From https://twitter.com/LockPickingLwyr/status/1007613178249965569/:
"The company that sent me the pictured fingerprint lock has provided the security quote of the year: “...the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”"
@noelle @keiyakins that's a Torx screw. It's pretty common, especially with watchmakers.
@polychrome @noelle @keiyakins Hence the sarcasm tag. 
@noelle ..... how much money did they spend designing this??? 😂
@noelle Well, they're not wrong....
Oh wait, bolt cutters.
@Rosemary @noelle this too. Though thinking that star head screws would suffice as a mechanical security measure is... pretty poor show from the company in the first instance too. But also the bolt cutters thing, even more so. Seriously why would anybody think a finger print scanner padlock is any more secure than a regular one??
@Rosemary @noelle again though, how do you charge it? when it's not in use do you gotta plug it in? leaving the thing it's attached to unlocked?? if the battery runs out it's stuck forever in the locked position requiring either a really long charge cable and an extension lead at least for several hours to get it charged again, or again, bolt cutters. e_e; In their quest for techy "convenience" they've actually lessened it. omg. how are corps like this??
@Nine @Rosemary @noelle Master Lock makes Bluetooth ones that can be unlocked with a smart phone, though it’s probably little more secure than the finger print, but at least their locks can’t be opened with a star drive screwdriver, lol. It also has some secondary way to open to change the batteries if /when they die.
@noelle This is the equivalent of a heavy-duty padlock on a pool-building with milk-carton-grade plastic handles.
@noelle "againsting"? 
@noelle all computer networks are secure against people who do not have computers
@noelle lmao is this the same lock as this?

@noelle contemplate the lockless lock and be enlightened
@noelle GAH! obscure screw types! My one weakness!
@noelle To be fair, it would also be a deterrent to those people that do own a torx screwdriver, but would have to walk to the other room to get it.
@noelle Then again, if someone is carrying a torx in their pocket, under UK law, they could be done for "going equipped". But, if that lock is really secure..I will dance in the middle of the local town square stark-bollock naked.
@noelle that looks an awfu lot like this crappy lock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxM55DNS9CE
@noelle But they're using a weird bit, that makes it totally secure right? /s
