Apple says Face ID is more secure than Touch ID but is that even true?
Sure, Face ID is statistically less likely to return a false positive with random faces because faces are more diverse than fingerprints are but fingerprints are more randomly distributed, so the odds that you know someone who shares enough facial features with you (say, biological family members, for instance) to trigger a false positive have to be higher than someone you know having a similar enough fingerprint. Even though faces can potentially be more different between individuals, fingerprints are less often shared between people the user and people who regularly appear in his life, who are the most likely people to attempt to unlock his devices without his permission.
Additionally, if you're holding someone else's phone in their presence, I'd imagine it's harder to unlock their phone against their will by taking them by surprise with Touch ID than it would be with Face ID. With Face ID, all the user has to do is glance at the device for even a split second. With Touch ID, you need to place your finger -- the right finger -- on the sensor and press. It's a more involved and intentional process, but also a more convenient one because you don't have to uncover your face or position yourself correctly or make eye contact with the device in order to initiate the unlock sequence.
Shouldn't it also be harder to fabricate a counterfeit fingerprint than it would be to create a mask realistic enough to unlock the device?

Basically, Touch ID seems just better than Face ID across the board. The only practical upside to Face ID I can think of is the ability to read notification details without touching the device.

Is there something I'm not considering here or are fingerprint sensors just better than facial recognition?

The police can just hold your phone to your face to unlock it and the courts have allowed it.

Anon I think you're conflating Face Unlock (Android; uses RGB "selfie" cam) with Face ID (uses TrueDepth, separate from the selfie camera).
Taking a photo or video of the device's owner only works with Face Unlock because Face Unlock is purely software and just scans the camera feed for what looks like a face before comparing that face to the one on file. Face ID looks for shape, not color. It uses lasers to create a depth map of whatever objects are in front of it and compare that shape to the one on file. If you hold up a photo of the registered face, the TrueDepth camera won't see the photo. It'll just see the shape of whatever object is supposed to be displaying it. So, a hand holding a rectangle. And since neither of those shapes resemble a human head, it wouldn't trigger a false positive.
This is also why Face ID works in pitch black darkness and Face Unlock does not, and why Face ID doesn't care about things like makeup or lighting.

Hey what's the best way to deal with a scammer who took over someone's discord account?

Long story short I had a really close friend on discord only (rookie mistake but I didn't want to push then for anything personal =3)

And some scammers took over the account and are demanding 200 dollars . . . They first tried to scam me by pretending to be her to get me to give them money but it was obviously not the person so now their trying to scam me to maybe get info on contacting my friend :(

It makes me really sad and I was wondering if any of you fine folk might know what to do . . . Im not sure what the proper way to figure this out is frens. . .

>And I doubt they actually have the info; I feel like their just lying to try and scam more money as they tried a scam earlier

Any nice hacker folks who hate scammers about and might know a trick or two that could be pulled =3

This person was really a special person and I'd genuienly be a much sadder person if I never got to talk to them again.

Like I reported them to discord and nothing happened so idk what to do frens . . .

If the account was stolen, contact Discord support. Seems like the logical thing to do.

That being said, if you were such close friends, then this friend of yours can just make another account and contact you, no? Seems like a non-issue.
>>
>>107830073

That's the problem I've not found them again :( and i don't have another means of contacting them and idk if they would know my account to add it again.

But thanks for your recommendations and I'll report it to discord support.

I just bought a new phone and I've never been into physical keyboards. But I really appreciate that it has a headphone jack and wireless charging. I'm hoping they make a "small" phone next, without the keyboard.

Well, I am just a porn brained dude that finally reached a point in life I can take it easy enough to learn human relationships better and take care of my body and mind.

Not that I will get access to a womans intimate touch. And if I do manage to snag a wife, I'll probably end up just getting blueballed and my future kids taken hostage / turned against me and themselves.

I kinda think sexbots and artificial wombs / surrogacy children are the only solution to my problem, if I am were to be very adamant at taking what I am owed with consent.

Just wait until your hard drive is gummed up by old Linux kernel images the system keeps around "just in case", without telling you, without explaining why or how you may want to use them, and no way to clean them up except mucking around in the terminal. Just wait until your hard drive gets so gummed up it corrupts your bootloader and now you DEFINITELY have to muck around in the terminal to fix it. Except you can't be arsed and just let it sit for 9 months like a brick of shame, a non-testament to Linux's desktop readiness. Just wait.

https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of building a NAS in my place. The problem is I don't have a storage closet or anything to hide it, so it would be going right next to my workstation and home theater.

Is the Jonsbo N5 going to be really loud? I would replace the fans with say Arctic PWMs. Anyone have experience with this? I'm trying to avoid going the Fractcal Define 7 XL route since its so gargantuan.

I currently use a 10 year old pc in an old NZXT case with 2x 24tb, but I would be loading up the Jonsbo with 6x 24tb most likely
