I recently had an experience where some of my acquaintances thought I was a “hacker” engaging in illegal activities when they saw me playing with my Flipper Zero.

They didn’t confront me but was talking amongst themselves about how dangerous the device was, how it’s banned in some countries, etc. based on the videos they had seen on IG & TikTok.

I had purchased my Flipper Zero so I could combine and replace a bunch of key fobs & remotes that I had to carry around for my daily activities:

• a key fob to my office building
• three separate gate openers for my and my friends’ apartment complexes (that I frequently visit)
• a key fob to enter my apartment building

Later when I found out what they said, I explained to them that it’s a remote device. I was wondering how others have explained their device to other people.
