"Epic is more draconian than the US transport security administration" everyone remember that the next time someone sides with corporations, while claiming the government shouldn't exist
Sorry Beej, Piccolo is a slug-man, not plant based
hey beej did a pretty good job on this episode, you should consider having him on more often
Hah, love those revised credits just for Ian's visit. Great to see Ian back on CheckPoint, too! Full tie and everything—way more professional than that scrub G! Ian is such a delightful reality-warping force.
The ESRB's data security is like a sieve, so I'm sure trusting them with facial data is fine /s
Is the Gingerbread man driving a pop tart like me driving a car covered in human skin? I can't get this image out of my head now.
The fact that the Dreamworks dev is literally called "Game Mill" is just the ironic cherry on top of the suspiciously brown ice-cream emoji that is this game's concept.
ESRB story: Why would anyone want this?!?
-> Immediately into the pizza scented horror story
Know those medical feels on the other side of the country too – going on two years of searching for ANY General Practitioner within a hundred kilometres that's taking new patients.
Is it weird that I reflexively got uneasy when Beej held his phone up to the camera? Like… somehow his camera was scanning my face through the internet… from the past… through a display device with no camera attached… what a time to be alive!
Judging age just by a picture? Yeah thats not gunna go so well. So many people look vastly different to their age.. add in makeup, lighting, jewelry, its harder and harder. And why 25? Isnt the age of adulthood 18 nearly everywhere?
The option of a face scan instead of credit card or a id photo sounds vaugely useful but the privacy implications around children seems too high a price
So, about faceID on phones…. In terms or providing security to your phone, I've seen indication it's much worse than a 4 digit code or a pattern you trace with your finger.
when you bring your best friend to work and act all professional 😀
calling Donkey the Ascended Wife Guy took me the fuck out holy shit lol
6:08 Given the track record facial recognition algorithms have had in the past, there's no way this isn't going to be racist in some way.
Ian and the title/credits additions are delightful! More of this sort of thing.
Donkey rode his dragon wife.
Im skeptical the data doesnt go straight to China.
Cool to see Beej on Checkpoint for once. Maybe he'll appear more often no?
Also, Sonic Hedgehogs? Is that some sort of hedgehog that is covered in speakers instead of spikes, and screams really loudly to deter predators?
Unless you have a keyboard designed with removeable keycaps I am never cleaning a keyboard again, so gross. I had to do it in a "work for the dole" scheme.
We get the stupid face software in self checkouts. Not really self checkout now as they have to have someone there watching all the time now
After the show when Ian rubbed his moustache with both hands, for a moment I was afraid he was actually going to peel it off, revealing to have been a fake this whole time. That was a weird feeling.
Disney speedstorm may have some competition. Maybe Nick can get it on it? I'm hyped to play all the cartoon characters I love in Nick All Star Brawl.
Ian needs to work on his presentation skills. He;s flat reading from the prompter.
ESRB are literal gangsters, watch out calling them out.
Ian makes for a great spice to change things up now and then. Everyone on the show is so charming in their own way it's too bad we can't have like 6 hosts on at once lol
"the Privacy-Protective Facial Age Estimation, or NAMBLA" the Daily Show flashback I just had slapped me clean out of my seat.
Can't believe the bottom title for the TMNT story said "Heroes That You Can Smell" and not "Heroes in a half smell". Missed a sitter there guys.
