@[email protected] seriously why would anyone feel safe protected by something that looks like that lmao. i already heard about them locking people out like crazy
People are generally too trusting and uncritical of technology.
I'd rather take an old school lock and key to some electronic pad that'll effectively lock me out of my home until it gets updated. Haha
People are ignorant, they do not know how stuff works, so they don't see the problems of propietary software in house "IoT" things.
People just think it's cool to have a lock that you can open with your phone and not give it much thought afterwards.
True but I also think there are good use cases for such locks and would probably buy one if there were an open source lock available, or even one with easily replaceable firmware that was affordable.
Important thing to remember is that all locks are at best an inconvenience for any dedicated intruder and also to yourself if it fails.
