Biometrics Active - A Weird Thing Happened Returning Through Airport - The Last Refuge     (theconservativetreehouse.com)

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/24/biometrics-active-a-weird-thing-happened-returning-through-airport/comment-page-1/

As most of you know I have been traveling extensively. However, a strange thing happened today upon return through the airport.

Apparently, all of the test pilots for biometrics, real ID etc. are now linked and active. As I approached the passport control kiosk with my passport in hand, the gentleman said “welcome back, enjoy the rest of your day,” and that was it.

I stood there for a second, asked if he needed my passport and he said, “no, you’re good. Go on through.” It seems the facial recognition software is live. You no longer need to show your U.S. passport or any ID when arriving through U.S. international passport control.

Now, I should say I have never signed up for TSA pre-check, Fast Track, or any other kind of Global Travel authentication. I have always opted to just be a grey traveler with as little a footprint as possible. I reentered the U.S. the same way in February and needed to show the traditional passport, etc. However, this time in April it was totally different. There is no longer any paperwork or documentation needed. It actually, seemed a little weird.

Never in my life did I suspect MP3s would go away     (technology)

Maybe a better file format in time. Like maybe FLAC or Orbis would pickup. It made sense that physical media began to go by the wayside: Vinyl records, 8-Track tapes, cassette tapes, optical discs. We finally landed on the digital mp3 computer file format in that late 90s / early 2000s. Now you could curate your entire collection on a hard disk, Solid State Disk, or Memory Card.

That was the pinnacle. The peak. Now people use mobile phones which have less functionality than a desktop computer (Making the youth non-proficient with technology) and now they pay for streaming services. Didn’t see that coming.

Has anyone else noticed that autocorrect has almost become destructive? It routinely now pics words that almost seem to be intentionally incorrect. It's a far cry from what used to be a simple spell check system and it seems to be everywhere and hard to turn off.     (technology)

You'll be typing or doing some speech to text and you can see that you can go a whole sentence and then suddenly autocorrect will go back and change five words within the sentence. so it's obviously trying to determine the context it thinks you're trying to say and expressing that. The only problem is it gets it really wrong.

And if you just arbitrarily hit send you're going to be sending out a message you didn't intend to send and who has time to look over every damn thing they post? I sure don't. You got 10 seconds to maybe pop a message out and you really kind of assume that the machine is not going to rewrite your whole message and so you hit send.

I would really like to get back to the way that a machine would just let you send a mistype to word I would rather have a mistyped word go out than an actual word I didn't mean to say or even a whole phrase I didn't mean to say.

because like I said autocorrect now I've caught it several times going back over a sentence that I've just completed and it gets the whole sentence and it thinks you meant to say something else and it'll literally change four or five words in the whole sentence and you can watch it happen.

It really means that you should probably take the time to really oversee every damn message you right because it's like you've got a little demon in your computer that's f****** with every message you write and purposely trolling you and screwing around with what you're trying to say.

And I literally watched autocorrect do that with this message as I was typing it.

Why smartphones are full of idiotic cameras?     (technology)
submitted by Conspirologist to technology 6 days ago (+1/-4)
4 comments last comment...
I have noticed that smartphones are now full of idiotic cameras. All smartphones I had needed just one camera for code scans. Now they look absurd with the back all filled with idiotic cameras.

I was able to find only Pixel 8 looking normal. Even if it has 2 cameras, they are still small and not annoying. All the other smartphones have more than 2, or even all back filled with multiple cameras.

Who the hell need this kind of useless junk?

I really wonder if we aren't finally coming to the end of the house as an investment kind of thinking. What's really needed is stackable movable residences that when you want to move a crane comes and picks up your house and it goes down the road maybe fold it up and it's placed where you want to live the next time.

But in order for that to happen so many things would have to change including the basis for lots of local government taxation which is founded on inflated values of homes and property in that particular jurisdiction. The idea of residency tied to a particular address and a lot more.

Elon Musk vs. Developers: Mass Layoffs, Public Feuds, and the Crumbling Trust     (technology)
submitted by byte to technology 1 week ago (+2/-0)
0 comments...
When Elon Musk took over Twitter—now X—in October 2022, the tech world braced for disruption. But no one anticipated just how brutal, personal, and messy the clash between the billionaire and the company’s own developers would become. What followed was a wave of layoffs so abrupt it felt like a purge, public spats with former employees, and a growing rift between Musk and the very engineers who once kept Twitter running.
