I watched his video on high-security shipping container locks. Jeez, two minutes long? They must be tough!
No, it was two minutes long because he bypassed ten of them, one after the other.

- LoganDark 1y agoYou are using a Master Lock model 606. It can be opened with a Master Lock model 606.

- QuercusMax 1y agoMy impression of most locks now is that they're really just to stop something from being casually broken into or even just falling open by accident.
- rolph 1y agoyou are adjacent to the concept that locks are an honest persons way of communicating to other honest people that an invitation is required.
- bravoetch 1y agoMy dad's wisdom as he cut my bike lock off when I lost the key in middle school: "locks keep honest people out."
- MarsIronPI 1y agoYour dad sounds like a very wise man.
- TimTheTinker 1y agoI have a friend who says "gun control keeps law-abiding people unarmed."
- smt88 1y agoYour friend should look at almost any other Western, developed nation for counterexamples
- Grimblewald 1y agoGun control gives cause for arresting any law breaking people. See how such parables go both ways? Point is, gun control has led to a reduction in gun crime in every country I know of. Thats hard evidence against your qippy one-liner.
- TimTheTinker 1y ago> Point is, gun control has led to a reduction in gun crime in every country I know of. Thats hard evidence against your qippy one-liner. That's a tautology - of course it did. The real questions are - what percentage of violent crimes were committed with guns after after gun control, how much did overall violent crime decrease after gun control, and to what extent was gun control provably responsible for the reduction of violent crime (when statistically controlling for other factors that reduce violent crime)? The overall slope of the violent crime curve has been negative, but the value may have been more negative if it were not for gun control. Also, I think history will bear this out in the coming centuries -- totalitarianism and terrorism can flourish far better when citizens are unarmed.
- Grimblewald 1y agoYoure missing an important detail - how many deaths / maimings per violent offense. If violent offences dont drop but those do, worth no? How about school shooters - will people no longer crash out and attack their classmates? No. We havent solved the underlying issue, however, such a crashout sans guns seems siginificantly more preferable to me. besides, the usa has proven that freedom to access guns doesnt protect you from dictatorships / authoritarian governments. That was the main stated constitutional reason for having that right. So the USA hasn't seen any benefits from free gun access ans has lost uncountbaly many lives to death and trauma. How is it still justified?
- pdonis 1y agoOr to make it clear that if someone does break the lock, they didn't have your permission to get at whatever it was protecting.
- taneq 1y agoYep, it’s like those security screws, they’re not used to stop you opening the box, they’re used to prove that you knew you shouldn’t be opening the box.
- db48x 1y agoMost of the time they’re just there to make you _think_ that you shouldn’t be opening the box. In the US the Magnusen–Moss Warranty Act of 1977 explicitly prohibits companies from voiding any warranty merely because the owner opened up the device, repaired it, or had it repaired.
- MarkMarine 1y agoI've watched LPL videos and practiced on regular locks, I can pick something that is about 10$ or less, but these expensive locks with good tolerances (Abus) or disc detainer cores (kryptonite locks,) no amount of practice and fiddling with the correct tools has ever opened one of these. I lack the skill or touch. I can hold a 18v grinder with a cutoff wheel just fine though, I lost the keys to one of those kryptonite locks on my bike and I was riding my bike again 30 seconds later.
- plumeria 1y agoCan he pick an Assa Abloy lock though?
- Intermernet 1y agoMany, often, quickly.
