Unlock your Mac without typing a thing

- saadshamim 13y agoIt has its uses, I usually leave my laptop unlocked when I'm amongst trusted friends, a layer of protection that's this quick is a great idea in my mind. I think it matters on the use case, if you're on a computer where security is paramount, don't use it, but is a convenient feature to have for a lot of other situations.
- cstrat 13y agoif you're too excited you might test the durability of your screen!!
- 25cf 13y agoDoes anyone have any idea how the phone detects knocks and differentiates it from, say, rolling around in your backpack? I know the LG G2 also has a "knock detection", e.g. the phone turns on when you knock on it twice. I want this feature in one of my apps so I'm just curious about how this is done.
- holyjaw 13y agoI'd assume the accelerometer is able to differentiate between the sharp staccato of a rapping of the knuckles vs. the steady circular motion of rolling.
- Schwolop 13y agoIs this actually a problem people have? I get that it's novel and cool, but can't fathom why I'd want it.
- serkanyersen 13y agoMore like a novelty item to have or showing off to your friends but other than that typing my password makes me feel more secure. Nice video though!
- petertb 13y agoThis link was posted here a few days ago. Nice looking site and vid. The big drawback is (apparently) the app mimics your computer lock screen - i.e your computer is not actually locked, just the app has gone fullscreen and makes it look locked. Not sure about security implications?
