    Ya know I may be a Californian Redneck but I do at least with my facial features look pretty big standard ethnically Scottish, how many false positives could I trigger with my ugly mug? Regardless get one of those blowtorch lighters and melt the plastic camera lenses on these pieces of absolute detritus.

      Didn’t apple get sued because a Chinese woman’s sister could unlock her phone?

      … Just googled it and there’s multiple cases with Chinese users, including a coworker and a woman’s son.

        I wonder if there’s a technical reason or just lack of neural network training on some communities.

        I’m specifically thinking of the nose bridge and cheeks area of people with some Asian relatives in their gene pool. The sunken nose bridge and puffy cheeks appearance is so prevalent that a lot of prescription glasses are sold as “Asian fit” so that it clears the cheeks. My partner is half Laotian and half white/Hispanic, and she needs Asian fit glasses despite not looking particularly Asian.

        I’m wondering if their facial recognition software focuses too much on the shape of the middle of the face, which could lead to close Asian relatives, who share a lot of the same genes, to be scanned as the same person as they may have the exact same nose-cheek area shape.

      Yeah it works great they don’t even need to register, the system says they already did.

      Heck of a credit card bill, for that one guy. I wonder if theres a sneaky line in the TOS about how “best effort” is good enough and sticks him with the bill anyway.

      Here in the UK, regular supermarkets are absolutely littered with cameras. Every fart is on record. It’s insane.
