They’re called Macs, iPhones, and iPads.

macOS has been UNIX certified since 2001. NeXTSTEP, what Mac OS X and macOS is based on, was UNIX certified from 1986-1997 or so until development stopped.

iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, CarPlay… they are all UNIX.

UNIX workstations didn’t go away, they just got very pretty.

That’s 180 degrees, not 360

It’s also caused the VPN market to explode. 10 years ago, very few people knew what a VPN was or even needed one. Bit torrent block lists used to be good enough to protect you. But media companies became more aggressive, and everyone switched to VPNs.

Oh thank goodness! Until now, I’ve had to reach in there and check with my hand!

It’s not face recognition that’s “threatening“ this. It’s profiteering corporate overlord assholes. Put the blame where it belongs.

I’m not sure which I find more interesting: this practice, or that you know so much about it to be able to comment on a differentiation of trends over several years.

No judgment. It just sounds like there’s a story there.

Frankly, I think the worst part is that TSA agents are far more likely to steal things out of your luggage than any random person on the street. It’s a real problem.

Yes, they also, at a very high rate, miss dangerous items hidden in luggage. The thing is, however, in real life, it is extraordinarily rare that anyone would try to do that. 99% of the time, it’s a TSA agent freaking out over fingernail, clippers, or some silly thing like that.

I’m most concerned about the ridiculous cost of it all, and how much better that money could be spent.

E it’s all just security theater

When I attended a conference at the UN, there was but a tiny fraction of the amount of security required to enter then is required to go through an airport. Yet, I still felt more safe at the UN.
