Donna,
I couldn't agree with you more.
I’m hoping that Apple will, in fact, maintain some form of Touch ID. I just
can't imagine that they would completely eliminate such a trusted form of ID
verification.
Of course, I said the same thing about removing the headphone jack and we all
know how that turned out (smile).
Personally, I have absolutely no desire to use Face ID.
Let's just wait and see what happens on September 12th, okay?
By the way, it is for this and other reasons why I continue to purchase and use
Android devices; you know, just in case Apple takes this big brother thing, a
little too far for my tastes (smile).

Subject: Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes
You know, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm feeling frustrated with
Apple. I was really hoping that the new iPhone models would include an option
for a faster iPhone 8. Face ID sucks. It takes significantly longer to unlock
your phone, and is much more finicky. I'm feeling resentful that Apple is
trying to force me into a technology that I have tried, and do not like. I
don't want Face ID. I don't need a ginormous screen. I sure as h*** don't
need three cameras. I'm starting to wonder if my next phone will be a cheapy
that makes calls and texts, and I do the rest from my Mac. I don't want some
giant tech company to dictate how I will use technology. If Apple wants to
continue to promote face recognition to the exclusion of more convenient
technologies, that's their prerogative. But they should have kept a touch
option available for those of us who tried face ID and know it sucks. And as
for the new flick up for home? It sucks, too. Being able to quickly press a
home button--be it actual or virtual--was much more efficient. My only
power--small though it may be--is my purchasing power. And I am really
wondering if my next phone will be a non-Apple product.
I know this is only tangentially related to the start-up chime, but I feel it's
all part of the same thing. Why not leave the chime enabled, or at least make
it an option for those who want it? Why should Apple be deciding this for us?
They seem to want to make an argument that they are not big-brotherish, but
actually, they're no better than the rest.

Hi shaun,
Yeah the line in the web page details that say:
Feature removed by apple on latest firmware, doesn't work anymore.”
Kind of says to me that this doesn’t work anymore.
Oh well, other people can keep trying.

There is no proof that this command works. I've heard from experts
that it doesn't but go ahead and try it yourself.

Hi Listers
Ok so I'm kind of getting hacked off with the fact my new work Mac
Book Pro doesn't do the start up chimes that Apple / mac computers
have done since long before I started using Mac products.
I've got VO starting at log in but when for some reason I need to
force restart for some unknown reason, if I use the power button to
turn off / on the machine I never know when it's restarting until it
starts talking to me, If I'm lucky enough for vo to still be
talking.I know this effects us all, But have we ever or has anyone
ever contacted Apple accessibility to explain that this chime at
start up would be really useful to us the sight impaired to know when
/ if our machines are starting up Or do in my case I just keep
thinking the batteries dead and put it on mains power when I don't
need to.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Regards
Slightly P'd off mac book pro user.
