"Shaken, not stirred"

Today I picked up my cell phone to head out & noticed that it had not charged, even though connected. I tried several portable chargers I have in the car, none seemed to transfer power to the phone,,, then I connected it to the car plugs , still no transfer,,, so I figure its a battery gone bad,,,, then I noticed that if I jiggled it,,, there was a transfer. Well,,,, I'm not gonna sit there & jiggle it all day,,, so off to Verizon I went.

They don't repair them there & my phone was "old" , as they put it. I was eligible for another phone. So I got the IPhone 6. I have a Nano with my music on it, so now I can have it on my phone too. :D

Setting up the new phone, I see that you can use your thumb print to open the phone,,, way cool.
I feel like James Bond now with my new phone!

Now apple has your fingerprint on file to do with what they want.

The iPhone's have incredible cameras. Perfect for SOTD photos.;)

or Duncan Donuts freshly baked,,,,,:D

Biometric IDs are still, especially on consumer electronics, a bit more of a gimmick than a serious security option. Or at least that's what I've been told.

Case in point, my sister in law updates iphones every time a new one comes out and I watched one of my nephews bypass her fingerprint security with a Google search and a piece of sticky tape. He then had lots of fun changing all her contact names into Game of Thrones characters ... :D (I may have added one or two myself, can't remember now...)

Anyhoo, moral to the story - either don't have anything massively important on the phone, or use a PIN or password. Personally I prefer the first choice - there's nothing on my phone except phone numbers and some music basically.

I just keep numbers, music & family photos,,,,,,,,,,,nothing that isn't backed up in "4" other locations.

Better yet, stock up on flip phones before they become extinct :)

I have a hunch it may have been Podrick Payne - that's where the famous genes of Dirk Diggler originate...
Of course Aundy Jimbo would know these things best.

Hirlau - have you talked with Siri yet, and what has she told you? :thinking:

Siri knows where all the bodies are hidden....
