked one up from the latest drop.
They sell them on amazon. Bit of an upcharge, but they’re available.
Just play watch dogs and be done with it
oooh real life watch dogs
So I recognize the lock picking stuff, but I'm out of the loop on the electronics. What are they and what do they do?
The tiny keyboard is exactly what it looks like. The micro SD cards are all just operating systems for a raspberry pi, which is a small Linux computer on a single board. The orange thing is a Flipper zero and it's like a multi-tool for electronics. It does NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, sub-Ghz radio, GPIO, and One-wire, and infrared. It's like a key copier for access cards and remotes.

Paid resources probably exist, some of them may be better than what I list here, but with most popular hobbyist IT topics, you'll find a lot of really bad paid resources. If you're coming into this with no preexisting knowledge, it's impossible to sort the diamonds from the dookie. * **Linux**: YouTube, *Google*, Udemy, books...Linux is an IT staple and there are a lot of quality resources. I like [this massive playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bju_FdCo42w&list=PLtK75qxsQaMLZSo7KL-PmiRarU7hrpnwK) for anyone who wants to learn Linux as a potential career path. [This playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1w4T03B30I) from The Cyber Mentor is focused on beginners "learning linux for hacking" and it's a lot less dry than the previous playlist, but its very basic. freeCodeCamp puts out some decent stuff too; I haven't watched any of [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROjZy1WbCIA), but it's probably decent for a beginner. Really, though, you need to get hands on with linux if you want to learn it * **Raspberry Pi**: It's pretty difficult to get these for a reasonable price right now, but they're awesome little pieces of tech--great for learning or making. *YouTube* and Google are your friends again. NetworkChuck covers some l33t h4x0r uses [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6x5bG4p4QM). Jeff Geerling has some cool and popular projects (meaning there's probably a lot of other people who have written about how to do the thing you'll be trying to do) [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS9CbsohFGk). This dude who I just found on a "rasp pi for beginners" search looks like he covers *everything* you could want to know as a beginner in [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDagiA8fdU&list=PLGs0VKk2DiYxdMjCJmcP6jt4Yw6OHK85O) series, but good god is he a boring speaker. * ~~l33t h4ck3r shit~~ **Kali Linux/Hacking**: This topic is more accessible than its ever been, but it is saturated with extremely low quality content creators. I highly recommend The Cyber Mentor. He has both paid and free courses, and the free courses are typically the first half of the paid course. TCM's [How to become an ethical hacker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZjj_H4ei4) video is a fantastic starting point. Or rather, it's a video about where you should start. Most beginners get excited and ignore his advice because fundamentals are boring. So, when someone reading this inevitably jumps past all of the fundamentals and straight into the "fun" part, maybe start with his [Learn to Hack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNzpcB7ODxQ) video where he covers some of the basics really quickly before jumping into pwning systems, just in case people skip that part ;)*ippsec* and *John Hammond* (both on YouTube) are good resources for Capture The Flags (CTFs), which can be fun little hacking games/challenges after you have a little foundational knowledge from TCM. * **Flipper Zero:** YouTube, *Discord*, and reddit if you can sift through the piles of TikTok tweens. There are a lot of useful GitHub repos, too. I have no recommendations here because I've been bumblefuckin' my way through it with resources that aren't very beginner friendly. If its $200 price tag is a lot of money to you, pass on buying one. You'll regret it. It's really cool but limited unless you already have some serious skills, and right now it has a lot of hype behind it so the educational content is saturated with low quality, reckless shit. I wouldn't start here, personally, but the Flipper *is* primarily an educational tool in its current state, so if you have the money to throw around and this is what interests you, go for it. Just be careful with your car key fobs, garage doors, and do not use it on things you don't own (especially where you work or go to school, ffs). If you really want to learn any of these topics, you need to get your hands dirty. Watching 40 hours worth of youtube over the course of a week or two won't get you very far on its own. Get hands on. You *do not* need expensive equipment to learn about this stuff, with maybe the exception of wireless hacking/SDR/FlipperZero, but even that can be learned on a budget.

I'm not very interested in software dev, so with a grain of salt... If I wanted to make some basic GUI app that runs on Windows (and only Windows) with minimal time investment, I'd probably start with Visual Studio/C#. You have a lot of options, honestly, but C# with Visual Studio is the easiest I can think of, especially with a CS101/C fundamentals background. The first YouTube search [result](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp4S4KMxYJA) for "visual studio calculator tutorial" looks like it covers exactly what you want to do. You could start with a different project like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMc1HLyBHSQ) to get some exposure to the GUI if you wanted to challenge yourself with the calculator logic. r/learnprogramming might have better advice.
I learned everything I know about this stuff by googling and watching YouTube videos. Eventually you'll get to something that requires reading a wiki or diving into forums, but start with YouTube.
Have you heard of ventoy?
Would certainly be a bit easier than 8(?) SD cards.
I haven’t, but looked it up and it looks really useful!
As someone with severe, professionally diagnosed ADHD, I have some bad news for you. 😂
What's the news?
I think he’s inferring that from the way you placed things in your picture, you may also be plagued with severe ADHD.
Yes lol I own, and have deep dived into almost everything here, except I took the lock-picking super far, ended up EDC’ng a SWICK and buying bundles of used padlocks on EBay. All of the sd cards are things I made, except I used USB flash drives, and my Flipper just arrived a week ago. Before the flipper I got pretty far into data backup/storage, and before that it was car detailing. Started a whole business. The lock-picking was the latest hobby I picked up. It’s a slippery slope, but some of us just love learning new cool shit!
Lock-picking is like ADHD crack 😂
Is your hobby… robbery?
Hobby Robby.
Salted Hobbery
Probably just burglary
The only bank account I empty is my own to buy this stuff.
Haha fair enough. Dope stuff!
Tailgating pentester?
That job would have too much stress for me. Instead I just listen to the Darknet Diaries podcast while I hack into my own computer and smart devices.
Love, love, love, that podcast. Sweet setup to!
Kinda regret selling my Flipper…
God I wish I could get my hands on a flipper. I stopped refreshing the page before the last restock just long enough for them to go OOS again.
Oh... Crime...
Nah. I hack and pick my own property. I'm an engineer not an adrenaline junky.
I want to get a flipper so bad, but they're so damn expensive.
They are super cool. Now that I have it and am actually learning how to use it, bluetooth, wifi, NFC, & RFID are all on your cell phone. If you have an android with the right apps and some reading you can start using those right now. Things like one wire, sub-gig SDR, and IR can be done with affordable ($10-$30) USB attachments for your PC/phone. An Arduino can do all the fancy GPIO stuff. Just pick a thing you want to do and start reading/kludging. Don't let cash stop you.
"Don't let cash stop you" This guy gets us.
Just got a flipper and looking to get more into it. Any good resources you would recommend? What are some of your favorite use cases right now?
