Brazil seizing Flipper Zero shipments to prevent use in crime

quote [ The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency is seizing incoming Flipper Zero purchases due to its alleged use in criminal activity, with purchasers stating that the government agency has rejected all attempts to certify the equipment. ]

Had my on eye this since "Kickstarter" noticed they recently started to include Australia in the shipping regions. Just need to find the spare funds to splurge on what's essentially going to be used as a toy/learner tool.

Robot Snowplow Eats Up Snow, Poops Out Bricks

quote [ Some parts of northern Japan can receive a surprising amount of snow in wintertime, enough to block roads and isolate people living in mountain villages. Elderly people in particular are at risk in these areas, both from being shut-in and from trying to shovel all the snow. That's where "Yuki-taro, the friendly snowbot", comes in! ]

This is pretty neat. Maybe it could be trained to build igloos too
