It is very very unlikely that you'll be able to duplicate keys using any kind of laser scanning technology, that's just not how they work. You could probably get the appropriate shape of the keyway, but you wouldn't be able

This only adds the ability to copy keys with momentary access to your keys. Anyone with sustained access to your keys can just take them down to the hardware store, so this doesn't really change the "spurned lovers" equation.

I find it very unlikely that you've given this a thorough cost-benefit analysis. For one thing, automobiles were invented after alcohol but before breathalyzers, and we got along more or less just fine without having to put a bunch of

I feel like this is a complete misunderstanding of the threat model here. Keys are not "like passwords", because to use a key you need to physically go up to someone's door, whereas with a password, you can generally do so fr

There is no story downvoting. At a higher karma level you can downvote comments. It seems like it's not published anywhere what that number is, but you can figure it out easily enough by googling around.

I don't really see it as a dick move. They're not appropriating this guy's brand or pretending to be him. The worst that's happened so far is he got a few tweets not meant for him. He's not going to lose any busines
