Comment This guy has no idea how Face ID works (Score 5, Insightful) 441

This article is so stupid. The author clearly has no idea how existing biometrics that Apple offers work. Touch ID stores information in a secure element, and nowhere else. No cloud, no device transfer methods, nothing - it is On Device only. Face ID is no different. In fact, it doesnâ(TM)t even store images of your face - it reduces your faceâ(TM)s geometry to a mathematical equation that is literally impossible to reverse engineer, due to the high levels of iOS hardware security. Read the damn iOS Security Guide, published and updated by Apple - it is FULL if information on how this stuff works, how keys are handled, how the Secure Enclave works, how encryption works across the OS and user data, itâ(TM)s a great read and would put these inane âoefearsâ to rest simply by understanding how it works. âoePeoples will always fear what they donâ(TM)t understandâ

>and isnt available from any ISP in the States. What? That only equates to 178 Mb/s; people with gigabit fiber like myself can easily push that without even using a 5th of the max bandwidth. However I do agree it was an inside leak from a USB drive. Too many other factors make sense. But to say no ISP offers that speed capability is purely false.

No, not anymore - they removed it. I have AT&T Gigapower and no TV or phone service. It DID have a 1TB cap but they removed it a month ago. Also, this past week, they announced they are ending the "Internet Preferences" campaign - the deal that would scan your internet traffic and serve ads based on it. Before, you had to pay an additional $30 to not be subjected to the traffic monitoring; now, they are removing it entirely. So, I am paying a flat $70 a month (no taxes on fiber internet in TN for some reason) for unlimited gigabit speed with no traffic monitoring or ad serving.
