Pixel 9 pro struggles with my finger scan if it's too dry. I guess washing hands removes the body naturally produced oil and that makes it harder to scan.

I have the P9p and have more issues with the (ultra sonic) sensor than I did with the (optical sensor) on the previous P8p.

I even compared both in hand before trading in the older phone and the P8p scanning was much better.

Though I have to mention; to improve the optical sensor reading I had to do 4 fingerprints with different brightness for each scan, and that what helped a lot.

Too bad I can't do the same with the Ultrasonic sensor since it doesn't care about the brightness on the screen.

I learned it from another poster. I did the brightness trick when when I setup my fingerprintes (you setup four finger prints with the same finger, but with each fingerprint setup you change the brightness by %25 step. you start with the lowest brightness [assume it's 0%] to the highest [%100] with each setup).

Thanks to that trick, I had at least %80 unlock success rate with my previous pixel 8P Pro!

I upgraded to the P9 Pro with the ultrasonic sensor, and unfortunately it's actually worse than the optical for me, and add to that brightness trick doesn't work with it either since it uses a different tech...

I had the P8P and i'm getting the smaller P9P. see my previous comment for more details but basically I went with the Bestbuy pre order because they were giving away $200 giftcard in top of the $625 trade in credit.

Me too! I initially I wanted to wait for the (Pixel X?) for the TSMC based processor.

but since the Pixel 9 brought QOL improvements like the Ultra sonic finger print, improved Telephoto Autofocus and smaller Pixel Pro that can be used in one hand. Top that with $625 credit and $200 BB giftcard. I couldn't hold anymore and gave in :)

Since you mentioned wireguard. I can't fight the argue to mention the remarkable app called "Rethink". This app finally let me use wirequard and local DNS blocking at the same time. it also got a big variety of settings and filters. and top of that it's opensource! I no longer need or use Blokada after I found this app.

now that I got that out of the way, I feel much better right now :)

No wonder they found fecal bacteria on shopping carts handles.

Can we redo this please with modern specs and cameras? The ubuntu edge phone.

imagine if this kickstarter reached it's goal 10 years ago... So sad.

They can and probably already do charge extra for that service.

I switched, it's definitely more complicated but it got much more options. Blokada has much more simple UI.

So can Cassia Wine play any DX9 game since you mentioned GTA IV or there are other limitations?
