Gender David Copperfield@alice kinda impressed the tape is holding up that well
Veronica Olsen@alice It's the thought that counts. ๐

@alice Is it faster to pick the lock, or to pull the tape. Iโm really not sure.

culpaplex@alice This seems pretty secure as it's probably illegal to remove the tape.

Samantha Rose@alice For a second I thought it was a Masterlock, in which case I think the lock might still be the weaker link than the tape :-).
Capricious Day@samantha42 @alice "this is a master lock. it can be opened by looking at it the wrong way"
TheConstructor (he/him)@samantha42 @alice it's a Master-lock, or am I missing something?
apophis@samantha42 @alice between the hardest to pull off tape and the easiest to pick lock is a pretty significant overlap
@samantha42 @alice (cutting the tape is another matter entirely)

I have bolt cutters that will make short work of that padlock.

The security is based on the nearly invisible tape application.
So you only have a chance with your reading glasses on.
That is something.

ะฏร81ะ@alice That noise you can hear is the lock picking lawyer, showing us how you can open that thing with a milk carton!
Alireza@alice hello this is the lockpicking lawyer, today we want to break in with scissors...
๐จ๐ฆTom - Crinstam Camp๐จ๐ฆ@alice Even if it was attached properly and had an actual good lock, it's on glass doors, so none of it would ever make it secure from someone who wanted in and didn't care about breaking the law. As it is, it would stop anyone who did care about breaking the law, at a much lower cost than doing it 'properly'.
At least there's not a sign that says "Please don't break in." Lol
EndlessMason@alice Thanks for the report, we'll need some time to triage.
Lapisdecor@alice it look like Windows 11
Wobin@alice This is a Master Lock 141 Key Padlock, It can be opened with a Master Lock 141 Ke... oh wait

๐จ๐ฆ CowMan ๐ช๐บ ๐บ๐ฆ ๐ฒ๐ฝ@alice it's possible, perhaps probable, the tape is just hold things in place while the wood glue sets - but left in place after, as security by layers is just good practice.
Renalia - #1 pizza downloader@alice i am so upset by this on multiple levels. i just... god...
shoutouts to that tape for holding that shit together tho. you could probably get better security just TAPING the whole cabinet shut instead.

Ellie@alice that's a reusable tamper seal.
Code of Amor ๐@alice @alexadeswift Master. The most humorous lock of choice. The locksporter's warmup.
Instant Arcade@alice The master lock is easier to defeat than the tape
Mixel@alice i like it!๐๐ง๐คช๐๐คฃ
Querral Navigation System@alice Even funnier is that it probably works, creating the appearance of being locked to deter casual opportunists.
Enema Cowboy@alice Real security professionals would have used duct tape.
Not a Spring Onion@alice Germany: "If you remove this in any way, you are breaking the law the because you are 'breaking in'."
Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)@alice Reminds me of the "lock" my grandparents had.

zenmaster@alice How much were they asking for the (under lock and tape) "Vintage Donald Duck with Pluto Rubber toy car"??! Where is that picture? How is nobody asking about this? Did they also have an armed guard? Asking for a friend.
isolI came here to wonder if the Donald Duck contents were what was protecting the lock, by making potential thieves reevaluate their life choices.

Julien Goodwin@vik @alice I've basically done that, a few years ago our security group had a toolbox padlocked as a challenge, if you picked it open you got schwag, one afternoon I was early for a meeting just where it was and lazily picked it, opening it easily enough, then immediately locked it again which got me weird looks from the security people surprised I didn't care about their scwag

[Yaseenist] CauseOfBSOD@alice i think only lockpickinglawyer would attack the lock directly, and that would just be to spite master lock
then he would pull the tape off
CHB@alice Amazing!
Is this the Schrรถding Lock? Like it is locked at the same time as it isnโt lockedโฆ ๐คฏ๐ฅณ
Alnakar ๐จ๐ฆ@alice I know I'm supposed to be offended that it's held together with tape, but I'm far more offended by the fact that it's held together with two different kinds of tape.
myrmepropagandistLocks aren't just physical obstructions they are also a kind of communication.
This says "I would be as mad at you as a robber if you opened this"
It could work if everyone cares.

I was in a store the other day with one of those stupid hang tag locks on something I wanted to buy. The package was cardboard.๐ Took a lot less time to rip the package than it would have taken to find an employee to unlock it.

sortius@alice yeh, why would you use a Master Lock? So easy to pick ๐๐

Paul Fenwick@alice : I genuinely love this sort of security. It feels polite. "You can open this, but I'd prefer you not to."
My suburb is filled with hatches to residential water meters, protected by a single Philips-head screw. It stops bored kids on the way to school.
I have a friend with a festival bike "locked" with a chain, a padlock on the end of that chain, and a quick-release carabiner to hold them together. It's not to prevent theft, it's to prevent someone accidentally grabbing the wrong bike.

@alice this is _amazing_ :D
OK. People laugh at this. But sometimes a lock isn't about keeping people out. It's a sign that says "I want people to stay out"
I have a "locked" box on my desk with the best snacks, emergency candy, the *good* red pens, the juicy whiteboard markers, that fancy Japanese chalk that never squeaks, white out and other goodies other teachers "borrow"
But with the "lock" (Which is a twist tie through the lock hole) they no longer do by breaking it they must admit they are annoying me.

Apparently an image of two human eyes will do the same thing? Simply the idea, no matter how abstract, that someone knows you opened the box?
