Order and orient the keys on your keychain

I haven't owned a keychain for many years now. After renovating our house, we installed a Yale Doorman. It's the best $300 investment I've done that I can think of: - Don't have to carry a keychain at all anymore - I can give strangers (think AirBnb, or cleaners) time-bound access codes - I can remotely unlock/lock the door for someone if they need immediate access - Kids can get home without a key - Kids losing their key not a worry anymore - Work office is keyless too (xlock) - We always keep a small 9V battery outside in case the battery goes flat

It was after a painful deadlock situation that we initially retro-fitted an electronic lock into the old front door which we carried over to the new door once we renovated the entire floor.

I've always been tempted/curious to adopt a sort keyless of approach. I dislike carrying keys...and have had to carry (what to me feels like too many) keys always throughout my life. But without really researching the option you referenced, i have fears about failure modes for this type of keyless kock. For example...

* If/When the battery dies, does the lock default to locked setting? I assume so, but how annoying would this be?

* Being a privacy nut, does the lock come with a pre-determined code, or can you generate your own? I assume you should be able to create your own, but figuried I'd ask.

Instead of answering my questions, if you have an online reference that you might have used to decide going this route, would be great if you could share. Thanks!

I bought a house with an electronic front door lock. One day a few months later I used the wrong code (a few times I guess) and I got fully locked out. I don't subscribe to the $60/month service that could have remotely reset the system so I had to get a locksmith to break me in.

After that I replaced it with a plain old mechanical lock. Never again touching any smart home crap.

I'm sure I didn't use the wrong code three times, something must have happened the 2nd/3rd times like a key didn't get pressed hard enough to register. But regardless, the lesson is there's a bunch of possible failure scenarios you won't think of.

One time I drove my car into a lake while drinking heavily. That's why never again will I drive in a car, drink or be anywhere near a lake!

(There is no reason to give up on smart home devices as a category due to one badly designed device).

Well that does not sound appropriate or accurate at all.

In your own words:

>"All women are whores. Sorry to break it to you." -Kyle Benzel, Sept 28, 2022, Hacker News, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33010046 (log in or create an HN account, and set showdead=true to view the evidence)

That's exactly why I directly quoted and linked to your own highly inappropriate and inaccurate words, that you posted here on Hacker News. There's no denying that you wrote them, it's on your permanent record.

So explain exactly what you meant when you wrote "All women are whores. Sorry to break it to you."

It's appropriate for me to quote your own words back to you and ask you about them, which is my right, because you viciously and personally insulted my mother, as well as your own mother too, and also four billion other women, including trans women, because they are truly women too.

As misogynistic, bigoted, idiotic, inappropriate, hateful, distasteful, and false as your own words and actions are, you might believe you have the right to call your own mother a whore because you of all people would know, but certainly not all other women, and definitely not here.

You should keep your attacks and accusations a private family matter, and get family counseling for your mental illness, instead of inappropriately airing your problems here publicly on Hacker News for all to read, no matter how "sorry to break it to you" you insincerely claim to be. If you meant that non-apology apology, you wouldn't have posted anything -- it just proves mens rea, your awareness that your actions were wrong.

And you should be sorry you posted it in the first place, so you owe all women a sincere public apology for what you insincerely publicly said.

Why did you call my mother and your mother and all other women whores in public, and do you apologize?
