The tech used here is the popular Flipper Zero, an ethical hacker’s swiss army knife, capable of all sorts of things such as WiFi attacks or emulating NFC tags. Now, 404 Media has found an underground trade where much shadier hackers sell extra software and patches for the Flipper Zero to unlock all manner of cars, including models popular in the U.S. The hackers say the tool can be used against Ford, Audi, Volkswagen, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, and several other brands, including sometimes dozens of specific vehicle models, with no easy fix from car manufacturers.
I’m fond of skipping Kid Rock songs on the local dive bar’s touchtunes.
I would let all the power go to my head with that one. Not that I go outside, let alone to bars.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, unless you want to hear Kid Rock butcher Sweet Home Alabama (which itself butchered Werewolves of London, and was only still good because you can hear Van Zandt drop his donuts, goddamn, in the back of the track) for the fourth time tonight.
Didn’t Sweet home Alabama precede Werewolves of London? Also, what does “drop his donuts” mean in this context?
Yes, which is why it’s weird they were able to steal it, gol’dang time travelers. No I wasn’t mistaken, time travelers. No I’m not bias because Warren Zevon rules, I said time travelers.
“Drop his donuts” means his dough circles fell off a table during the studio recording. You can hear him say “my donuts! Goddamn!” in the back of the track, it’s hilarious.
lol I’ll have to listen for that—I thought it might be some new slang you kids were using that I was unaware of
