"Biometric is a joke"

Speak for yourself because fingerprint sensor on my smartphone has changed the way I use it. Don't call the whole field of tech useless because Lenovo chooses to cheap out on their components.

I believe that comment is in reference to the fact that biometrics authentication is not as secure as folks would think. For example a printed copy of a fingerprint is likely sufficient to bypass it.

Of course there's the balance of security and convenience.
