7:50 windows hello actually does require an additional IR camera for facial recognition. On modern laptops the ir camera is usually very well hidden as it doesn't have to let through visible light, so it might look like just a regular webcam.

[@earao2306]

Thank you. 😭

[@MatejaMaric]

Sorry, but I have to add that it’s still not at the same level as Face ID, which, in addition to the IR camera and IR flash, has an IR “dot projector” which enables it to scan the 3D topography of your face and use the resulting 3D depth map to verify it’s you. A depth map simply provides much more data to the system and is thus more secure than a simple IR image from an IR camera. The main advantage of using IR for Windows Hello is actually that it works in the dark.

Hey Marques. Thanks for the video, but look at 7:53: Windows Hello does NOT just uses a webcam. Windows Hello uses a least an IR scanner like FaceID does or uses retina scanners (slow, needs space and not widespread - but there, for example Logitech Brio). Please correct it, because it's basically not true.

[@ajspice]

Yeah, it has to be a certain type of camera.

@@ashleys3dprintshop It really says something when ports that have been around for 3 decades are the selling point. Marques seems nice, but it's painfully obvious his popularity comes from slobbing Apple's knob. His is one of the few popular tech shows I won't subscribe to.

Do you really have HDMI devices? The world switched to USB-C already..

[@Snuggieman]

I don’t really think anyone is bothered by the notch at all, more so that it exists at all in the first place. The iPhone notch isn’t ideal but there’s a bunch of tech up there. These new macs have literally just the webcam and a daylight sensor and the notch is massive

[@Snuggieman]

@@tomxaak for displays we definitely have not switched. A large amount of high end displays use hdmi 2.1. And even if you happened to have all usb c monitors, I’m sure you’d still run into situations where you’d be out of your house and want to use a hdmi display

[@SubhraBhadra]

I see what you did there. A notch in the background.

[@dsr0116]

One flip side of relying on a dedicated port instead of USB is that it may not be up to date. The HDMI Apple chose, for example, isn't HDMI 2.1 (so you'll have to get a dongle if you want that). I've been using external card readers to have faster download speeds and support for other card formats: like compact flash/c-fast). The most significant advancement with Apple silicon seems to be energy efficiency. The M1 Max (on initial benchmarks) don't outpace the fastest AMD systems in raw performance: but they come close to matching the performance at half the wattage. I'd definitely like to upgrade for the video performance and image/video editing on a true HDR display. However, software also is important: for work I have software development apps that are strictly written for Intel and cannot be run in emulation on ARM.

[@marcellolopiccolo2725]

I never comment on any KZbin videos but I seriously appreciate and love your work!!

[@ross549]

Hot take: the notch is that size to get everyone used to it so we don’t go through another change when/if faceid is added.

So are they going to bring out a pro display xdr with a matching notch?

Exactly my thought, and this is exactly what they’re setting up for the future. It’s possible they we’re planning To integrate Face ID with this new MacBook release, but with current issues, not enough time or resources to make it happen.

[@BobRossRightHand]

Thought the exact same thing, since they seem to struggle with software this year (universal control delayed, shareplay delayed etc) I think they just wanted to introduce this design now and then in a year or two solve the software involving FaceID on macOS

[@Ometom]

I noticed I got most excited about the old features just being re-introduced.. Nevertheless, those new chips also sound really good.

A big question for me is when are they gonna release their pro version of iMacs? That would be perfect for me. I have a 2019 16in MacBook Pro but I would love a desktop for video editing.
