It's beyond perplexing that the author of this article is completely aware that putting your key in a foil-lined bag is one option, yet they spend most of the article talking about refrigerators and microwaves, which are infinitely less convenient and even dangerous. I suppose the fridge gets more clicks, though?

- CodeCube 8y agoWhile I completely understand what the article is saying ... this is nothing short of a complete failure of journalistic integrity. Just like there's a "wall" between the news floor and the advertising department, it should be accepted practice for the author of a piece to have a hand in and approval of titles for their piece. An editor writing a clickbaity headline is incentivized in the same way as the ad/business department to craft that title in a way to maximize engagement.
- dionidium 8y agoNo solace. So it was Bob the editor who wrote the headline and not Steve the author? I guess that matters a lot to Steve, but to me, the reader, this is a meaningless, irrelevant distinction. Steve cares a lot about absolving Steve, I guess, but, like, this couldn't possibly matter any less to literally anybody else.

- LinuxBender 8y agoAgreed. Plus, condensation in the fridge can't be good for some keyless entry fobs. A small metal box should suffice.
