@jws The solution to dropping is simple: insert a magnet in your palm (just the tiniest cut is needed!).
Then wave that hand over a hard drive and make people believe in magic.
@matigo That'd be nice, but they keep trying to make it thinner, and with rumours of a bezelless 8, attaching a sensor at that point might be quite difficult, as it'd have to be sensor and screen at the same time at at least one point — in which case they'd rather just turn the entire screen into a sensor.
Confused. If Apple were going to put the fingerprint sensor on the back of the iPhone [9to5mac.com], surely they'd just turn the into a sensor instead of putting another black dot on the back?…
@literary It's often possible to view a Google cache text-only version of the page and get the info that way. It won't be pretty, but the text will be there.
@matigo Indeed, and I'd need to reformat my 4TB drives to non-HFS+…and make sure I had enough thunderbolt ports.
