    The IR tech in a flipper-zero is more inline and generally useful than some of those old phones. Given the shenanigans that device causes, its probably best it does not have a sim card.

    (Ive had realitives get unbelieveably pissed off that their TV remotes could be “stolen”, they arnt that bright and I tried to explain how “universal remote codes” work… I think they just wanted to be angry)

      I used to have a Casio watch with a remote control in the early 2000s and can confirm there were plenty of shenanigans to be had.
