Philips created a new smart lock that doesn’t require a key or a code — all you need is your hand. The company showed off its new $359.99 Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt during CES 2024, which comes with a built-in palm scanner that unlocks your door when it detects your unique palm print.
Interesting…but not a super helpful feature for places like here where we wear gloves outdoors for like 5 months of the year.
Same for this wild-looking lock! I wonder how it does with scarves and winter hats.
Luckily I think both locks also have Apple Home Key support among other entry options, so this is tongue-in-cheek. It looks like 2024 is going to be a good year to get in on a smart lock. I’ve been patiently waiting!
@jarrod Ooof that’s concerning. Not everything needs to be “smart”. Look at what happened in Facebooks data centre last year…
@kev That too. 😬
