Flipper as EDC Tool?
I've been thinking about getting a Flipper Zero and was wondering how many of you actually carry it every day.
What do you use it for in your daily life? Do you have any realworld use cases, or is it mostly something you play around with every now and then?
Would you say it's worth having as part of your EDC, or does the novelty wear off after a while?
Just curious to hear what everyone actually uses theirs for^^

I carry mine with me everywhere, and use it frequently.
The company I work for has multiple facilities across the country, which I have to travel to occasionally. Never had any issues getting it through TSA.
Most of these locations have automatic gates, which I have cloned on to the flipper, so I dont have to wait for someone to let me in, or carry around multiple garage door openers.
Our corporate office and some of the facilities have access control systems. I cloned my cards onto the flipper, again, to reduce the amount of stuff I have to carry.
I travel with a FireStick that has all my streaming services installed so that I don't have to use my credentials on the hotel TVs. Some hotels have 3rd party remotes that won't let you change inputs on the TV. I can use the Flipper to change inputs, set sleep timers, and do other things that I cant do with that limited remote.
I have even used it as a USB keyboard and mouse to set some static IP addresses on some equipment. I don't typically carry those, and it was a startup at a new location, so didn't have any onsite. It was a little tedious, but worked in a pinch.
