Kind of meta, but does anybody remember garage door openers back in the day? My family had one for which the "security" consisted of an 8-bit "key," as in, the remote had 8 jumpers, and the lift unit had 8 DIP switches. You'd cut jumpers in a certain pattern, and flip the switches to match. What was fun was seeing how many garage doors around town we could open using the default pattern.

Smart locks have got to be at least a slight improvent, right?
