the gates that slide over using a chain, they often have a removable link at the end. If you unhook the chain on the opener side, it will open one more time, then spit all the chain out trying to close it. I used to take that link out when living in complexes with those gates. Made life easier for most. Would take months for it to get fixed. They are just standard 1/2in x1/8in bike chain.
Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners
glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 week agoMy old apartment had gates that could only be opened with an app. They took out the card reader and made it app only. Should have gotten out of there much earlier than I did.

I don’t live there anymore, but if I did this would be useful information.
I think I forgot to mention that they had cameras pointed at the gates, and I have an extremely identifiable appearance.

Yeah, that’s a nope from me. I’m trying to eliminate as many apps from my life as I can.
