Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

Flipper Devices, maker of the Flipper Zero hacking device, today announced a new gadget called Flipper One that has multiple network connectivity chops and can act as a Linux PC (is this the year?). The company has sold over a million Flipper Zero units and has generated over $150 million in sales. However, the new device is not a successor as it operates on a different layer than the Flipper Zero, the company said. The Flipper Zero device is popular in the hacker community, which can connect to radios like Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, a sub-1GHz transceiver, and Infrared. The device could act like a key fob or an entry pass, but could also be used in cases like spamming nearby iPhones.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at TechCrunch.
