How do you expect mechanical machines to work without a shitty electron app that takes a gig of storage

For some reason this company's lockers work via Bluetooth and they lack the keypad and screen where you'd enter the code you got via SMS

Break into the locker and take your shit lmao wtf who do they think they are

I think I'd actually call the cops if I couldn't break into the locker and make somebody explain to the cops why my stuff is behind a lock

You'd need to crowbar all of them since you don't know which specific locker your package is in until you punch in the code, or in this case, your phone connects to it via Bluetooth which is when your door opens

I can't imagine a cop spending doing anything about it besides arresting you for trying to break into it.

They'll just use their magic words that get them out of protecting anyone but the bourgeoisie, "It's a civil matter".

The excessive usage of apps for everything is unbearable

I get that the alternative for every brand having an app is to go back to websites and fake websites and your boomer relatives getting scammed out of their life savings because they logged on to bank.net.re instead of bank.com.

But they had it coming, let there be websites again.

Old apartment had this shit. It ends up turning into a room full of mail from various residences that takes like 30 minutes to shuffle through

Epitome of something that only exists to solve the problem it creates

I lived in an apartment with a similar setup. But they had these like Xbox video bar things I don't remember what they're called and they would keep track of everything in the room so you would receive a picture of exactly where your stuff is and it would let you know if you grabbed the wrong package it was pretty neat

Shit that’s actually a good use of this kinda tech lol you should’ve seen the state of these “luxury lockers” around the holidays at my apartment

Unless you need that shit tell the place you need a refund as it wasn't delivered

A friend owed me money for a t-shirt. He sent me money through his bank’s proprietary app. If I wanted my money, I not only had to download the app but give them my bank account info. I told him to either just pay me cash or forget about it.

This is a double slap in the face to Ted Kaczynski.
