Hot diggity that's a sweet machine- keys for car and cdr! I want one really badly, but I know it'll just sit in a drawer, because 90s tech just isn't gonna hold up for practical use.
I have one of the old blue keys. Never found a good use for it. I don't have my keys with me at my desk, so I never put it on my keychain. So then it's just laying around and gets shuffled of the desk and into a drawer.
Meanwhile, my phone is always near and bitwarden just works.
Not to mention the fact that there are many mundane tools that could be used to copy car keys, from the archaic hammer/forge to the modern camera/CNC mill.
Regular people have been carrying house keys and/or car keys around for practically their entire lives. A physical key for their computers wouldn't be weird, except it's different than what they're used to.
Please yes. Traditional keys fit on my keyring, can survive the clothes washer, don't unlock doors by accident, can open a car with a dead battery, don't have their own battery issues, and can be brought into restricted work environments where radio transmitters are banned.
I want key holes in all doors. I want to insert a key to start the car.
Before luddites get in arms about "This would never happen with normal keys" ... Nothing stopping someone from making a copy of the keys _after renting the car_ and coming back later to use them.
