> Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.
I recently got around to configuring the WiFi and it works. So call me a risk-taker!
Honestly I just want a few grams of explosives in my lock, wired so that they kill anybody attempting to pick the lock. Passive defenses are never enough.
The goal of all security methods is not to make breaching them impossible (since that can't be achieved), it's to make breaching them so expensive that it isn't worth what would be gained by doing so.
The point of mechanical locks is not absolute security, it’s to be more work to break than any alternative.
Sooo true, my non tech friends make fun of me for how little automation/tech I have in my home.
Probably because we see how the sausage is made and how everyone prioritizes cost over security. It’s incredibly hard to make something secure once it’s connected to the internet.
