In fact you can use your smartphone to change the channel on nearly any TV. In the comments on that post some people talk about how to do it. Basically you need a smartphone with either builtin IR or use a USB-C IR blaster or if your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack you can also try one of those but I’m not sure if the 3.5mm ones are as commonly supported.
Flipper Zero ftw
Really expensive for the use case.
I considered it recently but then the flipper zero community was like “Spend $15 bucks for a universal remote man.”
haha im in the middle of switching careers into IT/CS and I figured it would be a good investment for the future or at least to tinker with. I’ve just had to focus on other things for certs I need, so no time to really dive into it.
I have one, for a year now or so. But haven’t use dit much really. And now the flipper one is announced. So I wished I waited and bought that one instead.
I really need to get one.
I’d wait a bit. The flipper one is announced.
Citation needed. All I can find are YouTube videos from random accounts that aren’t Flipper Devices. Nothing in writing and especially not from the company.
Apparently it was announced but later removed from their website. See this article
That article is over a year old and was itself referring to events a year before that.
YT link
If I am to believe this youtuber, the flipper zero creator shared info with him on the flipper one. I know, it’s thin, but it’s also not a hoax imo. It’s just impossible to guess where the development currently is.
And I need to learn to use mine better. All I got is a couple of neat magic tricks like turning off TVs or scanning people’s cats lol
Just been too busy learning other things lately I guess
… Pardon?
haha some people have their pets microchipped so they can be scanned and returned to the owner if lost. If you run the flipper over the right spot (and in the right mode), generally between the shoulder blades, it’ll tell you if they’re chipped and read out some of the data.
if chip == True: print("is cat") else: print("might not be cat")Yeah same here. Not really using it for anything other than that. Oh and opening tesla charge ports.
