Video shows 10-year-old unlocking mother's iPhone X via Face ID
If the truth of it is that the FaceID was trained to the kids face somehow, then whatever rules are being set to adapt recognition over time must be adjusted. Apple claimed 1:1000000 false positives, there are enough videos out there to put that in question.

Apple slams story of cash hidden in Jersey to reduce taxes, calls itself 'largest taxpayer...
are we comparing apples w apples here? From my reading Apple claims their tax liability to include consumption taxes like sales tax, vat, and gst which in concept are actually imposed on the consumer.radarthekat said:
Do you pay taxes on your money earned every year? All of it? Or do you take advantage of provision in tax law that allows you set defer taxes on a portion of your income; 401(k)? Apple isn’t only the largest tax payer in the world, it’s also the largest in the US. And, Applepays a higher tax rate than many other large US corporations. Did you know GE managed its taxes for many years to pay an effective tax rate of 0%? That’s where the problems lie, not with provisions that work to allow corporations to defer repatriation.spice-boy said:Cities, towns and of course countries give tax breaks or deferrals to large companies all the time. Look at those ridiculous mega sports stadiums which American cities subsidize for billionaire team owners using city and state taxes. After the construction how many locals really benefit outside of low paying service jobs and some mid-managmene positions. It should not be any surprise that mega corporations like Apple take advantage of "loop holes" which are not errors in the tax code but carefully crafted "tax escapes" for big companies to exploit. The authors of these tax laws are trying to please their real masters and I am not talking about the average citizen. Political campaigns are fueled mostly by huge corporations which contribute to both candidates so no matter which wins they now have someone who is grateful and needs to pay back the favor.
Apple pays the most taxes because Apple is the most profitable company in the world, what do they want an award for this?
I can say with certainty that nothing will change in regards to these tax haven and I find it almost ironic that companies such as Apple have amassed so much money and seem to be unable to access it now. Bite the bullet Apple, pay taxes on that money earned like the rest of do.
Surely ge can’t escape those?

Apple Watch Series 3 LTE use not ideal for marathon runners, offers 3 hours of streaming m...
I think anyone more than semi serious about running a marathon is not going to use an Apple watch to track progress toward it.
Im part of a running community of some 200 people and Garmin is by far the weapon of choice. I don’t know a single runner who uses Apple Watch to do so.
Its an an interesting idea to use Apple Watch but it’s really a smart watch with tracking features more than it is a running watch.
Its standalone gps accuracy is not as good either, if you believe dcrainmaker.

Review: Alpine's iLX-107 is the first, and best, aftermarket wireless CarPlay receiver
Maybe I'm old school but I'd rather be able to reach for something tactile and use it, rather than have to look for and locate a button, taking concentration off the road. As it happens I replaced the unit in my VW with the RCD330 which has knobs (two in fact). It's something I prefer and I'm just expressing that view.vmarks said:
That would make the screen smaller. If you have steering wheel controls, make the screen as big as possible and forget the rotary volume knob.djsherly said:Yes, kind expensive but also a bit bummed that it doesn't have a rotary volume control.
