I just wait for a cellular MacBook with Face ID. It’s about time.

I wonder if the issue for not including Face ID is that multiple faces being recognized accurately is still an issue. I feel like they had planned to offer it with the inclusion of the notch years ago.

Unlike fingerprints, Apple does state that underage familiar members may cause Face ID to execute a false positive I also know of someone whose iPhone can be accessed by one of their friends.

How much space on the Secure Enclave does Face ID use over each fingerprint with Touch ID? If it's not space, is there another technical reason for not including it yet?

Speaking of breaking, why has Automator been broken for 3 major macOS updates now. I can run a workflow from within the Automator app, I can use old apps I've created using Automator, but if I create a new one or edit a workflow that I then export to an app it doesn't get built correctly. This happening across multiple Macs.

This is a direct assault on Democracy, Freedom and Individual Privacy. In essence, it's a direct assault on the values that they claim to be protecting. George Orwell must be turning in his grave.

And don't forget, in England you can be jailed for misgendering someone. Now that's scary stuff.

You mean this?

this app is HORRIBLE! Almost unusable, got a lengthy spinning gearwheel, the U/I for adding invitees is nonsensical, it finds locations in distant locales, rather than locally. Feels like an early alpha version, months away from shipping quality. WTF Apple?

This has been an issue with Apple Maps since the beginning.

I'd prefer Gulfy McWetface!

Seems like you're making a funny node to Boaty McBoatface, which Colbert helped to push back on his The Colbert Report series on Comedy Central. Back in 2010 his character on that show also pushed for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
