Aw fuck. I should've bought one as soon as I heard about the device.

As far as I can tell, it hasn't been banned yet. So go get one and then don't get caught with it once the toothless ban comes into force.

God damn, I'm going to build a clone from an old laptop and $40 on Aliexpress.

The price is what kept me from having one already. I always wanted a device like this since I was a kid and the idea was still science fiction.

Ironically, I first heard about it from a video review showing it doesn't actually do some of these hacks well or at all, such as opening a garage door by duplicating the code of the remote for the garage door.

Yeah lol. You can't do much unless you have the original device you want to clone or are lucky enough to be within range and time it right when it's used to capture any signal.
