As far as Marriott and MFU vs MF1K…
They started switching to MFU around late 2021 with their new systems. Grounds keys and manager keys… Lock keys too… Most are MF1K still.
You’ll probably see maintenance or management running around with fobs, those tend to be MF1K.
And yes, less frequented and less “risky” Marriott properties that are older may not have transitioned yet due to cost.

I will, I want to know what I can get for what price before I go too deep one way or the other (used/old full size or newer smaller minirack type)
I’m in California, but I travel a lot for work 
That might be handy for us, also been wondering how the data is packaged on the card so the reader knows what key is valid and when it’s valid for.
My understanding is that the reader themselves are not connected to the network, but diagnostic tools can be used to program and pull data from the lock …
Any chance there might be a way to get a few old/out of commission door reader/locks?
(For science 
)
Depends, old as in from the old (MF1K) system, or old as in used MFU?
Update: Will find out within a week
You know how they’ve been using AI to summarize every photo you come across in news articles? Like it shows a photo of Celebrity X and Celebrity Y together, and it’s captioned " A man and a Woman walking down the street looking at baguettes."? Well I just came across one of those “funniest tweets of the week” articles, with AI summaries! Some of the summaries were even significantly longer than the subject tweet. I can’t imagine anyone really thought about this, like who reads a summary of a 160 character pithy statement?
I think the next step is bland AI summaries of bland AI tweets. Given long enough, any attempt at content should just fade away…
I can see it being useful for those with visual impairment
Kind of like descriptive audio for those that are deaf
So if you can’t read the tweet, read the tweet summary 
All your data R belong to us!
currently doing this
but i want to use CUDA supported whisper and it’s… not going well.
This is what we have! The lock definitely sees and rejects my xSIID. Here is the read from the hotel card.
xSSIID cannot emulate mifare classic so it will never work unfortunately 
You will need magic mifare capabilities
I have never found a hotel able to ready my xMagic so I got the UG4 for that application (first real test tonight 
)
I find it hilarious that hotel card vendors are now shipping magic chips instead of legit mifare chips. This is clearly a magic chip as sector 0 is populated with basically nonsense you’d never see in a legit mifare chip.
That’s pretty cool but not worth loosing an eye for…
Ages ago a good buddy of mine dropped a Kseries in his miata. Ran great but it just didnt seem right. Same buddy also put a LS6 in a Fiero. that was a beast.
What wasn’t right about it? I’d love to do an engine swap, but time and money. And maybe a transmission swap at somepoint, I have an automatic 
it didnt seem like it was getting the power that it demanded. Hard to explain. i also was comparing it to the Fiero which i really shouldnt.
He was in love with the Atom Ariel and i think he really wanted soemthing similiar. He now builds cars for Roush
seems like a cool guy, you should get him on here
He just lives the bachelor life and collects clean S2000’s
Tried to get him into implants but he’s not interested
So far I’ve had: A black 92 (NA), a Silver NC (06), a Red ND RF (2017), a pristine Black NA (93) with less than 10k miles on it, and a Soul Red (the ND color) NC Retractable hardtop (2011)
gotta try the NBs it seems you’re dancing around them
