that actually might have been accurate. my garmin was really good at picking up my heart rate. there was one time i had it in a waist pack, and i was wearing a chest strap that was not paired to the garmin, and the garmin managed to pick

my experience with garmin (vivoactive, not fenix) was that they had all kinds of precision and detail, but it also didn't even notice when i got up to pee in the middle of the night - just a straight line through the graphs as though i

the way a PIN works in other contexts is the same concept as what microsoft means. Your PIN for your bank card doesn't give anybody access to your bankaccount. that would be terrible. your pin acts as a secondary level of authenticati

A PIN is not a password, because it only works on a device that you have already autheticated using some much more secure mechanism. if there is anywhere that you can use a PIN without additional authentication it's not a PIN, it'

100% of what? 100% of the potential revenue that the advertising might bring in? that sounds horrifically difficult to implement.

less overall commute time, yeah, but it means your day might be literally nothing but work and sleep. probably not long-term sustainable.

your face is the pin code, not the passkey. it unlocks the cryptographically secure device, it doesn't replace it. to access your passkey through faceid, they have to steal your phone, unlock your phone, and then spoof faceID.

by notatoad 2y ago
a good passkey implementation allows multiple passkeys. you can have faceid on your mac, and you can also have a yubikey in a safe somewhere for disaster recovery. also, passkeys get backed up in iCloud, so losing your device isn't

i've never heard of people doing this to skin or clothes, but i know it's a thing for dogs and horses - you rub snow on their feet after a stream crossing, and the dry snow pulls the water out of their fur.
