No, they are not. There are terrible digital locks as there are terrible mechanical locks. Good digital locks use sound encryption algorithms that makes them incredibly resilient to attacks. You can have digital locks that are not connected to the internet. Makes no sense to hack a physical door you have no access to anyway.

Mechanical locks are so easy to break into with minimal tools. My friend that sells security doors uses digital locks for that reason.

Italy has always been a trend setter. Trump is just a cheap mashup of Berlusconi and Mussolini

People use the term “the West” interchangeably with “US and historical allies after WW2 in Europe and North America that I will pretend are a single coherent block with the same history, social issues, internal affair and foreign policies (the US one) and that I will hate because of war/colonialism/slavery/lgbtq+”

The fact that France, Italy, Denmark, Poland, USA, and Brazil are radically different Western countries is unimportant to most that uses the world “West” in normal conversation.

I do not really care about west being used while geographically makes no sense. We are full of label that makes no sense. I would like at least to have a consistent definition.
