Can anybody tell me what they’re using their flipper zero for? I want one, but I can’t think of many use-cases besides “fiddling”

Not sure how Bluetooth jamming is legal when other jamming (like cellphone signals) is not.

Bluetooth run on unregulated frequencies, I believe, same as Wifi

It's not technically jamming. It's like sending all iPhone users nearby text messages constantly. Other people can still use their data, but those users are getting spammed.
