It’s time to ban all government use of face recognition: digital rights group
Fight for the future, a digital rights advocacy group, is a calling for a nationwide ban on government use of facial recognition since this tech may be too dangerous to civil liberties. Right now your phone uses your camera to unlock, and there are tons of other tech that capture your facial information as well. Some cities like San Francisco and Summerville, Massachusetts have recently banned local agencies from using this tech, but its still used for law enforcement. The problem however, is the fear of this leading to a surveillance state where everybody would be tracked as they travel from place to place

The good news in any case is that there’s no notch
Story of the day:
New MacBook Air and Base 13-Inch MacBook Pro Have Same Keyboard as Higher-End 2019 MacBook Pros
Apple releases 2019 Retina MacBook Air with True Tone display, lowers price to $1099 — $999 for students
Apple significantly lowers Mac SSD upgrade pricing, 1 TB MacBook Air now available
A lot of changes went down at Apple last night with their Back to School refreshes, so bare with us.
○ First off, the 12-inch MacBook has been discontinued, or at least we don’t even see it on Apple’s website any more. Long live the new MacBook that I’m now happy I didn’t buy a couple of weeks ago.
○ The entry level is now only the MacBook Air, and it actually got some upgrades, like a TrueTone display and better starting price of $1099, in addition to a new higher tier model that goes up to 1TB of storage.
○ And then there are the changes to the MacBook Pro, where the non-touch bar variant is now dead, or sort of dead. See, all models now have a Touch Bar, but now and replaced with an entry level touchbar variant at $1299.
○ Probably the most interesting change is upgrades, as Cupertino is dropping the price on those across the board. To give you an idea, in the past if you wanted a 4TB SSD on a MacBook Pro, that was a $2800 premium. Yeah, that got cut in half.
○ Oh and no, you won’t be getting the new rumored scissor keyboard switches just yet.. You’ll be stuck with the improved butterfly mechanism, but Apple has even confirmed that if you have any issues, replacements are free.
And yes I wish I could give you discounted prices for iPhones but no, those retain the same
