SomeoneElseMod , to casualuk in A very surreal post - A funeral director does an obituary post on the business owner.

Why is it surreal, because it’s not written by a family member? Or because they don’t actually say he died?

I think it’s because it’s an obituary of “Ronnie Thompson” shared from a facebook account called “Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors”. I think that’s all

SomeoneElseMod ,

Oh, I missed that. I’m not sure I’d call that surreal though. It’s probably weirder to me that they don’t explicitly say that he owned the business “and served the community with compassion and dedication” or some fluff like that.

Flax_vert OP ,

He did, which IMO is what makes it more surreal because that’s the business owner but they published the obituary like it was anyone else.

On a scale from terminator 1 to terminator 2, how industrial-punk do you rate this image?

Oh this is wonderful. Im such a sucker for fog and visible atmosphere so this is really hitting me the right way. Green is a perfect color for this grimy industrial aesthetic

This looks like a still image from David Lynch’s 1984 movie Dune. Excellent work.

famousringo ,

I was thinking Alien.

Me too

FlyLikeAMouse OP ,

Glad you like it. Part of my job is carrying out fire tests on doors; I had my camera with me to do some promo shots and took a few after the test finished. I love how industrial this one looks, reminds me of the aesthetic in Alien.

Tb0n3 ,

I was wondering what industrial environment would allow that to occur around a crane, but that makes sense.

I just commented about it looking like Alien over at your post at !Photography

Less secure.

Check the YouTube channel 'the lockpicking lawyer". He picks locks, both mechanical and electrical. His typical videos don’t take more than 2-3 minute because that’s all he needs to pick a lock multiple times. Electrical locks usually are opened with a paperclip or something similar. Wat too many locks are designed and built by idiots who have no idea about security

NotYourSocialWorker ,

I wish that he would try his hand on a lock from Yale. Considering that they are part of Assa Abloy who are very well respected in the lock business. My suspicion is that a company who are mainly makers of mechanical locks at least won’t fall prey for the many of the beginners mistakes lockpicking lawyer points out.

From what I’ve seen? Considerably less secure.

Many of them feature a normal pin-tumbler lock cylinder as a backup in case the electronics fail, and best case scenario it’s going to be as mediocre as any old Kwikset hanging on the peg on the comedy aisle at Lowe’s. So you’re probably still vulnerable to key theft, key duplication, picking, combing, raking, jiggling, etc.

Then there’s the electronics. A surprising number of them rely on either a solenoid to directly operate the latch/bolt, or a relay that energizes a motor to do the same, both of these are vulnerable to attacks by magnets. A stupid number of them are vulnerable to disassembly attacks. There are trace evidence attacks such as looking at the keypad and noticing where all the fingerprints are, there’s just watching you dial the combination…

And the smart phone app driven ones…sure, let’s send a signal that means “I just got home” across the internet. That sounds safe.

JackbyDev , to nostupidquestions in Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

It depends on your threat vector. In the academic sense they’re less secure but if you often loan out keys they’re more secure because you don’t have to give someone the key. If you often forget to lock the door they’re more secure because you can do it remotely.

NotYourSocialWorker ,

Or if you have kids they can’t lose their keys if they just have a pin. And that pin can be changed if they tell it to someone.

warmaster , to nostupidquestions in Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

More ways to open is leds secure than leds ways to open. That said if you have an unsecured window, then that is the weakest link of the chain.

DNOS , to nostupidquestions in Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

If the door is made of cardboard as most us’s one are u better get the cheapest one it won’t make a difference… look at an European door if u don’t now what I mean…

AnalogyAddict , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

In my case, definitely more secure. If I’d given my kids a key, my ex was likely to copy it without my knowledge. With a code, I could tell them to go ahead and give him the code if he pressured them, then just change it.

And I still have a non-electronic deadbolt.
