Nice, don't see too many of these high-security Japanese penis keys in the wild.

The idea of censoring key teeth is both hilarious and terrifying.

Honest to god, my brother works in locksmithing. I moved states and needed to get a copy of the old house key to my realtor ASAP and did not want to travel or mail it - took a picture for my brother and he was able to make a working key with just the photo.

Shit's crazy these days. My favorite "they can do that now?!" is from a 2014 article where MIT researchers videoed a bag of potato chips in a soundproof room and used the vibrations from the bag to recreate the sound.

FWIW, the sound they are recreating is a conversation held near the bag not the bag itself crinkling.

Irs early and I haven’t had coffee yet. I had to look it up.

Friend of mine demonstrated at a tech conference obtaining fingerprints from photos. Example was a someone giving a political speech, hand held up at the right angle and a powerful enough camera.

So Musk's salute was really just a demonstration of DOGE's transparency?

[–] Diplomjodler3 16 points 21 hours ago

But very necessary in this day and age.

[–] Valmond 11 points 20 hours ago

They got Merkels fingerpring from a photo.

That's impressive IMO.

It was a picture of a broken key and a new replacement key.

I am not sure why OP deleted it and all their comments… seemed like a perfectly fine post to me.

[–] breadsmasher 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

you broke a key, handed it in, got a new one?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 22 hours ago

Context? Also this looks like a hyperpop album cover

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Thats not the right keyblank…… the broken one looks like an sc1 or a y-11 and the little one looks like a y-1/m-1 for master locks.

[–] SirSamuel 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you're wrong in my field of expertise

Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I'm not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I'd have to say it's probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I'm 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master's m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn't y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage's SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.

My bad. You’re probably correct considering its been 8 years since I've cut any keys. But i did have about a decade and a half of key cutting experience. I used to be able to cut 3 keys at a time if the chuck would open wide enough mostly just with the wr-1/kw-1/ar-1 and sc-1 blanks. I don't miss finding those damn brass shards in my feet after work though

I did clarify in another comment that it did look like an assa key after this comment. Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.

Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.

I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I've had plenty in my hands
