You made the mistake of commenting positively on a product you like on an lemmy post about that product. People on lemmy post only about companies to hate on them, much of the time without reading, thinking or knowing anything about it. And yes everyone who don’t jump on the bandwagon is downvoted.

Apple and Tesla seems to be the main targets, yet no valid alternatives or constructive discussions are ever to be had.

I looked it up and you are totally right, it was in 2022 which wouldn’t have been as fast as I remembered/wrote before!

Fair point, however None of those are FaceID by Apple, all links are Android in either title/link or subtitle on the page. You did answer by question: why people don’t use face unlock on Android is they are horribly implemented vs FaceID on iPhones, so I will apologize for being pretentious!

Ah like in the movies!? I saw a movie where they got someone’s pass code by watching them type it from a satalite, trough a windows 😅

It’s not how any of those work.

My friend got an nudged android and it seems very bad implemented where it covers content in many apps and it had no functionality like it does on iPhone. On iPhone it’s part of the notification system showing you info from other apps, for an example the timer app shows the time while cooking in nudge while I am on lemmy. Yes on a side by side screenshot it seems alot worse than using my old Motorola next to my IPhone, the “dead pixel” nudge on Android seem to annoy people alot more

I don’t usually use my phone while it’s flat on a table, but I can say FaceID does work at an angle, because I just tap the screen and it reads my face and shows me notifications (I don’t have always on turned on and have hidden notifikation content behind the login as well)

Apple quickly implemented a Mask FaceID scan so you could unlock with mask, I used that or just swiped my watch for payments etc. I did see quite a few android friends go back to fingerprint I remember

That might be an android flow, not ios. On my iPhone I pick up th phone and it turns on screens by itself and unlock instantly

I don’t understand why “FaceID” isn’t more of a stardard on Android. I remember people online complaining when Apple got rid of TouchID on their phones, yet anyone who use FaceID quickly forget that fingerprint skanners are a thing. It works so fast and you don’t have to complain about where a sensor might be on a device, if you can see the screen the screen the device is unlocked.

I got myself a synology about 8 years ago for the same reasons you listed up. NAS storage local and out, while being able to run a few small services like Plex for streaming media (looking to try Jellyfin at some point).

There is a premium cost for the NAS but att I didn’t want to fiddle around building my own and then setting up something like Unraid, which atm is running on and old laptop and might be my pick for my NAS solution in a few years.

Worst kind of commenter. I bet when people ask for advice on buying sneakers you list 5 pair of sandals, and bait to start an argument against wearing shoes…

Anyway OP I also just looked on my iPhone and get the same results as the top poster for widgets. Does indeed look like they changed it at some point. I am also sure I had one with buttons for lights on both the phone and watch.

Spot on 😆

So you do use an iPhone great! Because it’s the only phone OS not bypassable by your own government and FaceID is optional. Making their password unlock th most secure in the industry and being someone of high authentication security you must then use it right?

Ofc you don’t, you just shit on an optional featur bacuse you have other totally unrelated issues with the device or should I say company…

Sad when a secure and fast way to unlock your device is seen as a vulnerability, just because you live in a 3rd world country military state where you fear and are in odds with your governments law enforcement. For the rest of us, it’s secure and like others said, easy to turn off with a few button presses if the need arises.

Agree with the others. Also try not using the word “Killing” on a platform famous for using automated moderation almost exclusively. The word is fine in the context you are using, but it will probably trigger a few mod bots.
