@johnolilly I rewatched Deadwood, and it was a totally different experience. I kinda missed some episodes originally. The unexpected lesson: this is how the west was really won – people finally *stopped* killing each other en masse, and let politics and law take hold to resolve conflicts.

@voretaq7 So use a 24-digit PIN code in that case. Not like anyone's *forced* to use faceid. If you're in a high risk situation, use high risk solutions. Easier better security is a win for the human race, versus hard to use and nobody does it.

@voretaq7 faceid is awesome. more secure than a fingerprint, and lets your device dynamically unlock when you show it attention by looking at it. I also use Windows Hello at home for the same reason. I sit down in front of my compy, it's already unlocked..
