> I think the point is that it isn’t really a legitimate criticism of the device Tacking on emotional manipulation does not somehow make your point (more) valid. > Not having a fingerprint sensor was not a design choice by the keyboard maker. It is a constraint of the operating system that peripheral makers have no ability to work around. What? Numerous other sibling posts have pointed out that this is not only possible, but it's already been done. Claiming it's "a constraint of the operating system" is false. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49199063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49199063

What about that was emotional manipulation? It wasn’t my intent for my response to make you feel emotional. My apologies if your feelings weren’t ok. If you read the details of your own link, what they are doing is taking an official Apple keyboard and physically attaching the Touch ID to a third party keyboard. It isn’t getting Touch ID to work with third party hardware. It’s just putting Apple hardware in a different housing. It’s like claiming that putting a Mac mini inside a Dell case means that a Dell can now dual boot MacOS. Putting two things adjacent to each other does not make them the same thing.
