Lousy reporting. That Microsoft idiot said that Edge is locked down on those machines, not "the age of these machines are [sic] wacked down a little bit."

Look, Apple never claimed Face ID was perfect and, in my tests, it could not be fooled by photos or videos of my registered face. Still, these results do not bode well for all the identical twins out there, to say nothing of triplets and quintuplets. This is, by the way, a test Microsoft says its Windows Hello Facial recognition technology reportedly didn’t fail.

apple iface is facial recognition where windows hello (atleast on my winphone) is iris scanning. iris scanning would be harder to defeat w/ a twin, where a twin would largely have the same general face. facial recognition is probably faster which is why apple is using it.

windows hello is the collected infrastructure/entrypoints for all kinds of "secondary" authentication if i understand it correctly, so its everything from the pin (which you can set instead of the full password for connected devices), to iris scans (which is poo poo), face recognition, fingerprints, etc.

you, at the very least, get the hello face recognition thing on a lot of laptops these days, requires the addition of an ir camera, but i guess oems just gets a only modestly more expensive camera assembly they drop in for it

It works okay. On mobile it didn’t work too hot in low light conditions but that’s to be expected. sometimes it would start its routine before you were near the camera so it failed, other times it sits there saying “Checking if it’s really you” long enough to just put the drat PIN in anyways and skip it.

If his excuse is real that is some classic Windows IT bikeshedding. Lock down random functions in Edge but allow downloading of running of any executables. Microsoft hasn't managed to progress from: security & usability pick one.

One hopes Microsoft will not just internally ban Chome and be dipshits because the presenter would just have to cancel the presentation.

oh cool so they’ll allow a locked icloud account to brick devices but they’ll also allow insecure methods of logging in on their devices

they just need to bring back Touch ID, the best security feature a device has ever had

you shouldn't use any biometrics if you want to be secure and all of these are opt in afaik

The stuff they use to prevent photos or videos unlocking the phone also seem like they'd be pretty easy to defeat if this sort of thing becomes common place enough for people to really put their minds to it.
