2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

Uh, isn’t the trial in Santa Fe?

Lmao, New Mexico is not Texas, and Santa Fe is solidly blue. It’s a hippy town. Also, people in NM are super proud of their growing slice of the film industry pie, and I think a lot would be disinclined to do anything detrimental to its growth.

Gotta agree with suzzer on this one.

However, I also know this feeling all too well.

We also have examples like George Washington rotating his slaves in and out of Philadelphia as President because slaves were automatically freed after being there for 6 months.

The president was secretive when writing to his personal secretary Tobias Lear in 1791: “I request that these Sentiments and this advise may be known to none but yourself & Mrs. Washington.”

Wait until someone decides it is more secure to require both your face and a PIN.

I stopped using finger print recognition because it didn’t fucking work. Not very well anyway. Once got locked out of my phone. On laptop I always end up using a pin after it rejects the finger anyway so now I just use pin there. On phone, I do the draw a pattern thing, which I also don’t like but is the least objectionable option atm. After fingerprint bs I’m not giving facial recognition the benefit of the doubt. Lol general AI.

It didn’t work great on my Google Pixel 3, which had a physical pad on the back to put your finger (which I liked). It works phenomenally on my Samsung S20 FE, which just uses a spot on the bottom of the screen. The only times I really have trouble are when my fingers are wet, so then I just use the PIN.

I think it was on my old Samsung S6 that I got locked out. The fingerprint scanner was in the home button, I think. That was a while ago so I thought it might be better on my laptop, which is relatively new, but no. It also has a buttony scanner. You guys are tempting me to experiment with my S10. You’re the Devil, not me.

I’d never seen this before. It’s really good.

My Pixel fingerprint works great. (4a 5g). The location is very natural when holding. It also asks for a PIN every once in a while as a security measure. I love the apps that use the fingerprint scanner.

He’s the OG GTO expert. At the Mr Olympia competitions, he’d persuade his strongest opponents to let him coach them the night before going on stage, but he was really planting seeds to mess up their confidence and posture.

That guy is great. I really like his delivery also. Works for this kind of material.

Here’s something I want someone to reconcile for me.

I’ve read tons of articles about how fingerprint analysis is basically junk science as it’s used to convict criminals. But if it’s garbage, why is it considered such a strong security measure?

UK folks, what is going on over there?

“UFO-like”

In the United States, as many as half of today’s 5-year-olds can expect to live to the age of 100, and this once unattainable milestone may become the norm for newborns by 2050.
