  • Apple reportedly testing in-screen Touch ID for the next iPhone

    roakeroake
    I wear a mask all day.  Face ID is great, but useless with the mask.  The return of Touch ID would be SO NICE...

    I would like to see security options that could allow requirements for both Touch and Face ID (and possibly passcode), combinations of these, or none of them (security off).

    I also want to see a “poison finger” option where, if a certain finger is used on the fingerprint scanner, the phone is disabled and wiped.

    This feature would grant additional flexibility and choices, which I think is always good.

    Could they make AirPod Pros that don’t cause severe chemical burns/allergic reactions inside my ear after 1-2 hours of use? 
    It’s possible you have defective ears.  If you would just pull out your phone and ask Bixby to recommend an ointment...

    Can they be sued for that? Selling a product that you later find out was intentionally hobbled?
    While I suppose people can sue for anything, I think the spirit of the answer is no.  The original device met the specifications it was advertised with.  The fact that it had an underlying inactivated graphics core should be legally irrelevant.  Perhaps the had cooling or other issues with the overall design when that core was active.

    No matter what the system is, from taxes to patents to college admissions to product warranty claims to insurance claims to ... whatever, smart and/or devious people always find a way to game the system to their advantage. It’s a survival trait that’s deeply baked into the human condition. Whether it’s good or bad depends on which side of the exploitation equation you find yourself living on. Sometimes you’re the mole and sometimes your the mole whacker. 
    It’s not baked into the human condition or everyone would do it.  It’s baked into the capitalist “self interest” doctrine.  Humans are the most profoundly cooperative and social species on the planet. And then there are a small minority of intra-species predators who vary in number from society to society.  How to cure it?  Firstly, eliminate the primary cause: deprivation or the threat of it without wealth. Cause even if you can pay your bills today who says you won’t be destitute tomorrow.  The ethos and inertia doesn’t go away even with great wealth.   That is is the SOCIAL condition from which this sort of behavior springs.  People need a basic level of security and we live in a time of super abundance and waste that could easily be marshaled to ameliorate this.
