Yes, we have beat passwords when you consider human behavior.

No, we’ve not beat a 30-character passphrase.

However, FaceID is several orders of magnitude more secure than a 6-digit PIN, which is always some stupid pattern like “115599" and is entered repeatedly and slowly.

I see so many people still using PINs, and I…

It isn’t the money that keeps these lawmakers toeing the NRA official line.
The NRA’s power is not in money, but in the fact that their members SHOW UP, not only to vote, but to every committee meeting, reading, and anything else where the public can show up and comment on something to do with guns.
You might show up to…

Part of being an adult manager is making sure your employees are effective, and that means making sure they have paid sick time and a workload that can be distributed to others when someone is sick.
It may also mean making telecommuting an option, at least when someone is sick, if you ignore the other two points.

I’m curious what Esther’s opinion is on whether or not the cheater has the responsibility to tell the person they cheated with that their spouse knows? 

The Taurus Judge is a load of hype and a crap defensive weapon.

Come on, Signal. You rock at the rest of this, I have no idea why you won’t just let non-cell accounts be created?

Glad you agree that we need to increase the minimum wage.

Because history has told us this is a VERY bad idea.
We had this before, in this country, and it was absolutely designed to keep non-whites from voting.
You know all the issues we have with Gerrymandering? The same people that design voters districts would certainly design the tests.

They could, but why would they want to? That is just making it more complex and have less quality than they wanted.
They created HLS for a reason, and one of those reasons is how well it plays with CDNs, which help it make it to your ISP in HD.

Hold on.
A few weeks ago, Lifehacker told me that I can say “literally” when I actually mean “figuratively”. Hyperbole is accepted and I just need to chill.
I didn’t exactly agree, but I’m dealing with it.
Now, I’m told that I can’t use hyperbole to express how thankful I am that I’m not a single parent most of the time.
…

They literally make the same sound coming from me and everyone I’ve heard.
I believe that you have them as different sounds, but I don’t know if I’m pronouncing both “pin” or “pen”.

How do you do it differently? Add a syllable, like “pee-in”?

Please, share some facts. I’m still waiting for your list of people that have lost their fingers to iPhone thieves.

In this case, I’m pointing out that a dedicated motion coprocessor running at 150 MHz instead of the main CPU at 2,300 MHz factually uses less of a smartphone’s battery.

Fingerprint sensors have been on phones for a few years now. Please send me stories of the mass finger amputations. :/

It isn’t the app, or the battery. It is the hardware:

Anything that’s always on is a big battery drain.

The motion sensor happens on a dedicated chip, and consumes far less power than a screen or CCD.

You could use a alphanumeric password instead of a PIN for that 20-25% of the time, and/or make sure to hide your entry of the password/PIN.

Still, that’s 75% of the time you’re doing something better than tapping 111222 for all to see.

Just because people are too dumb/naive to take proper security precautions doesn’t mean we should start using flawed options.

Another thing about calling this stupid: People still unlock their phone with PINs like 111222, even with a thumbprint sensor on the phone.
Most people suck at keeping their phone secure, and enrolling all your fingers into the senor is a PITA they don’t want to hassle with. As a result, they are far less secure…
