Herr Irrtum!

In response to this post

Errr... ok? Here we go:

Beware, used ID card printers are usually a SCAM. Bought new, they come with a fairly large pool of IDs (around 32.000 usually). However they are in use all over the clock at those institutions that utilize them. So chances are, when buying those devices in used condition, there is no ID left to print.
Even when you hack the device, you can't be sure, if the IDs you would print with the hacked firmware are unique – making the purpose of the IDs invalid. Stay away, better get a new one!


@herr_irrtum@s.basspistol.org The issue with buying a new one is that it’s about ten times the price. 😅
