"necessary only" also tends to have a malicious compliance aspect where they don't store a cookie recording your preference and show the banner on every single page until you click accept.

My main issue with these systems is that they tend to not be able to do anything beyond what I can do myself in whatever self-service portal is available. If I'm calling, it's because I need support beyond what the bot can probably provide, and it just becomes a matter of arguing with the robot to get to a human who can actually solve my problem.

They have not, at least in my region, it's a fun little party trick when I see a locked cart out on the sidewalk.

yep, it can be detected in JS and even CSS with a media query: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pref...

Depends on how the dev wants to implement it, usually when I'm throwing a small animation on a site I'll silently respect the preference and skip the animation without an override option, but for a site like this I'd expect an override switch.

A more convenient manual that frequently spouts falsehoods, sure.

My favorite part is when it includes parameters in its output that are not and have never been a part of the API I'm trying to get it to build against.

Could also make it a site rule that _all_ jobs postings should include a pay range. Shouldn't have to waste your time applying to a job that has a pay range you would never accept.

I've found that face/retina scans are usually bad UX, especially if you need to use a viewfinder or a statically positioned device. Apple's Face ID works well because it's on a mobile device and you don't have to align your face in a box.

I don't see how this is any more convenient than using a mobile wallet. In fact, it looks less convenient than using the actual card - even if you forget the card you can usually just key in the number at the terminal.

I doubt this will change anything in the space. iOS and macOS (through Safari) has offered password management for years at this point. This is just a more flexible version of that system.

It's a real input field now!

The best part is GPay also included a messaging component. It was close to feature parity with Google Allo.

Washington doesn’t even officially offer a RealID. Instead they have the “Enhanced ID” which functions as a passport card but does not have the security features required on a RealID (though it does have some additional features like RFID).

I really hope the profile management system keeps tab containers working the same. It's incredibly useful to have different containers automatically generated for AWS console sessions.
