This article is so stupid. The author clearly has no idea how existing biometrics that Apple offers work. Touch ID stores information in a secure element, and nowhere else. No cloud, no device transfer methods, nothing - it is On Device only. Face ID is no different. In fact, it doesnâ(TM)t even store images of your face - it reduces your faceâ(TM)s geometry to a mathematical equation that is literally impossible to reverse engineer, due to the high levels of iOS hardware security. Read the damn iOS Security Guide, published and updated by Apple - it is FULL if information on how this stuff works, how keys are handled, how the Secure Enclave works, how encryption works across the OS and user data, itâ(TM)s a great read and would put these inane âoefearsâ to rest simply by understanding how it works.
âoePeoples will always fear what they donâ(TM)t understandâ
What fascism? Do you even know what fascism is? Or are you just regurgitating the MSM? Iâ(TM)ve yet to see anyone provide actual proof or fact that shows how Trump is âoefascistâ.
>and isnt available from any ISP in the States.
What? That only equates to 178 Mb/s; people with gigabit fiber like myself can easily push that without even using a 5th of the max bandwidth.
However I do agree it was an inside leak from a USB drive. Too many other factors make sense. But to say no ISP offers that speed capability is purely false.
Why did it take AT&T so long to offer the same package(s).
U.S. ISPs, that's why. I consider myself extremely lucky to have this service because very, very few people have access to Fiber much less at this price point.
I am 40 miles away from Nashville and they put Gigapower in 5 or 6 neighborhoods where I am at. Google Fiber has no plans to come this far outside of Nashville, and probably never will. So, I don't think your statement is entirely accurate.
No, not anymore - they removed it. I have AT&T Gigapower and no TV or phone service. It DID have a 1TB cap but they removed it a month ago. Also, this past week, they announced they are ending the "Internet Preferences" campaign - the deal that would scan your internet traffic and serve ads based on it. Before, you had to pay an additional $30 to not be subjected to the traffic monitoring; now, they are removing it entirely. So, I am paying a flat $70 a month (no taxes on fiber internet in TN for some reason) for unlimited gigabit speed with no traffic monitoring or ad serving.
What phone/technology vendor DOESN'T try to lock you into their ecosystem nowadays? Microsoft and Google are just as bad as Apple about that. But I bet you're fine being locked into your Google Play Store.

After being on /. for over 10 years, it heartens me greatly to see it hasn't gone *completely* full retard yet.

I pull 900 down and 800 up hardline into my modem. So, whatever...I'll take that over 60/4 offered by Charter any day of the week.
