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?

    Just like "smart" TVs, I really wish phones with slide-out keypads were more easily and readily available. I find so many bazinga "conveniences" a hassle or worse.

            The Borg were capitalists all along. Individuality and free choice was reserved for the ruling class and its whims and the drones only existed to serve those whims. surprised-pika

        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.
