Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts::The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices after tagging them as tools thieves can use to steal cars.
Yeah, since we can’t stop murderers, we should do nothing about it.
Banning flipper is exactly that- doing nothing- because you can’t actually use one to steal a car.
The thing we should do is to hold car manufacturers accountable for neglecting security in cars.
Remember, the “s” in IoT stands for security.
nice one
So actually doing nothing.

If you truly want to solve something then you have to make some draconian-like laws and enforce it with rigorous effort. Sometimes the harshest measures are the safest measures.
Now tell everyone how banning a device which can’t be used for car thefts, will somehow help with car thefts.
I think we’d all like to know.
Or, you know, it’s incredibly stupid to ban. But what do I know? Other than that you can’t use a flipper to steal a car of course.

Let’s establish an international anti-murder day. It won’t save anyone, but at least we did SOMETHING!
We can’t stop murderers, so let’s band all guns, knives, baseball bats and tire irons.
I do agree with the gun part, the rest are up to serious debate.
They were being sarcastic.
I know.
