> You can't actually use this one to exploit anything

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it's just more of an interesting tidbit instead of a problem. I'm curious to see what it actually is though, we'll know in 90 days

For better or worse, if you look through the #asahi IRC logs, it's pretty clear where this is.

I don't see that tweet.

Thanks for linking it to me. It isn't in the thread linked by the post and I didn't see it in the author's feed since it is a reply.

>I swear if I see a tech news site put out something about this without talking to me first, I will delete my Twitter account. You've been warned.

I don't get this part.

The media is known to exaggerate things without bothering to understand the issue

I completely get why he put that there

That part I understand, what I don't get is him publicly announcing it under the threat of deleting his twitter account.

It's a raw deal for him, because he left that in the hands of people that just don't care.

he's blabbing about it on twitter and then threatening to freak out if anyone writes about him blabbing about it on twitter

tech news site !== anyone

Smart people can be morons too

The tech sites are already going crazy over "M1 malware", which in reality is just malware authors updating their Xcode version and recompiling.

This is, uh, interesting:

I'm not sure I'd be quite so critical, but it's a significant point in favor of TouchID over FaceID.
