Oh, so weird how I can all of a sudden view your profile again. Anyway, I hope the lesson on how to Google was helpful to a "tech savvy" person such as yourself. Seems a basic lesson but I'm willing to offer it for free

The only reason I'd use fingerprint over FaceID is if I'm wearing a mask, but those days are behind us and FaceID also works with a mask anyway because it's able to

Fingerprint scanners don't work with my touch-friendly gloves that I do still wear, though

Well, see my use case of using it in the dark and the phone needing to increase brightness to maybe work vs. an IR projector just working regardless

And 2D imaging is easier to fool and 3D. That's just like a fact all you need to do is think about for a sec to prove, and can google if you want further verification

Not only that but in other poor lighting (dim, bright, odd shadows) conditions 2D fails significantly more often than 3D

It's like super neet 2013 tech apparently works flawlessly 100% for the time for you. But that is not the majority experience and most Android users don't even bother with 2D facial recognition due to the issues in reliability and responsiveness, let alone diminished security. Some Pixel users being the outliers since they have proper facial recognition

Maybe you should have included your OS version in your Google search and save yourself some headache? Google also has a "tools" option to let you only see results from the past week/month/year/etc you can use so you don't follow outdated guides

You're welcome

Lol, u/Robot_Embryo blocked me after leaving his comment. All I wanted to do was teach a self proclaimed "tech savvy" person how to use Google

My favorite part is how you've focused on just the security and left the increased reliability and responsiveness completely untouched lol

Again, an IR solution is just better across the board man. It's why Windows Hello doesn't certify webcam only solutions, and why extra hardware is worth it unless your single issue is aesthetics. It's nice having facial recognition that doesn't need to blind you in the dark to work

I mean that's cool and all, but the Apple/Pixel approach is just objectively better, more reliable, more secure, and works under more circumstances and there's currently no way of fitting it into a hole punch is the only point I was making. It's nice that the 2013 approach to facial recognition is all you need (my S4 in highschool used the same setup) but that's not the case for everyone

Apples FaceID is indeed more sophisticated than the Galaxy in order to make it both more secure and more reliable, as well as enable it to work under more conditions. Such as in a completly dark room without the need to increase the phone brightness

From facing camera vs. an IR projector and receiver are wildly different things when it comes to facial recognition

If you're spending that much time on something that simple you need to improve your Googling, reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills man

Until under screen sensors and cameras improve, I don't think Apple can offer a camera and FaceID in just a hole punch

Was that a raw Quixote reference or one by proxy via The Expanse?

Keep in mind that a lot of the Space Force was consolidated from stuff the Navy and Air Force was already doing. They just took those jobs and placed them under the purview of the newly created Space Force

The Space Force has it's own new initiatives too, but a good chunk of that money was already allocated to projects that were already budgeted for but being operated by the other branches

The same way Helen Keller did like 100 years ago. Hands on the face to feel vibrations and movements of someone's speech, then lots and lots and lots of practice with someone who has the patience to help you learn to replicate those vibrations yourself
