It's the same thing with the raspberry pi, sure you can get some cheap clone off less than ideal places, but you're gonna pay with your time. That's basically it.
Biggest level up was just lightly dusting anything with a starch or flour (lentil flour is awesome) and then a few light sprays of olive oil.
Two different models microwaves cook pretty differently from each other. Especially if they have differing wattage.
But then again, cooking is poor man's process engineering - what you do when you don't particularly care about quality and consistency, or at least don't have access to hardware and methods to ensure them.
It's a little different: from when the rPI first came out the price was a big driver of it's popularity. It started with the Model B at $35 (with the Model A at $25 "later this year") and this was so much cheaper than other options at the time. Look over threads from the time [1][2] and you'll see things like: "I teach middle school programming/computer classes. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these. Right now it's cheap enough that I can tell the parents to buy one for their kids without a problem, and out of pocket it for those few of my students whose parents won't be able to afford it." and "The pricepoint is simply revoultionary. I intend to make a few amateur home automation gadgets with this."
For the price, it is great for more complex attacks and almost has all the features of a full Proxmark RDV4 (minus BLE and a battery).

To get started, the basics are: low freq (LF) is usually around 125khz and is rarely encrypted (HID Prox is the most common in the US). The data is often encoded in Wiegand format for access control systems (something to keep in mind when reading the raw data).
High freq (HF) (aka NFC) is ~13Mhz and is readable by most Android phones with NFC. Not all tag data can be read however. HF cards support a lot of different options including data storage (normally in a block layout with permissions to read and write depending on keys) and encryption (iCLASS and SEOS being the HID offerings and very common). Some can be cloned (like hotel cards) while others (like SEOS) require a downgrade attack to work correctly (SEOS -> normal SEOS reader -> Weigand data -> older style card like HID Prox).

Too bad. I was sincerely hoping nobody would buy anything from them so they would die.
OT but if you found it for $8 on Temu, then you can most likely find the exact same device on Aliexpress for $1 - $2. Don't feed Temu - their ads are clogging up my feeds :)
I didn't know about M5 before and now I'm hooked exploring M5's store, so I appreciate OP's pointing me there!
That actually sounds really cool...
r/ZeroPhone: ZeroPhone - a Raspberry Pi smartphone
You can check firmware version and device status, update it, have access to file manager, can backup keys, read logs, reboot, speed/stress test, and probably do a lot of other things that I am not aware about.
If you want to interact with the software on flipper zero you have to use the "remote" app (or whatever) on the phone. It kinda sucks though because it literally acts just like the physical device. If you wanna type a filename out and think having a full keyboard like on your phone would make that task easier... it doesn't. You are stuck using the fake "buttons" to move the cursor around to each letter just like you would on the device itself.
