Sounds like what you want is tracing. OpenTelemetry is the de facto standard for that. Couple it with aggressive sampling (here's a great talk on it https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon24americas/presentation/cruz ) and you'll have a very efficient way of identifying use patterns.

Only activating the fingerprint reader when the screen is on is a regression compared to the rear reader. It means I need to squeeze the phone to unlock it, vs just placing my finger in the right spot. It also negates the purported advantage from the comment above mine about being able to easily unlock the phone while lying on a table.

I'm not arguing that the power button reader doesn't work for anyone. I'm saying that it is qualitatively worse UX for me in particular.

I do not like the power button fingerprint reader.

  • Cases need a notch to expose the power button.
  • Can't use the power button to lock the screen while fingerprint unlock is enabled, because it immediately unlocks itself with the fingerprint.
  • Accidentally unlocks itself way often when putting it in my pocket than with the back reader.

Nine Men's Morris or Reversi/Othello?

Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

Only female mosquitoes drink blood, so it sort of checks out.

Mercury is used during gold mining operations. By seizing it they are doing more to prevent damage from the illegal operations than they would by seizing the gold that would have been extracted.

Upon being asked a difficult question, said "I don't know. Let me figure it out and get back to you." And actually did get back to me.
