FYI it's possible to create duplicate keys from pictures of them, so I wouldn't recommend posting pictures of your keys online

I'm aware but not worried.

Zak@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 138d (4 replies)

That's true, but most people with that skill can also pick locks.

Iconoclast@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 138d (3 replies)

Picking isn't really an option when it comes to Abloy disc detainer locks as you need a custom built device to pick it along with the skills to use it. However, anyone can just break the window and open the door from inside which is why I'm not particularly worried. That and the fact that I barely own anything worth stealing in the first place.

Zak@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 138d (2 replies)

I'm not sure a video of someone successfully picking an Abloy disc detainer lock is good evidence for the claim that picking isn't really an option when it comes to Abloy disc detainer locks.

I'll grant that picking them is difficult, but cloning keys for them from photos is probably also more difficult than common pin tumbler locks.

Iconoclast@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Perhaps you're not aware of who that "someone" in the video was but if it takes close to 4 minutes for him to pick a masterkeyed lock containing "dissapointing discs" by using a custom built tool, then that's unpickable lock to 99.999% of people.

Zak@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 138d

I know who LockPickingLawyer is, and I know that disc detainer locks are hard to pick.

My point is that cloning keys from pictures also requires specialized equipment (or a file and a very high level of skill). The only real exception is standardized keys someone might recognize like the Ford fleet key. Those used to come up in an Amazon search for "police car key".

redlemace@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Pretty much this. But it's a 600lm headlight (petzl) to keep hands free, and the knife is an carbon steel (opinel) which are much, much sharper than rvs.

Iconoclast@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 138d

Carbon steel isn't inherently sharper than stainless. It's just easier to get sharp. In the case of Opinel, much of why it cuts so well is due to the single bevel grind on the blade which makes the apex incredibly thin.

Mostly just my phone. I don't need keys because my implants let me open doors at home and at work, and I don't need a payment card because I also have a payment implant.

How do you fare in airport scanners?

ExtremeDullard@piefed.social · 9 pts · 138d (3 replies)

They don't ring. They're much too small.

The only minor danger I was afraid of was being unable to go through MRI machines with those of my implants that have a ferrite core - i .e. small glass implants. But it turns out, they're completely unaffected - at least up to 2T, which was the strongest MRI field I went through. They do warp the MRI scan pretty badly around them though 🙂

Fizz@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Can you take them out easily?

ExtremeDullard@piefed.social · 3 pts · 138d

They are under my skin, so no 🙂

Implants usually involve a scalpel to get in and out of you - unless they're small injectable glass implants like those for pets, in which case it's just a small jab to implant it.

luthis@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 138d

Did you put that in yourself? It doesn't look like a small needle. Did you get a glow or light up one? How do you keep the information safe? Sorry, so many questions. And it's a lot cheaper than I was thinking.

  • Guitar pick
  • Wireless/Contactless waterproof keyfob for my car (I finally found a good use for that pocket-inside-a-pocket on jeans)
  • Snus
  • Cardholder (Regular debit card, two credit cards, misc other cards I "always" need)
  • Phone
  • Bluetooth airbuds

If I'm wearing a jacket, its pockets also adds:

  • Wallet (with passports, seamans book, misc currencies, TWIC, WHO vaccine booklet, misc warehouse access cards, a bunch of airline frequent flier cards)
  • Tiny multitool
  • Pen
  • Syringe needle that I've cut to be blunt, in a protective casing. It's excellent for those tiny reset buttons on hardware
  • USB-C cable
  • USB thumb drive
felsiq@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 138d (3 replies)

Was your car key fob always waterproof or did you upgrade/replace it? That sounds really useful

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 138d (2 replies)

Actually, it's probably the reverse; When new it's rated as waterproof down to 10m depth. Volvo calls it the "sports key".

However, the battery is only rated for 3 years, and it's not possible to change the battery without voiding the warranty, and having a new key programmed and shipped costs 500 USD equivalent.

But I'm a DIY cheapskate who voids warranty for a living, so I tore it up. It wad a standard 2032 cell, so I soldered o a new one and filled the fob with epoxy, and now it works again. I just don't trust it to be as waterproof anymore.

I always keep it in my jeans, and it hasn't failed me so far.

I haven't needed it yet, but I still bring one of the proper key fobs for longer drives such as vacation or work trips.

felsiq@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Wow yeah that sounds really stupid, I wonder why they didn’t just make it rechargeable via QI

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 138d

Probably because the charging circuitry would make the electronics inside bigger, and a rechargeable cell has a massively reduced capacity compared to a primary cell. The electronics package is tiny, and the battery itself is by far the biggest component. I think it makes sense to keep it semi-single-use with those factors in mind.

In fact, I've considered 3d printing a new shell for it to make it even tinier and definitely water proof.

rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 6 pts · 138d

Messenger bag. I don't like carrying stuff in the pockets of my pants, jackets etc., especially sharp and heavy-ish things like keys, and I like keeping lots of stuff on me when I leave my home.

Dead Tamagotchi from 1998 to remind myself of my failures as a caregiver.

I'm a photo nerd. Uhhh... keys, flashlight, swiss army knife, phone, pocket camera (Ricoh GR III), wallet. If I go anywhere I usually pick up a bigger camera (Nikon Z fc, or if I get serious, the D780, with 50mm / 24-120mm / 70-300mm lenses). There's also a whole lot of random mystery stuff in my bags. I don't want to think about that stuff too much, I'll just get a headache

HetareKing@piefed.social · 2 pts · 137d

In my pockets, my keys (including a NitroKey for accessing my passwords), which are literally chained to my trousers, my phone and a little towel the size of a handkerchief.

I also carry a little, what to call it, pochette? It's a little carrying thing around the size of my hand, that is either clipped to the strap of my messenger bag or carried on its own with a shoulder strap. It contains my passport, public transit pass, bank pass, just-in-case-cash, pen, mechanical pencil, cloth for wiping glasses, and a folded ecobag.

As for the messenger bag, it contains a carbon steel folding umbrella, which folds down to around the size of a glasses case and is very light, a larger ecobag, notebook, headphones, a bunch of USB cables and adapters, a USB memory stick, and a teeny-tiny nail clipper. Not for actually clipping my nails, but you know how sometimes a little triangle of skin around the corner of a nail gets loose and all hard and annoying? It's for that sole purpose. Also, I typically carry the bag when traveling a longer distance (like my commute to work), so there's usually a book and a 3DS in there.
