  • I use it for managing the RFID keyfobs for my building. I can keep copies of each apartment’s fobs – which makes it trivially easy to disable lost fobs by using the ‘delete’ fob, followed by the lost fob (or all of the fobs for a specific resident), then re-enable new ones.

    I’ve also played with the NFC toys, but the built-in capabilities are rather limited. I was able to copy a RFID hotel room key (a room which I was staying in) by cracking keys with the F0 itself, which just shows how terribly weak these things are.

    I haven’t been able to use the SubGHz module to do anything particularly interesting aside from cloning a remote control for a fan and an LED light.

    It’s a neat toy, and it absolutely exposes how trivially easy it is to break access control systems.













  • Bought one, tinkered with it, copied some RFID tags for friends. It has potential, but needs more development and probably a new iteration of hardware – external antenna ports, better RFID support (different frequencies), wider SubGhz support (apparently it can’t receive radio below 300Mhz, where there’s a lot of cool stuff).

    I heard they released an app store, which is awesome… But I’d also like to see a hardware store – there’s so many things I’d like to plug into this… RS-232 for console access to network hardware/debugging, cameras over SPI interface, etc. etc.


  • FYI, finding an incidentaloma and doing another scan 3 months later to see that it’s disappeared is also life saving. My mother had a lung problem, got some imaging done, they found a lump in her lung, and instead of going directly to poking it for a biopsy or surgery, they checked 4 months later, and saw that it resolved on it’s own. If it was cancer, they would have seen changes in it, and known it was something to be investigated further at the time of the second scan. Doctors need to manage expectations and refer people for therapy if they have anxiety around their health.
