also faceid is the first iteration of the technology. the first implementation of touchid was slow and had a high failure rate, now its lightning fast and hella reliable. faceid will develop the same way, people using the iphone xii will wonder how they ever got along without it

faceid is already better than the first touchid implementation. touchid on my 5s was worthless. (i miss that form factor, though)

Endless Mike posted:it "handles" beards and scarves and such, i'm sure acne is fine dunno. scarfs are ok bc the IR goes through them. to some degree it probably does for hair, too, plus hair grows slowly so the face model adapts. otoh acne can cause significant deformation of the skin itself from one day to the next.

I really want sphere speakers now pretty much anything? if you want all integrated stuff I guess the naim mu-so, kef ls50w or dynaudio xeo, otherwise a sonos connect:amp or bluesond powernode and a pair of tower speakers weird speaker designs are fun but boring rectangles generally sound the best for the money. devialet sent a bunch of phantom golds out for reviews and while steve's awesome gadget blog gave them great reviews people who listen to speakers for a living we pretty meh about it e: quote:Works ok as a single bluetooth speaker, but put it together with a second, a dialog and a volume control and you've got the clunkiest most unrealiable, frustrating experience you can imagine -- and support is unbearable; after weeks of emails, downloading many logs, I have absolutely not one piece of useful advice from them. I'm so sick of listening to music with speakers jumping in and out that i'm ready to throw $7K of equipment out the window. qirex fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jan 18, 2018 |

i looked up the first bose speaker to make the above post in their defense (ensuring that i recalled correctly that they had been making speakers for 50 years), and was a bit surprised that while the 901 was their first *famous* speaker (and introduced exactly 50 years ago, it was preceded by the weird 2201: was designed to work well in the usually rather bad acoustic situation of being crammed into a corner of a room. what i learned from this is that bose really has the right dna to (continue to) prosper in the market of making weird speakers
