Hah, this was the first thing I tested with Face ID when I got my iphone 10. If you look at it with your eyes closed then it won't unlock. Open your eyes and it instantly unlocks. It spent about five minutes playing peek-a-boo with it.
- zaroth 7y agoActually it’s unlocking while your eyes are closed, it just re-locks really quickly the moment it senses that you are opening your eyes.
- chubbyrabbit 7y agoIf that's true it means others can unlock it as long as my eyes are closed. I'm certain that's not the case.
- saagarjha 7y agoI think the comment you replied to was a joke.
- spectramax 7y agoI got a chuckle out of it but honestly, we don't need to make this place like Reddit where serious topics were mixed with jokes and then it got so bad that its impossible to engage in a serious discussion without a [serious] tag in the headline. Vast number of places on the internet are enteraining, there is no shortage. Let's leave HN for serious discussions. Good joke though.
- mantap 7y agoJokes are OK on HN as long as they are genuinely funny. Unfunny jokes tend to get downvoted. As most 'jokes' are not legitimately funny this system works well to keep a balance. I've been here 10 years and it hasn't become like Reddit yet. Every person saying that HN will become like Reddit has been wrong so far.
- spectramax 7y agoIf the joke adds intellectual value, I mostly agree. The problem is defining what’s truly funny and what’s not and it is highly dependent on the individual reader. I’ve personally feel/seen some erosion but it’s hard to quantify and measure.
- Scarblac 7y agoThe problem on Reddit is the huge amount of formulaic and reference-based humor. It's too easy and it becomes a race to see who posts the obvious joke first. On HN jokes do get up voted - if they're original, related to the topic and actually funny.
- sossles 7y agoIt also checks you're looking at the screen which is pretty neat (though it's got a pretty wide margin for error).
- sildur 7y agoFor me it unlocks with my eyes closed. It only does that when I’m using glasses and from an angle below my face, but it unlocks.
- rovr138 7y agoDid you try to register an alternate appearance to handle with/without glasses? I’m wondering if that would help or if it’s a deeper issue.
