[1491] Be Careful What You Wish For: Smonet Smart Lock

[Splicher]

You know a lock is doomed when he takes the waverake

[tsukiiiiiii]

I liked how he picked the lock 4 times instead of the usual 2 just to show how bad it is

To protect the core from raking attacks you can write the combination on the wall next to the door

[TimPoitevin]

Holy crap, Smonet took down the web page for this lock! LPL embarrassed them so bad they had to kill the lock - wow! Hopefully this is a good thing, and Smonet is accepting their defeat and coming up with a more secure lock. Can't wait for Round 2 when they release it!

[siyaneliswashozi]

LPL takes professional roasting to a whole new level. Picks it 4 times in a row for advanced disrespect

[TheBrainK]

The optimistic side in me is hoping that someone at Smonet might have known how bad their products are and might have sent the lock to LPL intentionally to force management to make changes that they themselves were unable to initiate.

"Is there really no such thing as bad publicity? Today on Lock Picking Lawyer we put the theory to the test!" - Smonet, probably

[fallingstar]

One of these days LPL is going to have a completely silent video. 5 seconds for the lock, 5 seconds for the Amazon listing showing the price tag, then a hand comes in from off-screen, sets down a wave-rake, "In any case, that's all I have for you today..."

[kalrandom]

My thanks go out to the person that contacted LPL to review their product. This just shows it takes one person with a conscience to make a difference.

[Waffles]

"One more time to be sure it wasn't a fluke" is LPL's way of saying "That last pick was rookie-tier, I know I can do it faster"

[robertholtz]

Smonet gets an extra two “not a fluke” picks for free since they asked for the spotlight. You’re welcome, Smonet! 🤣

[andrewv]

The engineer sent it to prove to his boss why they need to include a different core at an increased cost.

[davidp]

Every time LPL says “wave rake” it makes me smile because I know what’s going to happen.

[RandyMcNeil]

If someone at Smonet actually sent him or asked him to review the lock, I'll bet it was a whistle blower that just could not believe what they were shipping.

[richiskinner]

LPL: "you do know what i do here, right?"
CEO: "Any publicity is good publicity. Just review it."
LPL fanbase: "We aren't here to see locks succeed, we are here to see them fail. And we are well entertained!"

[Max]

In other news the entire marketing team at Smonet was just laid off for "unrelated reasons" and the CMO tendered his resignation, citing the desire to "persue other opportunities."

[craigw]

"This lock is unacceptable at any price point."
Is he going to bust out a wave rake from the Genesis set?
"I'm going to take a turning tool and wave rake from the Genesis Set..."
Nailed it!

[Dash]

It's amazing how LPL's voice, tone and pitch don't change in his vids which proves his professionalism, but damn if I couldn't hear the disdain dripping from every deadpan word in this particular one.

[CHFFI]

"Today Smonet has asked me to set a new personal record" Now consider how much security their app has.

[HumanityAsCode]

When the waverake comes out I'm always like "Stop the fight, ref! He's killin em!"
