  • Going from my old pixel 5 rear-scanner to an in-screen scanner ahs been a nightmare. I have dry hands and i have gone from a <0.5s unlock to a 3-10s unlock depending how many times i need to scan or lick my finger, wipe it off then scan, or usually failing scans/giving up and typing in pincode.

    “Oh my child is doing something funny or i quickly need to gake a photo of something…aaaaand its gone”. It is really fucking frustrating missing something, or even just trying to check a notification or timer quickly and having to stop and go through the whole dance of just unlocking the phone.
    Seriously considering just going back to typing the fucking pincode 50 times a day.




  • Caveat: Anyone who has been scrutinising ‘AI’.

    Something i often forget is the vast majority of the population doesnt care about technology, privacy, the mechanics of LLMs as much as i do and I pay attention to.
    So most people read/hear/watch stories of how great it is and how clever AI can do simple things for them so its easy to see how they think its doing a lot more ‘thought’ logic work than it really is, other than realistically it being a glorified word predictor.
