Become a security research and they will

My understanding on this is that Apple is expanding existing contracts. Some involve doubling billion dollar contracts which adds up faster than this deal.

One of the things they announced when they made the original pledge was 20k for new high income jobs which is easily billions per year in salaries. Plus this requires expanding their various campuses because they do not allow work from home, so several more billion there.

These tech companies are massive so expanding their existing footprints adds up very quickly. Other mega tech corps like Meta and Google are increase spending by tens of billions just on AI expansion, however they haven't pledge that be specific to the US.

Fingerprint readers require touching a specific spot with a specific digit.

Face recognition only requires the user be looking at the device.

The bigger argument is fingerprint readers can be more secure.

I personally would prefer a device that does both simultaneously for secure requests like accessing credentials.

That's not what I said.

I can't say I'm surprised how adamantly people want to play the disability card. Life's hard. My family is full of people with adhd and the ones that lean into it are all doing very very poorly. Those of us that have worked out coping mechanisms have all increased our socioeconomic position.

It's your life. Do with it what you want.

This sort of thinking isn't unique to ADHD. For example, there are also Little people who refuse to see themselves as disabled.

That doesn't mean those who choose to see themselves are disabled are wrong but anyone who demands someone see themselves as disabled is not only wrong, they're also an asshole.

Life is all about coping. Feeling like your neurological differences makes you weak is one way to cope but not for me.

A village.

Not my village.

Silly poors.

Good alternative, not fantasy.

I've worked at a company that used both. One for development the other for support tickets.

The idea that people would use ServiceNow for development tasks is scary.

Always thought the equivalent here was "white trash" not red necks.

A red neck is based more on profession.

If the tech proves out and scales, Apple and Samsung will eventually incorporate it but by that time the smaller players will have moved on to newer tech.
