Oh, there really is a thread for everything. I guess this stuff isn't niche anymore. Thanks.

Is there a way, app to download or feature in overlooking, that will make a certain phone number always ring audibly even when the phone is set to vibrate? I always have my phone set to vibrate, especially at night. Often my work calls me for overtime and I don’t even hear the phone vibrate. So I’d like just that number to ring at all times. Edit: I figured it out. If you go into the contact and choose ringtone, there’s an option there called Emergency Bypass. If you turn that on, you’ll get an audible ring even when the phone is turned to vibrate or silent. END OF AN ERROR fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jan 1, 2018 |

It's back up to $80 now, but for the necessary bridge and 4 LED bulbs rated at ~13 years, not bad. It is indeed cool and handy. The only thing I'd change is allowing brightness percentages on the automation features, instead of "bright, dim, or nightlight".

It's not exactly what you're after, but what about using "do not disturb" during the night. It looks like you can allow calls to come through from a specific group, but it looks like you can only set up a new group on the iCloud web site. I don't think you'd get the vibrate from other contacts though. That's the best I've been able to think of.

You need to do it separately if you want it for message notifications as well

http://bgr.com/2017/12/31/iphone-x-face-id-hack-family-members/ I’m loving all these articles of “persons Mom can unlock their phone with FaceID.” They might as well be titled “person with the phones password can unlock the phone.” What’s actually happening is exactly what Apple is saying. Some one with a vaguely similar face tries to unlock the phone and fails. They then type in the passcode their daughter next to them just gave them and the phones face learning/adaptation algorithm treats that last attempt by Mom as a possible variation of her face. Solution: Don’t give people your phone password you don’t want to unlock the phone

Anyone in London with an X who uses the tube here? I'm just intrigued how using Apple Pay to ride on it works compared to how it does with Touch ID. I always found the Oyster card the fastest, but the convenience of using your phone trumped it, even if I mucked up the auth every so often. Do you auth with Face ID first while in line, touch the pad, then do the click of the button as you go through? Is it pretty quick still?

Bum the Sad posted:http://bgr.com/2017/12/31/iphone-x-face-id-hack-family-members/ You can hide your PIN in your brain. Try doing that with your face. You'd think this would be enough of an argument that Apple done blew it by abandoning Touch ID. I wonder if it's not an intentional weakening of device security to keep governments from sniffing around iCloud. Because somehow giving the mouse a cookie is okay just this once or some garbage.

dont be mean to me posted:You can hide your PIN in your brain. Try doing that with your face. Good news is you can pinch a volume button and the power button for two seconds and face id is disabled until you enter your pin. So when the NSA raids your house late at night looking for your illegal anime porn you'll be able to keep them from finding the stash on your phone.

You opened that can when you went down the "apple is intentionally weakening protections because the gubmint" tinfoil hat road. The same company that went to court to avoid cracking open a phone belonging to a mass murderer and rolled out full disk encryption to protect our dick pics. Yeah they're totally shying away from a fight with the government.

You're welcome to go on worrying only about things that affect you directly. v  vAlso the appropriate analogy requires that the fingerprint sensor has the resolution and bit depth of an ATM list icon and that someone has to grab your face to use it to unlock your phone.
