  1. I believe they have more incentive and more to lose. Apple especially tries to market trust and data security to lose that public image would be a bigger blow to them then it would be to McDonald's or a Franchisee of them.
  2. I understand that, but I would argue that Google and Apple have more incentive and more ability to keep such data secure. They have 2 thumbprints on file, out of 10 fingers, to me face scans seem like a bridge too far, for as so many would like to argue, a unskilled job for teens. I also cannot go back in time to protect this data if as I tried to convey it becomes far more important in the future. Am still learning and enjoy seeing the different views on this however.
  3. The ones we use are just finger print and can and do have issues, they used to have a gel coating that would get dirty and be impossible to use or clean, and they can and often do struggle with darker skin tones. With that being said not sure that the facial scan wouldn't have the same issues or simply couldn't be solved with limiting clocking in to an ID badge.
  4. I understand that, however, we can view it very easily on our BoS Computer whether a punch was done biometrically via thumbprint or punched in manually.
  5. https://altametrics.com/companies/mcdonalds/new-time-clock/ Found a link to the new clock for those interested.
  6. McDonald's is moving to use facial scans to clock in/out. It has yet to be implemented however we are being told to sign a form permitting the franchise to hold onto biometric face data until a reasonable time has passed when you are no longer with "Franchise company name". They don't define what a reasonable amout of time is, they are making people sign when they come to pick up thier paychecks with very little detail as the management have little detail. We already use fingerprint biometrics to clock in and out there, to me doesnt seem to be a need to move to facial. Unfortunately the franchise I am accosiated with does not take digital security very seriously and if they are the ones responsible for holding that data it makes it difficult to feel comfortable with them having that data, in addition to my belief that that data will be far more important in the future, more than just unlokcing your phone, possibly vehicles and homes in the future if not more. I am also concerned about the law enforcment aspect of this as well, cops potentially being able to get my facial biometrics from a current or former employer to use in conjection with facial cameras that are slowly proliferating. I personally do not feel comfortable giving McDonald's or it's Franchisee's the same data that I would Apple, or Google or whatever device maker who I belive has more incentive to keep that data safe and maybe more aware of ways that it could be compromised. Currently this is taking place in California, I would like to know is this a more common practice than I am aware of and should I just "get over it" as it were. If it is not commonplace then I think it may make an interesting WAN show topic, and possibly hear a more nuanced take on this. Attached is a screen grab of an Email at the top will mention the new time clock change from a technology partner of McDonald's they send to IT staff of differing levels to show some evidence of this coming. I did not see any topics about it in a search I apologize if it was covered and I missed it. Edit: added the collection agreement signoff blocked company name
  7. Think It'd be a great addition to a bachalor pad or dorm. Like mine also reminds me of the $55k sony projector, (a baby one )
  8. I things have gotten more complicated, I have my CPU in another mobo and the on board is fine. However my monitor is a bit old the the interface is only dvi and vga. The Vga is working fine but the dvi isnt. And my mobo and gpu don't have vga support so everything ran thru dvi. So it's either my gpu my mobo, or my monitor dvi port, or any combination of the 3. I have an adapter coming on Saturday so hopefully I can find out if it's just my monitor port before I go to work.
  9. My friend will loan me hers in the next day or so, I'll try it and update this post if it worked or not. In the meantime thanks for trying to help out
  10. I have tried using both the vga and Dvi connections that my monitor has and hdmi to attempt the TV.
  11. Just to be clear, physically reseat CPU and GPU correct?
  12. Also tried hooking up PC to my TV (closest thing to a spare monitor I have) same issue
  13. I hooked up the monitor to a laptop and monitor worked fine.
