Not everyone has a device that can use lidar to map the face so it can’t be a requirement. Kids have been defeating these smile and close your eyes things using photo mode in video games to control a character to perform the actions.

I didn't know about this, I'm on my laptop right now running macos and just tapped the trackpad with two fingers and it zoomed in. Usually I'm using a mouse and keyboard, I'll have to figure out how to do this with a key

This is about the Digital Markets Act, its not the EU saying it isn't secure enough, they are saying users should be able to choose to use the same functionality but with different AI providers. Compliance with DMA would have Apple han

Siri AI has the capability to read your screen and access a lot of personal stuff. I don't blame Apple for not wanting to open this up to allow any model to access it. It seems Apple proposed a number of solutions which were denied. Wh

This is a pet hate of mine. My whole family has iPhones but only my wife and daughters cables break because they use the phones while they are plugged in. The cable gets bent sharply where it joins the connector causing it to break. I'

I don't think it was meant to be hostile. It is a pattern I always find myself repeating personally. I think they just recognised it as something they do themselves. If I feel like I have too many things to do, I can end up installing

Totally agree, I took a very well paying job with a company doing what I enjoy doing, but the attitude of the company was very much to extract as much money from the clients as possible. We had three hour monthly call where everyone would t

The signs also seem to take priority over GPS, I was on a road with a 50mph speed limit tonight and the car read something it thought was a 20mph speed limit sign. I have the beeps disabled but it still displays the red 20mph sign on the da

They generally do care, but not enough to change what they do or to do without something they use, like social media. So many people I know say “I only use Signal to talk to you”, it’s like I’m the awkward one for not using Facebook.

In the UK all mobile phones default to no adult content on the mobile networks, if you want to access adult content you need to request it with the mobile network provider. They could have gone the same route with consumer internet access.

I use a Cytrence Kiwi myself, really handy bit of kit, I just wish it could do higher resolution, even if it meant dropping the frame rate. I also have a PiKVM with the switch for network level access which works really well too.
