Don't feel alone, VINNY, my iPHone 6+ fingerprint scanner works only 50% of the time. Gets aggravating, especially since I paid $$$ for it.

Hmm...the fingerprint scanner on my last two phones, the LG V10 and LG V30 have been flawless for me. But of course tgis has nothing to do with laptop scanners, I''ll wager.

Actually, it is a slideshow of some of the photos from my Australia trip and some other shots., which seem to look MUCH nicer on this screen[

it's ok, I don't care about the Burns effect, personally as I usually run programs full screen or at least covering up a lot of the 14" space that I have, so I don't see it often. I do like the fade between images, though.

Necroposting exclamation point

Whelp, I had my first ever ssd death, and of course it was my newest one.
The controller on my nvme seems to have been fried. I guess that little heat shield/ free advertising doohicky was sort of important.

The SSD died while I was on a road trip with the Mrs on our anniversary, so idgaf until I got back
Luckily I did have recent enough backups of the important stuff, as recovering data will be impossible.

Soooooo I got another, but better one, an XPG SX8200 Pro to replace the middling SX6000 256Gb. The new one is not only the same price as the old one, it is muuuucchhh faster and is 512Gb.
I boot in about 3 to 4 seconds on autologin.

Not quite Samsung EVO 970 speeds, but supposedly extremely close
