They said they got rid of standard fobs because of people apparently lose them often, but it have never once lost mine, yet I've had two phones kick the bucket on me, multiple times where my battery died, and a few times where it got softbricked after a failed update. Just this week I had the app reset itself after an overhaul, making me go through the setup process again while standing outside in a heatwave. Given that I'm especially heat sensitive, I'm surprised I didn't pass out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children) You can also do NFC cards where you have the option to put them into your phone. The cards are super cheap, less than 50 cents per. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cyberfae@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 child) I actually brought it up, and they said that people would just lose those too. Then they said that the only way going forwards was still an ios or android app. They said if it dies then it's my fault and that I'll just be locked out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago ugh. I think the scariest part of our dystopia is how as dystompic as it is at any point you find out a new dystopic thing (this is new for me). I mean even with the keyfob/card its recording every time you enter and leave. permalink fedilink source parent
