I sometimes thought that it unlocked my iPhone either very slowly or way faster than expected, sometimes I was astonished it unlocked...

    iPhone X Random FaceID checks from websites?

    For those with the X, have you noticed that certain websites perform a FaceID scan for no apparent reason? I understand when confronted with a login screen why it would do a scan, but I’m starting to see it even when there is no prompt for a login or even if I’ve already logged in to a site...

    Sierra disabled password requirement on DiskImages ?

    Hi! In the last round of updates, it seems Apple has decided I no longer need to enter a password to open my encrypted (dmg) disk images. I can now open them without having to enter my password!
