Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored...

  Okay, so that last picture - that knob has 2 positions for locked vs unlocked, which whomever owns the lock presumably would know upon visual inspection. Like how every lock like that works. Are you human?

  Incorrect, thats my lock it spins more than 360 degrees. I’ll prove it

  Image

  I swapped its state. Is the first picture locked, or the second? Your arrogance is astonishing.

  The rest of that… I go back to my previous point regarding fires and needing a key to exit.

  What’s my current SHTF plan and why do you believe it’s insufficient?

  Changing a mechanical lock is simple and I’d never keep a lock like that on my door, along with most normal and sane people who can critically think. Housing codes were written in blood.

  That’s nice, if I changed it to the above lock, would the first picture be locked? Or the second? Please answer you’ve tre to evade the question a number of times now. I’ve given you the lock you want, I’ve shown you locked and unlocked states.

  Second question you’ve ignored: what, in you’re understanding, is the problem I am trying to solve? How do seeing intruders faces solve it?

  You can’t keep ignoring me to assert your position, that’s not a conversation. A conversation is back and forth, you didn’t lie the lock, I showed one you like. You didn’t like only having one state, I’ve shown you both. I tell you you’re not listening to the problem I want to solve, you continue to solve a different problem.

  Quit it.

    Maybe it’s your stupidity that is astonishing.

    Simply replace it with a mechanical lock that shows the position.

    Or get an electric one.

    I don’t care. Leave your door open for all I care.

    You have the personality of a moldy toilet.

      Oh I do love a bit of ablelism. I’m clearly mentally ill.

      I have shown you that you can’t tell by looking at the lock.

      I have suggested other locks than electric. Yale, keypad.

      I do not want to replace my lock, I want to add another lock.

      1 abhorrent statement and 3 incorrect statements. Can you admit they’re incorrect?

      Now answer the question, which of the above locks were locked?
