just got back from Defcon and they were talking about one of the thing they’re trying to develop called type “fisting” (no it’s not that kind of fisting)
if you recalling days of telegraph and Morse code skilled operators listening to someone keying could recognize who was sending it by the rhythm of how they keyed the Morse operators would have a unique Rhythm or Cadence to how they keyed out the code
what seems its the same thing with how you use your keyboard and mouse on a computer
everybody’s unique style of rhythm to their typing and they’re trying to train the computers to recognize that so they can recognize if it’s in fact you at the keyboard
Wonder if they also can track middle fingers?
Yeah I remember “fist” from the Morse code days. :-)
They could ID me pretty easy these days, just listen for the “whack!” when I hit the Enter key.
Eventually they will track Microgestures. They will eventually read facial expressions and body language.
If people think i'm paranoid, it's because I understand how a lot of this stuff works, and I know what is possible.
I also believe we live in such an ethically challenged time that any opportunity to exploit something for profit will be done.
Wonder how diploplia and lazy eye types will mesh?
So last week I bought a new 2 in 1 Dell computer with Win 10. Last night got a notice that update to version 1703 was available. It took forever to download and then started installing automatically late this afternoon. It got to 24% installed but now doesn’t seem to be progressing any further.
Any advice. I guess I could just leave it on overnight and see what happens. I’m afraid to turn the computer off until it finishes updating.
Right after I posted previous, I see that progress suddenly jumped to 90% so maybe it will be okay.
