Knob recognition

[Joe_Fox]

Did you know that you can use your knob to unlock your phone? Just register your knob as a fingerprint, and scan the old chap a few times to get it recognised. You can then rest safe in the knowledge that, if you are unfortunate enough to lose both your hands, you can still unlock your phone and read the quality stuff on talkingballs.

It would certainly help with that annoying thing you get in the supermarket at the minute where your iPhone won’t recognise your face with a mask on.

Probably wouldn't unlock your phone if picking children up from School

I'd have to get a bigger phone.

I thought this thread was about someone seeing Joe in the street?

Would make paying in the undertakers slightly more amusing I guess?

That's some niche transactional comedy right there Cambo!

Perhaps so, but certainly not meant to offend

Taking a quick picture at the zoo will never be the same.

My phone doesn’t have a front-facing microscope

Ok, hands up, who's just tried this? Be honest now.

My guess is zero people

The only downside with this is asking someone four behind you in the queue to hold your phone.

Tbh, I'm too frikkin' old/past it/luddite to be doing anything too fancy with my phone anyway. I rarely use it as a phone tbh. And the screen's too small to do anything other than emergency web browsing. It's pretty much solely a mobile email checker and security (2FA) device.

My guess is one.

My guess is one.

My guess is a couple already, and maybe more shortly, when they get bored and/or the intrigue gets the better of them.

My phone has a retina scan to unlock. Will this work with my chap's eye?

I'm going to say maybe. Worth a go.
