The beginning is so loving funny. The media always calls the election before the official count does (apart from 2000 when it was one incredibly close state).

edit: lmao he shows a stock market chart yet doesn't notice the trajectory was the same under Trump as it was under Obama. This has gotta be a bit I just didn't get.

He has some part of an online storefront for lockpicking tools and going from 'this tool is usually too thick for this' to 'so come on down to covertinstruments and I'll sell you the right ones!' killed me. Video talking about his site here

Releasing the video where he announces the new site and says that the next bunch of videos will be showing off stuff from the site on the same day as the first of those videos was probably a bad idea. Especially since it means that the second one shows up in people’s feeds above the first. I had the same experience and it was kinda jarring.

Apparently he has now retired from law to do lock stuff full time. His channel is really good so I’m glad it’s been such a success for him.

My main takeaway from watching a dozen-or-so LockpickingLaywer videos is that locks are nothing but a fiction humanity collectively agreed to uphold.

Just like passwords locks don't make breaking in impossible, they just make ti take a bit longer and less convenient. The primary purpose of a lock is to keep confused drunks and stupid kids out of your residence. Which they do remarkably well.

A lock acts primarily as a deterrent, oftentimes simply by existing and looking like a lock even if it's a piece of poo poo you could rake open in 2-3 seconds with a properly bent paperclip. Master locks are well known to be complete dogshit but it doesn't really matter in the vast majority of cases where you'd be using one to prevent petty, opportunistic theft. If a guy walks past a bike rack looking for an easy score and sees two bikes: one secured with a $10,000 ultra pick/destruction-proof swiss mega lock, and one with a $10 master lock, they're probably not going to bother with either because they were just hoping to find one not locked up they could ride off on.

Having said that what really scares me is all the gun safes he shows on the channel that are completely an inexcusably compromised.

Yeah, you only really have to worry about the locks where he shows a massive security flaw where you can just pop a part off and it opens. Not so much the ones where he uses some custom built tool that only he and Bosnian Bill have.

I have never known a robbery where lock picking was involved. It's always been kicking down an entrance, forcing the material, open windows, bolt cutters or just not locked at all. Lock picking is a hobby for comfortably middle class people. You never need to ever worry about a lock being picked.

The twitter obsession with follower counts is so bizarre. It’s like everyone is simultaneously chasing fame and contemptuous of the idea of fame. I get that it’s bad if a million anonymous nazis start calling your job or hack your bank account, but who cares if someone has five or a million followers if it’s a twitter account? 90% of it is just hiding from real socialization and wasting time.

It's so weird to me that this is the case, it really feels like she should be pretty far down the list of people to be resigned to the dustbin of history, her videos seem pretty good to me and even when I don't like them or disagree with her takes its not like, the most egregious thing I've ever seen, and she seems pretty willing to revise her position on things?

Like to me a lot of her crappy takes came out of her creating videos throughout her transition and working through poo poo she probably should've worked through on her own rather than via the medium of YouTube, a terrible idea, but also again not the greatest crime ever committed

Oh don't get me wrong she's not some sort of pure internet crime monster or anything. She just constantly pulls poo poo, and then when people rightly criticize her, she reacts really poorly, endlessly. For example: she had known poo poo person Buck Angel in one of her videos, and she ended comparing the people pointing out that he outed one of the Wachowski sisters to doxxers on kiwifarms.

I think she made the point that these people were digging up 17 year old Hollywood divorce drama that has nothing to do with them to own buck and contra by association, which is definitely weird tbh. I don't like buck angel at all and that sounds like it was a truly lovely thing to do but still

I think he's made the point before that he tries to take into account the purpose of the lock when doing an actual review. He usually reserves getting actually mad for terrible gun locks (and there are so many terrible gun locks), or the last time it came up in this thread there was an angry video about a terrible boat or tool trailer lock, since those trailers actually are a big target for theft and need a solid enough lock that takes more than a few seconds to pick.

But it is unnerving to see some "super secure unpickable lock" get defeated in a couple minutes though. But that video was also a crazy turn when it became the equivalent of a hacker releasing a vulnerability.
