How much do you want to bet that not a single reader or even anyone at Gizmodo is going to follow the instruction of the headline?

What a stupid fucking headline.

It’s... an American website aimed at Americans?

there is absolutely no chance I would turn off either of those things

The inconvenience of not using Face ID far outweighs the chances that I’ll ever be in a situation with law enforcement that they need access to my phone.

I’m not sure what your point is.  Every article isn’t going to be relevant to every reader.  Are you also upset when Giz has an article about XBox, or Tesla, since everybody doesn’t own one of those?

Did they? I only vaguely remember that Mythbusters episode, but I thought they were unsuccessful?

I don’t particularly care about the security on my phone. The only reason I even have a passcode is because certain applications require it (but they have their own security outside of the phone passcode). There isn’t anything confidential anyway. It’s far more convenient to use a finger print than to enter a code so…

snaaaaaap dismiss me i misread your comment

so that anyone lookin over my shoulder can see me enter my code? nooooooooo thank u

Just a factual error in the article - the police didn’t arrest anyone for ‘protesting’ nor were they arrested for openly siding and supporting terrorist groups and spreading antisemitism; they were arrested for inciting violence, harassment, actual assaults, and trespassing on private property.

I guess I’m living under a rock - what’s all this biometrics stuff about and what the hell would a cop want to look at my phone for anyway? I make calls, take pictures and look at my email and occasionally Facebook - none of that is against the law, as near as I can tell . . . 

Payne was on parole. As a condition of parole, he signed a document that contained, among other things-

For those concerned about this, just stop using phones (anything Apple, Samsung, etc), alexa (anything Amazon), Chrome, IE, Android Auto, Apple Car Play...so on and so forth.  There are some folks in Pennsylvania that can help bring you up to speed.

I understand why legal experts are concerned about biometric access, but to tell people to disable biometric locks on their devices is fundamentally bad security unless they’re using an actual password - not 4 to 8 digit code - to lock their devices.

Gotta weigh the risks. I don’t engage in criminal activity, so I think the odds are more likely someone will try to sneak my passcode while entering it in public and take my phone than being in a situation where a cop will seize my phone and that will somehow lead to my arrest and criminal prosecution.

“An initial wave of Vision Pro returns once they had made their unboxing videos for Insta and TikTok”
Fixed that for you 😁

Probably because the entire concept is stupid. 

Just going to get it out of my system because it’s s pet peeve - comfort. Not ‘comfortability.’

Nobody has forgot about it because all of you media outlets with marketing contracts won’t stop writing about it. We get it Apple keeps paying you to talk about it but can you stop using the clickbait titles and come up with some new material?
