Biometric Security

This article about a “flaw” in the Samsung Galaxy S10 in-screen fingerprint reader is nothing but click-bait that I probably shouldn’t be linking to but it got me thinking about so-called biometric security “flaws.” Samsung: Anyone’s thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone This is the BBC article headline, and like all the others I’ve seen reporting the issue, make it sound like a widespread, serious flaw where anybody could pick up anybody’s S10 and unlock it, which I do not believe is the case.

Chicago O’Hare is a big airport but it’s hard to realize how big it is until you see it from the air.

It’s a work in progress but my site is dark mode enabled, and should switch automatically based on your device theme. Many thanks to andynicolaides and his post, and chet for his help with changing the color of some objects. I’ll do a more thorough post when I’m done.

So…I β€œbought” an iPhone 11 today (128GB, ProjectRed). I say β€œbought” because it was effectively free to me. I had some Best Buy gift cards and gift cards from fuel rewards programs at work. Between those, and trading in my Pixel 3, I didn’t have to pay any out of pocket.
