I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don’t trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!
All this trouble and they didn’t even make the scanner shaped like a hand so you can high five it. Waste of potential.
Shit no! You know what you can’t change if/when they inevitably leak your data? Your fucking hand.
I didn’t know paying in body parts was legal.
Its hard to believe anyone would use the thing. It’ll be more problematic if/when its used for regulatory purposes. Sort of at the desensitization still. Today.
I had to take a State exam for licensure a few years back. I was told that I had to take a palm/vein scan to prove my identity. I informed her Ive never had one so it could not prove my identity-- but hey, Im the crazy one. Its on a server somewhere now tho… Modernity is pretty stupid, tbh.
I like to do this at Whole Foods in front of my anti vax friends and tell them about how cool it is to have a chip that lets me pay by waving my hand.
bro, come back to me when most stores accept touch emv payments. lol, like each fucking store is gonna know what to do with a fucking palm scan when emv is fucking forbidden magic.
Haha! Good point. It’s been “mandated” a couple years ago, right? It’s barely anywhere
Interesting regional differences. It’s incredibly rare that I find a store that doesn’t support tap-to-pay
I live in DC and most groceries don’t support it.
Whole Foods wants to use some qr code thing, probably precursor to the palm.
