Can anyone speak to the relative safety or lack thereof using FaceID on individual apps while requiring a PIN to login to the device? I have my phone setup this way because FaceID can be so convenient. I know it opens up more attack vectors

There would be a presumption of intent. Probably an "aggravated" add-on to whatever charges you might be facing. I highly doubt we would send goon squads door to door to check your firmware. Then again, given today's situati

In my case, I park a car in my driveway overnight. My lights also help deter anyone who might wander near my neighbor's open carport. I run GE daylight 100w equivalent bulbs purchased from Lowe's from dusk to dawn. They last for y

First term Trump didn't quite have as many toadies willing to follow him no matter where he takes them. They also weren't quite so willing to blatantly violate the law and dare someone to do anything about it. Second term plans we

When the opposite side of the coin is Trumpism, yeah, I’m going with my definition of morality is correct. It isn’t perfect but it sure beats the alternative.

Funny enough, I have an acquaintance who has been job hunting for almost a year. They are expecting an offer from Amazon Corporate later this week or early next week. They are early in their career and will cost less to hire, so it still ma

We are already at a point where the richest 10% of Americans represent half of total consumer spending. A lot of companies would fail but plenty of them would survive just fine if we assume AI won't take literally ALL of the jobs. As f

Almost every time I've had a secondary search I've thought "Yeah, I can see how that looks suspicious on x-ray". A large block of cheese as one example. My two favorite pull-asides were for a three inch toy cannon my son

My in-laws live in a place like that. It's a gorgeous property but day to day errands are a challenge. I also fear the day one of them needs immediate medical care. The nearest urgent care is 20 minutes away and the nearest ER is at le

It's the dot com bubble all over again. When you are losing money on every transaction you can't make it up on volume.

There’s more profit in frozen dairy dessert and at least some customers can’t tell the difference or prefer it. For the rest of us, we wait for a sale or ice cream becomes a special treat.

Beer has done the same thing. A few years ago I could get any of a number of beers at Costco for $1 per can/bottle in a 24 pack. Now the cheapest name brand offerings are $1.33 per can and even the Kirkland brand is over $1. If I buy i

My favored brand of coffee finally succumbed to the shrinkflation pressures. Most brands in my local grocery store moved to 10oz bags of whole beans. My favorite brand was still 12oz but some of their specialty offerings were in 10oz bags.

Your retailer knows exactly how much you paid for shampoo. In most cases, they know it was exactly you who bought it. Data sharing agreements through direct or third parties complete the picture for both sides, retailer and card issuer.

It sounds like an older version of the app. I used to see all kinds of similar issues with Peacock on my Apple 4k device. NBC has put work in to make the app better over the years unlike say, Paramount+. I would check to see if you can manu

There is always another house for less. You will almost certainly have to sacrifice on something (size, location, condition) in order to find that lower price but you can get there if price isn’t flexible. Does no one remember “drive til yo

I have a pair of Bose QC35s and a set of AirPod Pros. More often than not, for a late night YouTube binge in bed, I’m reaching for the QC35s.

I think this is true of much of the traditional high school English curriculum. I was way ahead of most of my peers and still far too great an idiot to fully appreciate the novels we read. I have reread some of those classics as an adult an

She could had gotten everything she wanted if she only understood that blowing smoke up Trump's ass isn't good enough anymore. He demands bribes as well. If $1-6 million buys a pardon, how much buys a country?

You ever see The Accountant? That scene where he goes home and ups the stimulation to 13/10? I live my life in that world. Good luck getting any useful intel from my phone's microphone. https://youtu.be/Mb8krWbv1CI
