anti-clickbait tldr: identities, apps, systems should have only the access and privileges they need. A least-privilege security posture is obvious, but many make bad choices.

anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.

Key passage:

Clear’s methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.

The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.

The process — which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customers’ identities after its facial recognition system raised flags — created the potential for human error.

Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.

Can’t say for sure it’ll meet your needs and work with your Logi gear, but I use AntiMicroX to re-bind unrecognized controls.

Thanks for checking the comments… we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty.

For the more "federated" actions on lemmy, I've found it's better to cancel and retry after giving it just a short fair chance to go through. Many hours of "pending" seems to be a lie, as I've yet to see it retry and succeed automatically.
