Making promises.

When my child would ask to do something or desire something I might have said, "Not today but I promise in the future ...". Often I would never follow up on those.

Now, I am more inclined to say, "I will do my best to make that happen" or something along those lines but no promises.

Does everyone just buy in that this is just a network change gone wrong? OR could they be mitigating a breach/hack? OR could it be some other theory?

It will be interesting to see what other types of new technology (good & bad) emerge from this.

Such as: New rfid (or image) spoofing tech, etc.

-or-

Stories "Just walk out" store forgot to activate rfid tags on some product and customers walked out w/ (x) number of items for free.

This will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Does anyone know how you could go about installing your own regulator at your house on your gas line?

Would it even be able to mitigate something like this?

Curious..

> At what point do we collectively decide, you know what, this is ridiculous.

I would say things are at that point. So move to a different city. Success != The Valley

I could see using this for fraud detection and then kick off a 2FA flow if it couldn't verify.

However, most biometrics aren't the best single line of verification. You still have to add a backup verification of some kind.

Examples, I was working on my car all weekend and my hands have new calluses on them and my finger print is off. I got a new keyboard and my typing pattern is different, etc.
