I had never realized how little I know about the RFID tech that I use every day to get into my building. A little Googling and it seems there's quite a bit to learn... https://www.getkisi.com/blog/copy-clone-prox-

No need to package them in a pleasing way, but factually is important. No special kind of respect or consideration is necessary -- just don't tell other people what experiences they have or have not had based on their skin color when

Of course not, but the clumsy racism of the grand-grandparent poster immediately invalidated all of the otherwise good points that were made and clearly turned off a wide swath of an otherwise reasonable and receptive audience. There'

I agree on the segmentation. I actually have no work-related reason to keep everything separate, but purposely do so for the distraction-related reasons you mentioned. I do this by keeping each type of work and personal project in its own

So, what are you hoping to get out of this? I ask not in a condescending way, but with hope that you've thoroughly thought this through and understand the tradeoffs you're making. Certainly you could make a good living elsewhere
