The better solution is removable screens. When you want to get into the phone, take the screen out of your pocket, lay it over the phone, and return to your pocket afterwards.
I'll patent it and go on Shark Tank for funding and awareness and then submit the fucking article to/. for more click bait.
On the TV show, "Ransom," the lead genius dusted the phone with a fine powder to reveal the four-digit passcode and then entered the person's birthday.
It was on TV, so it was real just like, "Scorpion," and "MacGyver."
My wife and her brother don't have fingerprints that are good enough for passports or license to carry a weapon [there are other ways to pass muster] or biometric entry into iPhones.
Also, the elasticity of skin decreases with age, so a lot of senior citizens have prints that are difficult to capture. The ridges get thicker; the height between the top of the ridge and the bottom of the furrow gets narrow, so there's less prominence. So if there's any pressure at all [on the scanner], the print just tends to smear.
Every. motherfucking. reality. show. is. based. on. the. same. goddam. formula.
How many of those fucking inane pieces of shit do we need?
And... my cable company says I have "hundreds" of channels.
Shit like 24/7 infomercials about tightening asses and abs and cosmetics and scooter chairs and slicer/dicers. I never watch that shit, but I pay for it.
I have Dish. When a rain cloud comes in from the South, I lose reception and there's no Plan B.
I can get Dish on every goddam device I own, from anywhere there's Internet... if my HOUSE has power and no bad weather.
CEOs and shareholders want asymptotic revenue growth in a very short time. We all know what the top of that graph looks like. Growth is over pretty quickly and the greed motivation continues.
It would be nice (not for greedy CEOs and shareholders) if a company would settle for a great lifestyle that it could maintain for many years and stop the boom/bust shit.

"Not STEM," for another reason:
Think piano lessons.
Many kids are forced to take piano lessons because mama and papa think it's important that their kids take piano lessons.
Mostly, two things happen:
Kids learn to hate the fucking piano lessons and damned few are ever any good at it.
Kids need exposure to many endeavors in order to determine where their natural aptitude points.
When that activity is identified, then the student should be allowed to chase that dream.
STEM education is valuable when a STEM-enabled person pursues it.
If they suck at STEM, maybe they are piano prodigies and no one, including the student, knew.
Or incompetent system administrators.
... why is it always Russia?
Mama always liked Russia best.
The "strategy" part is crucial, though.
Before I retired, I backed up every single night to external hard drives (EHD).
Every fucking evening, for 18 years, I'd take last night's backup home and bring those drives back in the morning.
I'd put in "today's" tape and take last night's home with me again.
I had seven (7) EHD and every Wednesday I'd delete an innocuous file on each server and restore it from the EHD.
The object is not to get stuff ON the EHD as much as it is to get the data back OFF the EHD.
If a server notified me that backup didn't happen (I used BackupAssist), I'd take care of it, even on weekends.
The company that replaced me (and I'm not making this up) got hit with ransomware and the lazy bastards rotated the EHD once a week!
One of the asshole partners in the Firm clicked on a goddam link in an email about a UPS delivery.
The fucking Firm has a contract with FedEx.
You send them to school and they bite the fucking teacher ...
It's called, "phishing," for a reason.
Throw enough bait into the water and you might catch a bass.
Of course, you might catch a boot.
Fuck that.
Let's change that to pot and patent it.
No losers there.
Thanks for the fucking spoiler.
I saw a movie with a similar plot involving credit card skimmers with hidden cameras.
Formulaic plot.
... that allows for licking the lock screen?
The mouth would cover a large area while the tongue makes hidden movements.
Hell, people won't eat a bagel that someone else has licked, amiright?
Less abrasion and the screens could come in strawberry, chocolate, and cherry.
I will be patenting this idea and appear on Shark Tank for funding and exposure and then I'll be posting the article here on /. for more click bait.

... "The Art of the Pussy Grab."
The Crusades were about rape, pillaging, burning, land-grabbing and money.
I know that.
Why don't you?
I agree.
Big Renewable is a force equal to Big Oil ... it just isn't there, yet.
Tobacco was a bitch for two main reasons:
1.) It made a shit load of money
2.) It provided a shit load of jobs
The first funds the politician's war chest and the second gets out the votes.
This is about the Bakken oil fields that run through Wyoming.
The US has a fossil fuel glut and renewable energy is not going to help that.
I helped litigate Big Tobacco and fossil fuel is the back story here.
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
... including the comment section, is like using a fucking elephant gun to kill a piss ant.
I agree with your assessment but would suggest you remove the words, "journalists."
There aren't any.
That shit died when advertisers, CEOs and shareholders grabbed "news" by the fucking balls.

The Mac culture has its issues as well.
Now I know you're lying.
I swear when talking ...
I don't have voice-active Facebook and I doubt you talk like that in the workplace and certainly not to your fucking boss or your goddam preacher.
Also, face-to-face convos are rather difficult to copy/paste to places beyond your control.
Just being fucking honest with your ass, OK?
... at a counter, so I'm low risk.
... click bait advertising?
Why the fuck are we talking about AI that's already out there and using an example of AI that's not already out there?
