    Our dystopia will be full of grays and washed out colors, just as sci fi movies told us it would be.

    Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers. Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black. Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.

    I've used @aaronpk 's Compass + Overland iOS app before but can't remember if it supports live tracking?

    The cool thing about cyberpunk coming true is that we got ALL the cyberpunk futures.

    China: universal surveillance and social control

    America: cool gadgets and staggering inequality

    Russia: shadowy plots, covert ops, and assasins

    Japan: Japan

    Over the past 6 months, I’ve conducted an investigation that has uncovered the most prolific scamming collective currently on YouTube.

    This is incredible! Great job. I was contacted by one of these a few months ago and they did a pretty good job of it.

    Over the next few months, I continued to gain the scammers trust. Eventually, I lied and told him that I was running low on money, and needed to earn some extra cash.

    So I asked him if I could be a part of his scam.

    He said yes.

    That took us a long time too! We went with Schlage Connect in aged bronze. Works with HomeKit.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah and I'm not even talking about the smart lock part yet! There's just lots of types of door hardware and different options for quick opening and deadbolts!

    I've been using that new macOS/iOS feature where you can use your iPhone as a webcam and it's fantastic - quality is absolutely superb

    Makes me wonder why Apple can't ship the iPhone camera built into a MacBook screen. Is the part just prohibitively expensive?

    Yes but have you looked at reinforcement for the door frames, steel is your friend
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm actually leaning towards electronic door strikes, since that provides the best UX when the power fails or the whole system is down, it just turns into a regular keyed door lock

    Smart lock deadbolts with passage levers for the entry mechanism!
    Aaron Parecki
    I actually really don't like smartlock deadbolts, because it takes more power to physically move the deadbolt so the battery life is worse. I want it to be hardwired to mains power. (with battery backup and physical key secondary backup of course)

    My personal preferences are

    Nothing electronic.
    Locking deadbolt.
    ANSI/BHMA grade 2 or better.
    Security plate for deadbolt strike.
    Non-locking knob/lever (can't lock yourself out).

    for exterior? that's interesting, I'm almost the complete opposite

    Important questions: do you have animals, and if so how good are they at turning doorknobs and door levers?
    Aaron Parecki
    we have a cat and she currently has not figured out how to operate the door levels.

    but I'm actually more concerned about exterior doors at the moment. I'll be freaking out about the interior doors in a couple months.

    I recently learned there are “Norman doors”. Look it up if you haven’t heard of them.

    ohh yeah I swear someone did a whole conference talk about the analogies of door UX and software UX

    I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work
