"Flipper Zero is a tool designed for hardware geeks and researchers. We have taken multiple precautions and intentionally limited its functionality to the point where it can’t be used against any kind of modern access systems."

Well now I'm just curious what precautions they took and how easy is it to revert/subvert them.

Full disclosure, I have the Flipper Zero and it's fine, but it's not exactly something you can use to take down a power grid.

I think it’s funny they mention that it can open garage doors multiple times. Garage doors for most people are just the bare minimum to keep tools from walking away.
