Doesn't matter if they're neurodivergent at all, it's rude to flashbang anyone like that
Tell that to any phone with the fingerprint reader behind the screen.
Apparently thumbs can now only be scanned by harnessing the power of the fucking sun.
Another reason why my previous phone was better than my current one: backside fingerprint scanner. Infinitely superior to a screenside fingerprint scanner, as I was able to unlock my phone in the same motion as picking it up or removing it from my pocket. With a screenside fingerprint scanner, it is no longer more convenient than just inputting the lock code.
My new pet hate is that I'll unlock it with a finger print, go to do a contactless card payment, and then it demands the fingerprint again, because it turns out the original unlock was the face detection, which is a lot faster than fingerprints but not secure enough for a small payment.
I'd turn that off, but then it just takes ages every time I unlock my phone rather than the once or twice a day I need to buy something.
or worse, using face unlock in the dark
Huh? My s21+ screen reads my thumbprint with the screen off
