If a phone is lost or stolen, at least that security of unlocking to tap-to-oay will prevent purchases from being made. A plastic card, not so much.

Sounds like you need Morgan & Morgan

So what are the talking points or take aways from the video?

Depends what part of it you are considering. The mobile apps are “free” but not OSS.

So, it’s kinda mixed. The firmware is open source, while the mobile apps are freemium based.

This probably only applies to the V3. The V4 uses the ESP32-S3’s USB peripheral instead of a CP2102.

KDE connect can connect to another android device that is also running it and on the same network.

reverse engineering a proprietary UART protocol

This sounds cool and all but then

Turns out it was just standard 8N1 115200-baud UART.

I didn’t see any mention of this proprietary UART protocol in your blog and the GitHub project looks like it was as simple as reflashing the onboard ESP32 once everything is wired correctly?

Did they even resolve the issues with the Rust implementation of coreutils?

It’s still there in there latest Android 16 builds

Isn’t that an off the shelf part?

You might have used Heimdall, https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall, the open source Odin alternative 😉.

Or get it for free by downloading the release APK from the GitHub repository 😉

At least the app option persists between system updates 😉

Probably because it still uses the android camera API to do so rather than directly access /dev/video0.

I’m sure it is possible to add a video capture to the API 😉

I did 🤡

I guess you never heard of cPLA 😉

Pretty solid how to by James TDG 😉 Louis shouldn’t be given the credit here

Maybe there want to be a scam baiter like Kit Boga 😉
