Like I said, an unpopular opinion. There's no question that fingerprint scanners can be defeated and represent a security weakpoint compared to typing in a password.

But that's all I'm going to say on the subject.

Was literally anyone saying it wasn't?

Any suggestions on a case for the pixel xl? I'm looking on Amazon and not seeing great reviews for many of the cases on there.

I got this one for my regular Pixel and I really like it.

Day and a half in with my pixel and I'm in love with the fingerprint unlock, even though from what I understand it isn't the best security wise?

Are you the President or some other edge case security issue? If not fingerprint is fine.

Arcanen posted:

Ignoring that you're "securing" a device covered in the very fingerprints you're using to lock it, cops can compel you to unlock your phone if it's locked using biometric data, whereas the same is not true of a passcode etc. If you're a minority, or going to any protests, or passing through airports, you should not be using fingerprint unlock. Really, in general, you shouldn't be using fingerprint unlock. It's security theater rather than security.

Wife just got her Pixel XL and she put this Caseology case on it. We mostly hear about Diztronics and Spigens in here so I thought I'd mention that it seems like a pretty nice case. It has a nice look to it, fits well and I like the button feel on it.



I have this case on my pixel I get comments on it all the time.

Anyone else use Android Auto? I tried like 10 times to send a text to someone using voice and here's how it panned out:

Me: "Send a text to Rebecca"

Auto: "Ok, what's the message?"

Me: "blablabla"

Auto: "Ok, here's your text to Rebecca 'what's the message blablabla' do you want to send it or change it?"

Me: "Change it"

And it just went on like this until I gave up. For the record, I'm chatting with a Google cyborg support thing now to ask again for an exchange.

The charge is whatever, just unexpected (hey I don't have to ship back lovely defective products on a regular basis, gently caress me right?)

The guy on the phone is telling me that it may be a refurbished or it may be new. It's wildly disappointing that there's no guarantee. Especially when consulting this thread lead me to believe that my initial concern for replacing (getting a refurb) was unwarranted.

But hey, white knight the process all you want. I'm sure you benefit greatly from that stance and not questioning poor user experiences.

yes your ignorance is other people's fault
