Mikayla has passed away. Ethan made a statement.
SaveAFox will be holding a celebration of life on July 12. The fundraiser is still active to help the remainder of the 500 foxes from the farm.

Also, here’s a good visual demonstration of how they work: https://youtu.be/aKK6tlvxios.
You present your access card to the reader, it scrambles the location of the numbers across the pad several times, then stops on a final location for all the numbers.
That’s also where I’d fumble by getting an anxiety spike seeing the numbers move rapidly and forgetting / mistyping the PIN xD
Okay so like.. anyone else had the (dis)pleasure of working in a building with one of these fucking things? XD
For those that don't know, it's a Hirsch ScramblePad reader!
When you scan your access card, the pad lights up and rapidly randomizes all the numbers on the keypad several times before giving you a final layout to use to enter your PIN.
They also had an extremely small viewing window that meant anyone not immediately in front of the keypad (or standing to the side) /shouldn't/ be able to see the numbers on the pad, thus shouldn't be able to figure out your PIN.
Hoooowever, at least for myself, I couldn't ever successfully enter my PIN on the first go from fumbling reading the numbers properly XD
When I was in high school, Mythbusters was the only notable example I could point to of nerds being "cool".
(This was a time when you were made fun of for liking anime or being more into books than gossip.)
You can hear Adam hold back tears of joy at several moments in the video.
In the middle of this section about connecting the R36S to WiFi…
“garbage is chicken ribs”
"Report all foreign invaders."
We are not Nazi Germany. Do not comply. Do not collaborate with this fascist administration.
Fuck this. Fuck Trump. Fuck the Republican Party for endorsing this domestic terrorism and nazi bullshit.

@crashdoom If you want another random idea I had seeing these: Why not make every key a fingerprint reader, and only take keypresses on a match?
I'd build one myself but I don't think I can get clear fingerprint reader modules anywhere to do it with x3
@crashdoom I’ve never seen that but it’s really cool actually
Normally stuff like this is kinda security theatre-y and provides a minimal benefit for the hassle but this seems like a genuinely good idea that actually addresses an otherwise piss-easy attack without that much hassle
I’m definitely not saying every building should have one of these but it’s nice to see a security product with a gimmick that makes some sense actually. :3
@TheMNWolf @tisha Bingo! Keypad wear is a HUGE indicator of a commonly used access code.
If you’ve ever seen those metal push button door locks that have two rows of numbers / letters, usually on a common staff room door, you can figure out the code by checking the wear of the buttons.
If it’s loose / worn, probably part of the code (or at least a common one).
If you find 4 worn common pads, you might have all the digits of the code, just need the order :p
@crashdoom there are a few doors I deal with regularly that have these.
My annoyance is that the bottom left and right keys don’t illuminate, but I am supposed to press # when I’m done entering my code.
