Looking at https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6300638 and https://www.androidcentral.com/how-does-android-save-your-fingerprints, I'm curious what y'all think about modern #Android devices' "Trusted Execution Environment" storing #fingerprints (for authentication, unlocking, etc.) in, allegedly, a TPM-backed secure enclave that the OS doesn't have access to (really?)… For Pixel phones, Google claims biometrics never leave the TEE enclave, never touch servers, etc.
I wouldn't use it to travel… but local? I saw some geek friends using it.

ICE to keep an eye on your eyes under $25M #biometric scanner deal
If you thought US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s widespread use of face recognition apps was a privacy violation, you’re about to get eye-rate over a new $25 million contract.
ICE parent agencyDHS, US immigration cops paid about $25.1 million to a company called Bi2 Technologies for 1,570 biometric recognition devices able to identify people through #fingerprints, iris scans, and #facialrecognition.

Babylonian Biometrics and Widespread Methodological Shortcomings | Communications of the ACM
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3744705I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.
Also, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents

The State of Anti-Surveillance Design
To outsmart #surveillance systems, it’s helpful to understand them. #Facialrecognition —which identifies an individual face—works differently from #biometric scans that look at a person’s #iris or #fingerprints , & those systems work diff from #ALPR , which could in theory match an individual’s movements to a car through a DB. & consumer-level facial recognition systems, like #Pimeyes , operate using diff #algorithms & DB

CBC never talks about how to stop climate change because they are extractionists, oil expansionists, Alberta oil promoters. CBC is corrupt enough to call even building the new energy, stopping oil expansion "radical"
The CBC is owned* in whole by the oil patch clique of Oil Corps.
