Remember when we all used to go about our lives without passwords or biometrics on our phones? Just slide to unlock.

Good times, simpler times.

@tuomas_h And way less secure? The biometrics as done by Apple are such a great invention, it’s one of the few things I would definitely not roll back.

@jirirbr I’m not saying that I would or we should. It was a different time, we kept so much less sensitive stuff on the devices. This is just nostalgia.

@tuomas_h It's funny, I turned on one of my old phones a while ago (I keep every device I've ever owned) and was disturbed to find that there wasn't much on it: a few texts/photos, and that was it. I thought maybe I'd deleted most of it.

And then I remembered: this was from when I mainly used phones for making calls. I didn't text a lot, didn't keep notes on it. I think I even carried a physical notebook back then. There wasn't much on the phone because I just didn't use it for much.

Jarring.

@tuomas_h @jirirbr well, you can actually go back two that by removing all sensitive data. Which is not that hard and I do have second devices like that where I removed all the distractions but left stuff two get information and in contact in case of emergency and is kinda amazing using it :)
