That's how my apt door smart lock works. There's no keyway to pick or bump. It's a momentary clutch operated electrically that grabs the bolt mechanism. If you want to force your way in, better bring a big ass drill.
It's not magic. Most reputable locksmiths possess roughly these skills to nondestructively open locks for customers. Heck, with the $15k programmer setup, I can make you an infinite number of Mercedes key fob copies too.
A friend of mine got his $5k bike stolen in the middle of downtown Mountain View in plain sight.
If you don't use something like an ABUS 37/80 + 14KS, your shit is going to get jacked in Oakland because of zillions of thieves with portable angle grinders in backpacks and teams riding around in vans looking for easy marks.
Don't leave anything valuable outside in Oakland unless you want it to disappear because people on drugs are always looking for property to convert into their next fix.
Good luck, naïve foreigner: I don't think you realize or appreciate how violent and unsafe most of Oakland is. You're likely to be robbed at gun- or knife-point by multiple assailants. At least in some other states you're allowed to defend your own life, but not in California.
I have a 4kW standing scooter that I use in another city that goes 50 mph easily. The concept of a power limit is nanny state government control: to hell with that. Scooters have no power restrictions and no limits. I wouldn't take one out on a highway, but anything short of that is fine.
Statistically, helmet wearing in the US encourages drivers to pass wearers at an unsafe distance (too close). They also provide a false sense of security and look stupid. If they were useful, the Dutch would be all over them. Experienced riders with coordination in good urban planning areas don't need them.
Where immutable infrastructure isn't possible, asynchronous configuration management with file and package watching, auto-sharding changes, and auto-retrying binary downloading devoid of excessive runs doing nothing useful except spiking CPU and "broken" runs for dumb reasons like Wi-Fi network changes. Breakage should be limited to a single tree of resources while the rest keeps going. Stupid conf mgmt like Chef explodes at a certain point and usually gives up.
Those who can't tend to hurl negativity and sabotage at those who do.
Or people who are too dumb or lazy to try language X or approach Y (minus fads) tend to reiterate how wonderful their stale way and obsolescence are.
There are people at my work (MAANG) who say Rust is too "esoteric" and "impractical" despite the whole company and industry moving that way, but they're comfortable in just now finding Go and being religious about it, maybe 8 years late to the party that's now over because it's "worse is better" shit in the long term. I'm looking around because I think my team is doomed since it lacks coherent leadership (the lead was playing with VR and skipped their own conference), it's full of "senior" people who lack professional career development goals and are uninterested in leveling, they're fine with ignoring software craftsmanship and tech debt, and they don't interact with me with any regularity. I can't get anything done or propose any ideas because the lead looks at me like Tucker Carlson before I can finish a sentence. They don't include me on anything, so I don't know why I'm there.
