Used to work at a pretty secure place. Each button had a small screen on it, and the numbers were randomized. So apparently this is an actual concern.
Bonus: Address of the building is 1790.
Plot twist : code is 8253, … and prints are false flags :o)
This works.
In Eve Online there was this big war, and a big ship was being built in some station. So everyone gathered around the station to protect it, and of course the enemy came after it. A huge battle ensued and in the end the station was destroyed successfully.
Except the ship wasn’t in that station, it was being built at another station, the defenders just mislead them by protecting a random empty station. The ship finished its construction later that month.
Shit like this makes me wish I had a headstart on PC gaming. That stuff sounds so fun to take part in
I mean, EVE hasn’t gone anywhere, it still has a large and active playerbase, there’s nothing stopping you from joining now.
That’s definitely the worst keypad wear I’ve ever seen :D
They actually make versions these days where a display randomises the numbers, so that it doesn’t form a discernible wear pattern.
Of course, you do have to wonder if this is actually a thing to be worried about, or rather something we all ‘know’ from spy movies. Usually the easiest way to bypass these is to just walk in after someone…

I used to geocache a LOT years ago, don’t do as much now. But it was crazy how much people would ignore whatever weird thing you were doing if you had a high-vis vest, clipboard, and hardhat. I used to joke you could damn-near walk in anywhere and nobody would blink.
