BTW - I still have a thumb but there is a huge huge chunk missing. :D thankfully, the hospital said a lot of the skin on the hand will heal and grow back.

Well, I give your attempt at keeping everyone happy 1.85 thumbs up (out of 1.85).

Best wishes on the recovery!

Dang sorry to hear about it, I sliced off a piece of my left pointer finger a couple years ago and it sucked (it’s healed and the only issue I had was my finger print changed so I had to re-register it with my phone). Missing a part of your thumb is probably worse in these smartphone times.

Sorry about that, and nice that you're almost side-effect free now.

Are you american/in america? Did you have to re-register your fingerprints?

[jmgao]

There are opt-in programs that mandate it (security clearances, etc.), but Americans aren't generally required to register their fingerprints.

Re-register for what? I’m American only thing I had to do was fix my iPhone sign in, I still had the iPhone 6s at the time.

Oof - last week mine looked like an exploded sausage, but it was healing. Glad the long term issues weren't too bad for you.

Yeah I read it that way too, I meant it's in a brace or some sort of device where you can't use it so it's not there for this article.

I read it as an implication of Apple's goombas saying something like "it'll be a real shame is something were to happen to your thumb if that article gets released", but did it anyways. Too many Scorsese movies I guess.
