- nemomarx 2mo agoFor an office door, why not a key card or lanyard badge or whatever? A code? I feel like you could use something easier than an app too.
- SoftTalker 2mo agoYou're in a rush in the morning and you leave home without your badge. Happens to me at least once a month. But I almost never don't have my phone.
- eichin 2mo agoit's sold as harder to copy (and easier to revoke when you're doing layoffs - which shouldn't have been a really challenge for card-based systems, they're just old and didn't keep up.)
- bigfatkitten 2mo agoNeither of these are challenges at all for semi-modern card systems.
- iamnothere 2mo agoKey cards/badges don’t have GPS in them and can’t keep tabs on you outside the office.
- apothegm 2mo agoYeah, that article was silly. Yes, setting up a new phone is a giant annoying exercise in yak shaving, but that’s to be expected when transferring to any device. That said, I’ve had to unlock a door with a dedicated phone app, and it’s always way too many taps even if the app hasn’t randomly logged you out because your session is a month old or because your phone restarted to store an update. (Even more if you prefer to keep Bluetooth off -which among other things saves on battery.)
