@fabienmarry @kagihq The "Gen Z" translator is pretty good as well!

@alice I know, and I assume you didn't exactly buy them.

@alice I only just had a closer look at those locks, not gonna ask where you got them from (I have literally bags full of that specific kind myself from late night strolls during COVID lockdowns).

@alice I see a webcam business opportunity for an entirely new kind of audience here, all you need is one of those remote controlled thingies where viewers send money if they want to see the lock get opened.

@alice @briankrebs Thanks for clarifying. The only competition I attended (to watch, not participate) was a key impressioning competition of the local lockpicking club, but it was a very small event and felt more like a family BBQ with four or five participants and the grand prize was a pack of stickers or something. Damn, now I really wanna get out my tools and start picking again.

Anyway, good luck in your record attempt!

@alice @briankrebs Just out of curiosity, in a competition or record attempt, does it matter whether you're single pin picking or raking, are they separate disciplines? And if so how do they verify? Asking because I for example usually start raking/zipping with a flat hook before bothering to fiddle with individual pins, which works for a huge amount of cheapish locks, so technically I'm raking but not using a rake. I'm not planning to compete or anything, I'm just curious if a jury could tell the difference and disqualify me, or if they even care at all.
