    Whackcar, 23 Jul 2020Technology is cool and all, but not everything needs to be ... moreA digital car keys has so many advantages. When one person use car frequently the feature: key-less entry feels like million dollar feature.
    Same goes for the digital home sequrity+ door lock.
    I'm guessing you don't have the ability to experience these.

      Digitalization really makes life easy but for somethings I still prefer manual things cause anything can happen to your smartphone, you can drop and break it, lose it, it gets stolen, runs out of battery so for somethings I still prefer manual

        Technology is cool and all, but not everything needs to be digital. Basic everyday accessories should be analog. Stuff like House/Car Keys, ID Card/Driver's License/Debit-Credit Card, Passports, Electronic switches, etc. If you're fully dependent on digital accessories, An unexpected power failure can make your life hell for the moment.

            in this day and age it is time that we can ditch our driving licence and passport, there is no reason why this cant be rolled out globally over the next few years

                "Security-wise, the Galaxy S20 family has embedded Secure Element (eSE) that stores all the sensitive data on a separate processor inside the phone with proper isolation and protection against hardware attacks and attempts to copy information stored on it."

                That's what I respect about Samsung's S-series, these little things that usually don't make headlines but add up to a complete flagship experience. It's not just raw power and camera performance like competitiors, Samsung really tries to cut absolutely no corners with their flagship lineup (except if you're living in Europe or India, then you're left with mediocre versions)
