It doesn't work for shit, even if I placed many different finger scans originally to identify me.
Edit: What's the use of giving up some DNA info, that'll prbly be sold to 23&me, if it doesn't work for shit, is this a scam?
Oh... fuck, at least my print doesn't work well...
Your biological and technological distinctiveness will adapt to service Capital. Resistance is fetishized into a commodity.
especially in cars. dials and buttons you can operate without taking your eyes off the road, but not a touchscreen
fuckin Teslas are garbage
I've used a stovetop that had a touch screen in a rich person's house I was house-sitting for once.
It was awful. I like being able to quickly snap to a different heat because it gives you more control. This thing took so fucking long and if you had cold hands it refused to listen.
I've heard they're switching to touchscreens bc physical buttons need to be custom built and manufactured for each vehicle but you can just slap an ots screen in there and do everything in software and just hope it doesn't crash much, so you can shave a few pennies off the cost of the vehicle. I hate it. Touchscreens are horrible outside a few select applications. When you combine them with a real keyboard they're acceptable but I'd still rather have some kind of mouse input with the touchscreen as an option.
I just like having the homerow key bumps. Makes it much easier to type without having to look over.
I just got this thing so I can continue to have a physical keyboard out of sheer bloodyminded obstinacy.

Yes I want my telephony device to also contain my biometrics that sounds great
Wait til you hear about driver's licenses and passports /s (Seriously, tho, what do you expect from the average nobody, who uses apps, regardless of their third-party data selling?)
I expect people to require more than a coerced thumbprint to unlock a personal device yes I know it's too much 😭
I just think of it as an convenience that doesn't work, not a necessity, considering I know my PINs.
Yeah I don't want mine storing fingerprints/data points/face scans at all

The fingerprint login when they had fingerprint readers was amazing. The new ones on screens are hot garbage. Give me my dedicated fingerprint reader and my headphone jack back for fucks sake
Well my phone has a headphone jack but I can't browse hexbear on it - so it's a tradeoff I guess.
My friends keep telling me "oh the market decided that we need smooth blobjects with no standard inputs and shitty touchscreens" and I'm like bro. bro. Marketing, monopoly, walled gardens, etc did that. I'm sure consumer choice had a role, but the two real phone companies did everything they could to minimize costs and maximize profits by herding people in to a more narrow and narrow device space.
i liked the old xiaomis with the reader on the back right where you would put your index finger
Android has a "lockdown mode" you can enable that disables fingerprint unlock. But you have to do it before you're arrested. Personally I think it would be better if you could register a lockdown finger
I've never set it up. What, you're telling me someone can just cut off my finger and use it to gain access to my premium meme stockpile? No thank you. Next you're going to tell me you use eyeball recognition! So insecure.
Try adding the same fingerprint again, that made mine much more responsive
If you have a two-factor login with both a password & a biometric login, that would be pretty secure, as you can't brute force biometrics, but obviously biometrics alone is pretty unsecure since someone (like the police) can just slam your thumb into the screen to force you to unlock it.
you can't brute force biometrics
Biometrics are more than usually susceptible to rubber hose cryptography.
