Reply to Anyone know when they add more states? by 2Adude

It’s all dependent on state by state law/ legislation. They have to approve it individually and have to be willing to apply it to all their state and local police agencies as a valid form of ID for all purposes of a physical one. And or make exceptions to some purposes and deny others based of individual views on it. It’s a complicated thing to adopt a digital ID nation wide when we’ve had nothing but physical id’s for so long.

Except it doesn't matter and if you believe Apple is not spying on you as much as anybody else you are just naive.

Edit: there are four antitrust lawsuits in relation to privacy against them. One of those lawsuits is exactly related to the fact they kept tracking you, despite whether you've opted out. I wouldn't exactly call them the bastion of privacy.

Edit 2: their advertising revenue basically tripled from 2020 to 2021. And you certainly don't do that by not tracking people. They want you to think they give a shit about privacy. They do not. They care about money, and currently the money is in advertising. How do you see Google taking the major cut in the advertising pie without Apple's participation? If you still don't believe me they track you as much as Google - simply read their terms and conditions. Quite the read.

Reply to Which MagSafe power bank brand are you choosing for your iPhone 14? by AptCovering

I have Baseus 10000mAh, it's working great. But only Apple Official products can charge phone with 15w, power banks from other brands only support 7.5w. Fine by me anyways. Apple's products are always the best since it is the most compatible, but if you're looking for a budget choice, Baseus is my go-to.

Mine is this one without the kickstand, but I choose this one because it has the design that perfectly fit with my camera. https://www.baseus.com/products/magnetic-power-bank-20w-10000mah

The biggest issue is people don’t know how to train it and actively work against its learning abilities. If you try to unlock and FaceID fails, DO NOT relock the phone and try it again in a more ideal position.

When FaceID has enough info that it thinks it’s you but not enough to authenticate you properly, if you authenticate with the passcode immediately after it fails it will add that data to the algorithm so it’s more likely to identify you in the future.

> Face ID will also update this data when it detects a close match but a passcode is subsequently entered to unlock the device.

You can even rapidly train for certain angles or whatever by doing a FaceID unlock -> fail -> unlock with passcode -> lock and repeat until it recognises you.

I pretty much never have FaceID fail to authenticate unless the sensor is covered by something.

I’m convinced the problem some people have with Face ID is caused by the way they set it up.

When I set my Face ID up I held the phone down low where I would naturally hold it while using it.

I’ve seen people hold the phone directly out in front of them while setting up their Face ID and it causes the shape of their face to look different.
