Survivor 29, apathy

This is a first.  In general, I enjoy Survivor (the TV series).  In spite of how much I hate the direction that a season is going (including knowing where a season is going because it has already aired), I tend to follow it.
This season is an exception.  Midway through the finale episode, Keith was voted out.  OK.  That happens.  ... The problem is that the three jerks (I'm trying to be kind) that were left were all people that I care nothing about.
I aborted out of the episode (seriously, I did) because one of the three a-holes will get the $1m.  I don't care at all which a-hole it is.  I don't care about the great dramatic BS that the Survivor crew bothered to put them through to make it look like they earned it.  I proactively don't care.
None of them deserve it.  They voted off the one guy that did.

Screw this season finale.  I won't watch.
Screw the reunion.  I don't care.

What's worse, this season has poisoned my interest in following seasons.
Oh well, I've got better things to do anyway....

Where'd my Nexus 7 Face Unlock go?

Last night I installed the Android 5.0.1 upgrade for my Gen2 Nexus 7.  There's some stuff I like and some stuff I'll have to get used to.  But the first thing I noticed is that Face Unlock appears to have gone missing.

With some research, I found that from [Settings] -> [Security], you could enable "Smart Lock".  But the problem was that I couldn't find that on my Security screen.  After some looking around, I scrolled down to the "Advanced" section (near the bottom), and found "Trust agents".  Tapping into that, I found "Smart Lock (Google)" which was defaulted to off.  I tapped that on, and then went back up a level.  Suddenly, "Smart Lock" appeared right where it was supposed to just below "Owner info".

Hopefully this tip will help some that haven't yet figured out where their Face Unlock feature has disappeared to.
