The idea that facial recognition was just to determine if someone is in front of the machine is a diversion. A simple occupancy sensor would do the same, cheaper and more simply.

I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

US government doesn’t grasp that sanctions will only further motivate their internal technology development, until it surpasses US tech. China isn’t North Korea. They have plenty of local talent and capabilities.
The US govt is unable to fathom that SMIC internally innovated to allow 7nm, and now 5nm process that does not need the sanctioned tech. Also, SMIC is likely stretching the truth, calling their N+1 tech 7nm, just to taunt the US.

Taken by me!
