Yep that's how I want to wake up, with a mini heart attack ...

Fun thing, this has already been cracked with pictures of faces 😆

They want to give people heart attacks so they die and can't complain about microsoft

Does that mean you would have to turn on your light so that the camera would catch your face? Or what if you got into a car accident? So many questions

Kiss your data goodbye

The date on your laptop seems very wrong.

@LynxMagnus lmao, it's not May 9th and not September 5th, you're right

@filthyranter Great Scott!!! This picture is from the future ;)

Microsoft, kiss my ass.

@linuxxx I'm going to put this blunt. What you said is absolute BS. Windows Hello uses dual cameras to measure depth of a face and is NOT easily fooled especially compared to Android.

Next time I suggest that you think before you speak 🙄

@Telescuffle Hmm this is weird. I didn't just speak because I 'thought' this was already hacked but I actually saw quite some articles about this which I literlaly cannot find back right now.

Edit: (not a comment edit but after searching some) I do have to retract part of my statement and partly not as well. It's not regular photo's but low resolution 3D images which can 'crack' windows' hello login proccess.
Also someone noticed that after a few failed logins through the windows hello login thingy and then pressing the Notes key, they could access parts of the system as well. Still, I'd recommend KonBoot.

Partly, sorry, my info was partly wrong. Other part, not sorry because it's quite easy to bypass the authentication mechanism anyways.

@Telescuffle Glad the good old KonBoot way still works though :P

@linuxxx @Telescuffle Source on the last comment: my own penetration tests.

@-c-- Well said

@dontbeevil Windows 10 does force you to update, you can only delay it for 35 days and I don't judge either, people should use what they want if they think it's best for them.

@dontbeevil It's okay the way it is now, most people should use OSX and Windows because they're best for the average user, but I tried developing in W10 and it was just a pain in the ass

@dontbeevil

Yes, it can force you to update. Yes you can turn that off but I know from second hand experience (was sitting next to a friend when he explicitly turned automatic updates off) that that doesn't always work out (hell it updated right in front of our fucking eyes while it was deffo set to off.). Also it updated his laptop from windows 7 to 10 over lunchbreak and literally all his files were gone. (no I am not making this up, I witnessed the whole fucking thing happen and helped him in trying to recover some files which didn't work out).

As for the linux nazi part, I am going to rephrase that to OS nazi's*.

Just my experiences/opinions, not meaning to personally attack anyone! @dontbeevil I still respect you :).

@dontbeevil I expected some angry comment back at me from you, well, that didn't happen 😅

@dontbeevil Machine Learning/Python right now, but I do it as a hobby, mainly I'm a chemistry student :)

@linuxxx Sorry I was so snappy, I just get sick of the windows negativity on this app at times. Each OS has there own benefits but I think people forget that windows is used by your average joe user and not by techys like us. I would also add the notification like this benefit standard users. I know people who still didn't know that window snapping was a thing till last week!

I've actually been using windows hello for the last 2 years on my phone and it's not been fooled by anything I've tried yet. So I think for the average user its a quicker way to log in whilst still being secure.

@Telescuffle Thanks for the apology, appreciated! And as for biometric authentication, I am just highly against it. Yes, it provides a great level of uniqueness but there is one major obstacle: if you get hacked (fingerprint hijacked or whatsoever, it's been done before), you're fucked. You can change passwords easily but you can't change your biometrical features just like *click*! That worries me on quite some levels. And as for Windows, I'll keep my mouth shut because you know how I think about that operating system.

@linuxxx I get what your saying, but its not easy to hack all biometric security. I would guess finger print would be the easiest but I would guess that iris and 3d depth sensing face recognition would be harder. I could also argue many people write down passwords in books or are stored in digital files so are possibly easier to steal. Haha, I could guess by the name 😝 having used all 3 windows is better for what I do and I like the way Microsoft are now developing the OS. Though I always have a Linux VM 😝

@Jop- I'm not too sure what you mean. Mind elaborating? 🤔

@linuxxx we tried it at work with someone's Microsoft surface , we couldn't get in it how hard we tried

Not recommended if you are into boxing.

Wake up at 9:39pm?

A wise man once said:

"Fingerprint and Face Recognition are good for identification, not for authentication."

@Jop- at least you could change it. Changing your face is quite expensive or really hurtful.

The combination or two-factor is what makes the whole thing more secure.
