There is literally no scenario where you're 40 minutes from breathable air. Air is breathable at 20,000 feet, otherwise the top of Kilimanjaro that I visited last year would have been littered with corpses. That would have made for an exciting climb but it was not the case.

“Get along without you” should always be different from working optimally.

No... strictly speaking, what unlocks the device is your voice saying the hotword. Just because the default word is the same for all devices doesn’t mean that it’s not a combination of both. Just speaking around your device won’t wake it up, so the hotword is critical to the unlock process.

What?

Right, but technically I’d argue you must know the phone’s “hotword” in order to unlock it. That seems like it’d place it in a grey area - it’s biometric access, but it requires knowledge of the unlock phrase. I’m no lawyer, though.

Not at all. Moto’s implementation only lets you do an extremely limited subset of functions without having to unlock your phone using the PIN. The “Trusted” implementation of Google Play Services is an actual bypass of the lock screen.

I wonder if this will be covered under 5th amendment protection, or if it will be similar to fingerprint unlocking?

In my experience, there are a couple major things that can do that...

Shh, don’t talk about #4.

Maybe they could add a small basket to the base that’s just large enough for two oranges.

This is a really important point that I didn't look into before. The terms and conditions are here:

Yes, this applies to store cards (they're just normal credit cards). However, the number at which you have "too many" is probably a lot higher than you'd expect. Three is definitely not correct.

That's pretty good, probably well worth it if you're a heavy Amazon shopper.

Oh, please. That would have been thoughtful and creative and would have required a reasonable amount of actual computer background.

You're right, I'm sure the NSA has the resources to carefully install surveillance electronics in a clean and prompt manner in every single device Cisco ships.

"Literally" isn't a word that you should eliminate from your writing.

You still have your money invested, just not in stocks. Stocks are more volatile and crash faster/harder (of course, they also grow bigger/faster).

Dear Dave,

You failed to understand the entire point of #1.
