To be fair, most of the alternatives are garbage, but also most of Kryptonite’s own products are garbage. There are ~3 worthwhile bike locks on the market. 2 of them are made by Kryptonite. The rest provide the same value as the TSA. Mostly

I think a lot about the effect that ad-driven business models and open source must have had on the propensity to spend money on software products. Both in terms of pricing and in terms of build vs. buy. Mostly because I’m always musing abou
