This seems to be for people who have Touch ID turned on, but want to avoid being forced to open up their phone in the event of an arrest. Making it extremely quick to turn off Touch ID and accessible from the lock screen is important in those cases.

If I remember correctly, they can't force you to edit your settings or input your passcode, but they can force you to use your fingerprint.

I think it means that you HAVE to input the passcode if you do that — which means that the authorities can't force you to unlock the phone.

could you be even more incompetent at damage control

that's so fucking depressing

yup, they said 2-3 weeks yesterday

christ, this whole exercise is just so insulting. they know they're not going to do anything to make it more usable, because kinja was specifically designed to keep communities like this from emerging. so they just bring in the tech dudes to lie about it

they don't care — obviously there's some cash to be saved via corporate synergy, and I understand that. Commenters are a very small portion of the pageviews.

I loved when Alt-POTUS staff said that "there's no way flynn leaves" three hours before flynn resigned.

See, I don't think "good, dumb fun" is a good description either. That's like, a comic book movie or something. Scarface is much cleverer than that, the choices de Palma makes are well-considered while still being totally left-field, the sense of humor is fantastic and pitch-dark, and the aesthetics are some of my…

Meanwhile, I'm mystified by the lack of respect it gets from Serious Film People. It's ridiculously fun, it's weird as hell, the stylishness is so strong. It's a legitimately great film.
