> That was their claim, however my observation is that it just takes longer to fail before offering "swipe up to get the passcode interface" If I have a mask on, swiping up immediately brings up the pass code screen. In this case immediately is <0.5 secs.
And for me, it regularly doesn't, taking the full timeout period.

If you're detained or mugged you have other problems to worry about. They can also threaten you with a knife to get your pin code or put your fingerprints on the phone. If anything face ID requires your eyes to be open, they can knock you out and use your fingerprints more easily.
Law enforcement in most developed countries won't resort to violence to get your credentials but are happy to point your phone at your face. By the "they can just use violence" logic, no computer is secure and we should throw them all into the ocean. Security can improve the intermediate cases- focusing solely on the worst case is unproductive.
Sorry for the shameless plug, but for those without an Apple Watch I've made a program [0] that implements the Unlock Mac with Bluetooth for any other device, including Android phones, Android Wear or Tizen watches or even some ear plugs.

Enabled Umwelt in Accessibility (Big Sur). Clicked allow updates. Crashes every time I open. Displays check for updates screen, then immediately crashes.
It seems there is an incompatibility with Big Sur in the Sparkle Framework (I use it for updates).
Will look into it.

Good. If municipalities want to raise revenue from my driving, then they should either raise taxes or implement tolls, not implement speed traps designed to trick people from out of town.
Or you can just stop speeding

>Apple is the gatekeeper and Facebook can't do anything about it. Antitrust. As much as I applaud Apple here- isn't this just more proof they they abuse their position?
Antitrust for allowing the user to choose? I don’t think that would stand in court.
And don't get me started on choice. It's a step in the right direction but Apple doesn't give a shit about choice or they'd allow multiple App stores, side loading, browsers, etc. They wouldn't be fighting with repair shops.

Unpopular opinion: people should just not speed. Even speeding just a little bit at high speeds drastically increases your car's emissions and is also dangerous (~40% increase in chance of death in a head on collision at 60 mph vs 55 mph). I don't think giving people a tool that helps them break what is in my mind a good/just/important law is the right move on Apple's part
I don't know how good you're at knowing how fast you're going. When the margin's that tight, you're going to either be very rich with a Tesla that's going below the speed. Or quite rich with a car like BMW that lets you set top speed. Or you're just going to go slow. like 10km/hr slower especially if you can't afford it.
The knock on effect was ridiculous. The trip took longer, and the amount of road rage witnessed on a daily basis was quite visible, wasn't a happy period for sure.
In regard to unlock w/Apple Watch: - This is an issue of Apple's own artificial creation. - This doesn't even solve the issue. So this all started because Face Unlock didn't work with masks, that's not Apple's fault. But what is entirely Apple's fault is that they break an option which resolves this only when Face Unlock is enabled: "Require Passcode." When you disable Face Unlock you can set Require Passcode to e.g.…

Protect yourself against one giant tech corporation, by sending all your data through other giant tech corporation. Apple is really great at marketing.
Better the devil you know. For now, I know that this devil doesn’t sell my information to hundreds of other devils.
Once they figure it out, their story will change very quickly. It’s naive to think that sending data to other huge company is proper solution.

I have a dry skin and Touch ID works for me 50% if I'm lucky.
I have sweaty skin and my success rate is at least as bad as yours. I confess to be very surprised at the love for TouchID here. I've used both TouchID and FaceID and I find the success rate of the latter to be much better. Perhaps we, dry and sweaty skins, are edge cases and most people apparently have 'normal' skin?

You're wealthy, tall, young, male, English-speaking programmer who posts about how they are "constantly called the smartest person people know", whining that other people being represented by emojis is inconvenient to you so it shouldn't be allowed. That should cause some embarassment and self-reflection.
Lol @ your attempt to shame me. It doesn't work because I regret nothing, and apologize for nothing. It's not illegal to seek feedback about self from others. It's not illegal to be tall, young, male, english speaking. And most of all, it's not illegal to think a woman with a beard emoji is ridiculous.
