Telephone

[Mr Flibble]

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my
telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my
telephone. -- Bjarne Stroustrup

Yes, if you use it as a computer, that could be a problem. I have an old
iphone 4, 7 years old. Works like a charm, and after all those years I
do not find it difficult to dial up and speak with it. I do not do
anything else with that machine. Or maybe play a game of chess when I am
in the train.

Other phones seem more complicated. The new one it needs to look at you
to verify you are the person you say you are...

Sorry but that is quite ridiculous. I prefer the password. It is less
ridiculous, for starters, and has the advantage of not staying looking
at your phone like a stupid for ages... Look I do not like machines that
try to mistify themselves. The computer is not "recognizing you" because
it doesn't know who you are.

Just blindly following some facial recognition software that could be
made insecure at high probability by someone with a mask of your face.

!!!!!

How many software face recognition programs would fail to see a mask?

I guess anything below 100% is highly exaggerated.

:-)

Yes, it has a database of facts that are centered around an "owner"
software object somewhere. And it has pre-wired analysis of some
situations written by the software writers.

All that is quite OK, but facial recognition is just plain bad. A
password is more secure and faster!
