I have found it pretty useful in a few situations: - USB/Mouse keyboard when the iMac you are working on has totally dead batteries for the mouse/keyboard- its not fun but works in a pinch.

- Cloning weird ceiling fans/lights. Apparently I've bought horrible remotes but this helped.

- Used this as a nightstand clock while traveling.

- Used the authenticator app as a backup Yubi key

- Mouse jiggler to keep a computer awake

- blasting tvs at restaurants is a ton of fun and my kids like that.

- And the IR functionality for Nerf Laser Ops Pro (IR laser tag) is an absolute blast - the actual Nerf guns have a delayed trigger, but with Flipper there is no delay or need to "reload" so you are an unstoppable beast.

Just a heads up about the Flippers U2F implementation [0] and the possible weaknesses compared to a Yubikey/other U2F key.

Thank you for this - It is really more of a backup/testing since I leave my Flipper at home 99% of the time and rely on my real Yubi for a few things. Mainly Github which was just because I can.

I had a lot of fun playing with the Flipper's Bad USB DuckyScript to automate some repetitive and tedious CMS workflow for a client, filling in a lot of input fields on multiple browser windows with a single press of a button. It improved my productivity and happiness. I've since graduated to Playwright, but it was the Flipper that sparked the idea.

You can likely still buy those "every TV" $5 power/volume remotes that fit on a keychain, if they're asking for their own.
