Is this really a battle worth picking? Many friends and coworkers are going to bring up the Flipper to you in passing conversation, might as well get used to it.
In my opinion, yeah. If anyone tries to deify or demonize the concept of a Flipper, you just remind them that everyone has a smartphone with even wilder SDR capabilities. The biggest difference is that the Flipper is weak hardware with wide-open software, and your smartphone is strong hardware with weak-ass software configuration.
Reminding people of that is important, even if you don't think the FCC is about to change their mind. Crucify us for being a nerd if you must, but someone has to be the voice of reason and point out that the Flipper is the most optional part of the exploit.
yes, and people shouldnt accept the media do what should be considered grossly lying. and dont forget, they do this, or whats way worse, to EVERY SINGLE article. You know about this because you're in this sphere, but when its about farm animals, you may or may not know, and then people tend to eat it up.
The mainstream media as it is now, and probably has been for a very very long time, is an enemy of the people, and should be treated accordingly
