[1117] A Bicycle “Do Not Disturb” Sign: Uläc Brooklyn U-Lock Picked FAST

[@АринаИванова-с2б]

undamaged packaging somehow makes it more humiliating

[@therealjimmywebb]

The company should remove the diaeresis (two dots) over the "a" in their name. So instead of being pronounced "u-loc" it can be pronounced "u-lac" as in "You Lack Security".

[@johndododoe1411]

Except that in languages commonly using "ä", it is pronounced more like the E in belch.

[@Viewer19]

Not a diaeresis usage which denotes a separate sound for the vowel as in Chloë Chlo E but a Germanic umlaut which shifts the sound from a to o Both are diacritics and your correction is correct U-LaC

[@gab2364]

They do exactly that in their website: www.ulaclock.com/products/brooklyn

[@KarlEchtermeyer]

@@Viewer19 not a to o. Ä is pronounced like E in German and like the a in ash in most Scandinavian languages. I’m unaware of any where it goes from an a to an o sound. That’s not to say it couldn’t happen, but that actually goes the opposite of what the umlaut does in every case I’m aware of. The spelling they have is actually close to “you lack” than it would be without the umlaut. It definitely wouldn’t be “lock” in any of the languages I know that use ä as a character.

[@timmcdaniel6193]

This 1:43 video, when shown to me, was preceded by an Altor SAF ad for maybe 15? seconds, and after, an over 3-minute ad. Ads almost double the length of the video. Altor SAF was picked in video 1088, ixPFDFp8Cfo. But it took a sonic screwdriver, and LPL said that it was indeed "one of the most theft-resistant locks money can buy".

Waste of resources? Lol, humans are incredible at doing that. Do you know the biggest, under rated, LEGAL scam of all time? The banks changing paper money notes every couple of years. Why do they that? Because it stops people hoarding cash (perfectly legal, if you dont want a bank account, but the system forces you to have one) they change the notes, with a time limit to cash them in, after thar your old notes (perhaps you abject to having a bank account and want to store in cash your hard earned money) your old notes are useless and no longer legal tender. As much as 60 million paper money notes are in circulation at any time, how many trees do you think it took the time to grow and cut to do that unnessecarily?! Its also annoying for businesses to update their machines. Yet that is just tip of the iceberg Where i work, hundreds of computers on standby for at least 13 hours, they cannot physically turn the power off in unused buildings because it was wired in that way. Since the virus hit, we found the lights will stay on 24.7 if no one activates them (they are automatic) when the canteen was open, everyday a fresh delivery of food, with at least quarter tonne of perfectly edible food every WEEK thrown away! What about big trawling nets in the ocean fishing, millions of fish are not sold/wasted because they catch too many and kill too many I could come up with 20 different examples. The waste in this world is horrendous but worst still - unnessecary

[@thoperSought]

0:27 _"... few people even lock their bikes at all."_ so, in my experience *most* people lock their bikes, but not in a way we'd call locking a bike anywhere else: the most common thing is a lock bolted to the seat stays, with a shackle that goes between the spokes of the rear wheel. not locking the bike TO anything, and they aren't very secure even with that. but that's Japan. most houses over a certain age have bars on the windows, but the bars are softwood, held on with a single nail in the top and in the bottom. slightly newer houses have bars that are aluminum, held down with a single rivet, top and bottom. both could pretty easily be pried off by hand. new houses usually have roll-down shutters that would actually take some effort to get through.

[@johndododoe1411]

Those chasis mounted wheel locks are the standard insurance requirement in parts of Europe that have enough bike theft that the most important lock feature is the receipt for the insurance claim. Bike theft here is a random mix between (drunk?) people randomly stealing a bike for a single trip or 2 and wholesale thiefs grabbing entire bike racks with all attached bikes into their trucks, then taking them across state borders for sale. First type is stopped by any competent lock, second type only by police pursuit and traffic stops of suspect vehicles.

Contrary to what you said LPL, Japan has a very high bike theft problem to the point you can get randomly stopped in the streets on a bike just to check whether the bike is yours or not. However it is true that it is a country where people trust others more, and thus tend not to lock them.
