Youare assuming that you have one available and he/she/it/they/whatever is willing to go to whatever place was just made into a shithole by whatever disaster occurred.
I wasn't asking why they use biometrics instead of a passcode, I was asking why they use biometrics instead of NOTHING for the data that they have ALREADY STATED they do not care if other people see. Why is that so difficult to understand?
Maybe they want to deny usable access to the hardware to someone who found it or stole it, simply out of spite (hey, that's mine! So you can't use it even though I'll never get it back).
Maybe they want to keep someone from using up their data plan.
Maybe they want to keep someone from using it to frame them for some crime.
However, they're considerably more difficult to mimic than password entry - which means that the asshole who stole your phone at the club is unlikely to be able to bypass it.
I have an eight digit alphanumeric passcode on my phone. That asshole is unlikely to bypass it.
The way the article reads, there is something seriously evil about anyone, anywhere, making money as a result of knowing something that someone else does not know.
If I can keep my own direct out of pocket cost to almost nothing, what is my in right give to not go to the doctor every fucking day, just because I can? What is my incentive to not go to the doctor, tying up resources, when I really donâ(TM)t need to go?
Sure. But if you make a general purpose product that is only really useful to a TINY portion of a mass market industry, Your productâ(TM)s extinction is a virtual certainty.
Did it do stuff better than other platforms? Sure. Did it do enough stuff better to outcompete the others? Nope. Whose fault is that?
People will STILL be bitching about how superior the Amiga was, despite not being something most people wanted. Hardware means nothing without software. An operating system without application is not useful to most people.
GIVE IT UP people!!! No one cares about the Amiga BACK THEN and no one cares about it now, other than the select few who canâ(TM)t seem to FUCKING LET GO. You lost. Get over it. Move on. It has been decades. It is time!

Who the fuck knows?
Who the fuck wants to know?
Do you know where his phone as been?
Neither do I.
And I don't want to.
You can use your finger to unlock something while you don't even look at it.
That's not all you can use it for.

So's your spelling!
He takes an "open" approach to spelling.
No shit.

Fucking morons.
Yes, I knew that. All the more reason for Kenyans to learn Mandarin.
It is when the claim is âoein all 50 states, without exceptionâ, and within seconds, I can show 10% of the states are an exception.
It is bound to be a lot more useful to those kids in a global commerce environment than Swahili.
You are incorrect.

Why?
I would find that to be a huge pain in the ass.
Takes some money to move around.
Not if you're willing to make tough choices.
Sell all your shit other than what you can toss in a big-ass backpack and hit the road. Hitchhike. Bus ticket. Walk.
Get where you're going. Hostel and shelter as necessary until you get a job and a place to live and go from there.
Why not give everyone Who wants to go live there!

You donâ(TM)t need to have a phone just to have a phone number.
Welcome to the modern world.
Then you bought shitty phone.
Rational people realize that technical merit is not the only component of overall merit.
Right. So how would you describe the âoemusicâ stored on my phone?
EBay provides proof that people will try to sell anything...no matter how inherently useless it is.
People still care about the Amiga?
I wish I lived in one of those places.

And why do you suppose that is?
What is it about Noway that makes sellers prefer to lose all sales to that country?
Too ambiguous.
