The internet is down... well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

All hardware people buy smart locks because they know locks are super easy breakable and pickable.

All software people buy keys, since they know software has bugs and you can get in easily.

So what are you?

My goal has always been to have a better lock than the neighbours

I'm on team "I'm definitely going to forget to lock my doors so it's probably worth the decrease in security to ensure that they're at least locked when I leave the house."

I'm also on team it'd be easier to just smash the window while I'm at work than learn how to pick a lock.
