MicroSaver Kensington Lock Defeated 5 seconds!

[swantonspear]

@runningcockroach I mean if you're badass enough to track it down yourself and go find whoever has it that's fine but the technology is supposed to be used by police. In my town, nothing happens. The police get called if the wind blows too hard and makes noise outside. Haha :)

[runningcockroach]

these are good to deter "thefts of opportunity". like if u leave the room, and someone happens to see your notebook, they prolly dont have wire cutters on them.

[MrZer000]

A Kensington lock is not to prevent someone from steeling a notebook itself. Its just making it difficult for people who just walk into a library and take unwatched notebooks.

It will make sure that the bastard cant take it without attracting any attention...

[Soulrider2012]

Kensington locks, like most locks only do 1 thing, keep honest people, honest. They only deter the opportunistic thief who looking for a quick grab and dash. If they really want your laptop they will get it. A simple bolt cutters will cut virtually any kensinigton cable. But, your average thief isn't walking through Barnes & Noble cafe with a bolt cutter looking to steal a laptop off a table where someone got up to get their latte. Your average thief wants the unlocked, unattended laptop.

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

and to think apple use theese on their super expensive swish laptops... haha

[swantonspear]

Buying Lojack is a better deal. Yeah, its a hundred dollars and doesn't physically protect your laptop but if it does get stolen the police can track the Lojack GPS and locate your laptop for you. Kind of like ADT for computers.

[runningcockroach]

@swantonspear what town do you live in where a cop would even answer a call for a stolen laptop?

[Guru4Lock]

OK, clearly this guy knows nothing about locks. Any RETRACTABLE lock has to have a diameter of cable thin enough to be rolled back into its casing, clearly the 2mm - 3mm used on this lock is designed for portability and travel, to be used as a deterrent and guard against opportunistic thieves. If it was any thicker it would not be able to be retracted and the cable would be too tense to roll. Also the fact that he named this HOW TO DEFEAT THE KENSINGTON MICROSAVER LAPTOP LOCK -is utter rubbish

[Acaseofchaos]

A little pair of wire cutters won't cut open their 1/4 inch cable on a few models. And if they see a laptop with a lock on it it would generally be too much work. If i was a thief i'd just steal the ones out in the open.

[dudeproductions100]

kensington locks will scare a robber who knows nothing about computer theft. if they attempt to get the laptop they will succeed.

[heighv]

in vids i watched they don't do that, they just get from ur bag when ur bag is right beside u, right just under ur chair in a restaurant, very creepy,,,,lol

[norxcontacts]

Next time cut it with your teeth.

[Ipodtouchmaniac100]

6 seconds actually! lol

[SeanTheAppleDude]

At the Apple Store, they have kensington locks. Search “Apple store sagemore robbery” to see thieves break these instantly.

[Ashtray1394]

"epic win face" Sweet....lol

[gwgwgw1010]

I tried with the same lock, I couldn't cut the cable.

[SeanTheAppleDude]

@gwgwgw1010 weak

[empireravenshadow5]

what the hell? the lock still remains in the laptop, hows a thief supposed to sell it then?

[akkudakkupl]

@empireravenshadow5 4 digits... not a big problem to try all the combinations when you can take the laptop with yourself.

[02stv]

Fake

[pendejadafcc]

Kensington is a fucking joke. I wouldn't be surprised if thieves have been found dead during burglaries after laughing so hard at the owner's pathetic security attempt.

[fireisgreat]

there crap locks but their still stupidly expensive.

[ScottHastings91]

LOL im going uni and i thought yeh this looks good....now all my hope is basically gone because to be fair, how fucking easy is that. FFS. Good video though

[jason4275]

that was fucking funny

[HotaruZoku]

Let it never be said that the direct way isn't entertaining.

[ryandardis]

you do realise that if you cut the wire it sets off the alarm?Fucking dipshit,I'm a qualified locksmith and I know that the only way to crack one of those without setting off the alarm is to crack the combo.

[StaplesGroup]

Dude. There's no alarm in that style lock. The big part is just where the wire has an internal spool for easy storage.

[hellbent345]

exactly

[hellbent345]

lol and as a qualified locksmith you dont know that this type of lock is mechanical security not electrical - there is no alarm in that lock.

[ryandardis]

There's an earth wire running through the cord,if you cut it it breaks the circuit and sets off an alarm,in this case he did not have it wired up.Stop pretending you know stuff that you don't.

[hellbent345]

no there isnt! stop pretending ur some master locksmith yourself! this lock is merely thin wire filaments twisted into a thicker wire - what exactly is it going to earth 2? in the form it is in ther, it is simply a long wire! if u think that wire is thick enough to hold a circuit (because an earth is impossible, what if it attaches to a plastic/non conductive surface) and plastic non conductor between the circuit, and still be strong enough to provide mechanical security, you are sadly mistaken.

[hellbent345]

and where do u propose the alarm bell itself is located? cos the barrel of the lock is the same size as the combination rings on it. no room for any other circuitry.

[asswhole239]

hes right at school the teachers have these on there laptops and some one tried to steal one with scissors and an alarm went off, we thought it was the fire alarm lol

[hellbent345]

no, ur teacher had the alarmed kensington, this is just a basic mechanical wire anchor, its not large enough to have the alarm in it - check out the kensington website. There is a whole alarmed range, but this is the simple strong wire kind.

[hellbent345]

oh and one final thing, kensington DO provide alarmed locks, but these have thicker cables as there is a CIRCUIT in them, but these are permanently wired, and if the wire is cut at any time, the alarm goes off. check out their product range buddy.

[Krisspychiken]

ROFL theres an earth wire!??! so you have to, no matter what, lock this to the ground?

your an idiot speakers on a lock? fucking moron

go stick your brain in a power point and touch the earth

[hellbent345]

lol well said

[boonpaLindved]

lol... n1

[bholdwick]

Many videos show fake ways of surpassing a lock....This is one I believe to be true. Good Job. Must have been a Gerber!

[arghPeteyPirate]

i love you, a little more now.

[john1230]

Good job. That's the way to open a lock.

[Tennouhai]

Safe.

[JesusROX9501]

omg wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[enya54321]

you can break into my lock anytime you want

[hiimpaulkim]

you can cut my cherry anytime ^^

[wallpaperkilla]

oh your cherry was cut 10 years ago

[petestrux]

sweet...dry humor!

[choclateswirl]

smart and gorgeous, u can break my lock any time

[tyutyu123454]

I don't think you have much place calling anyone an idiot until you can spell at a 4th grade level.

[wallpaperkilla]

you should not use contractions.

[zigsauer]

Fucking Gordian Knot

"What cant be unbindet can be Sliced"

[kyleen66]

Thanks for the good laugh! The "sweet" at the end was the best part!

[mtsr81]

So if someone breaks a window in your house and gets in a steals your stuff, it is because the window was defective??

[tyutyu123454]

Shit analogy - If someone breaks a window in your house with such a minimal amount of effort, you DO have poor windows.

[mtsr81]

Because it would take so much effort to throw a rock through a window...use your head.

[tyutyu123454]

A rock wouldn't break my windows.

[mkultra2300]

Some ladies were outside my shop and one started leaning against the large glass window store front. When I heard a creaking noise coming from the glass I politely asked her to stop leaning against it as it isnt safe. I was told I needed to upgrade to stronger glass so people could lean on it! Retarded bitch

[PhoenX]

Yeah, that IS a bad analogy. Standard windows are not security devices. Now, if you paid a bunch of money for shatterproof windows (the kind with metal mesh in them) only to find the whole frame could just be unscrewed, you'd have every right to be pissed.

[jonathanalexand]

That's why I take the laptop everywhere, even the crapper.

[Maux93]

is it weird to be talking to someone on MSN when yer taking a shit?

hmm, always provoked my thoughts...

[wmashda3000]

lol whats the point?

[MagGray]

love this vid

[japanultra]

Thanks for showing us how to cut a thin portable version of the lock, look forward to seeing your next video cutting a thick office use version!

[smlcoop]

It is unbelievable that people pay so much money for so little security.

[galou522]

Haha
