The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices after tagging them as tools thieves can use to steal cars.

Lol. You better just ban all programmable boards then, because the Flipper doesn't have any special proprietary or differential tech in it. It's just a clever collection of already existing hardware and software. Someone will just make another immediately. Idiots.

If they knew that, they wouldn't be banning the device instead of going after the car makers to make the cars more secure
