    It bothers me so much that they’re claiming the machines to be GDPR-Compliant. If you wanted to have the screen activate when someone walks up, a light sensor alone would do the trick, not fucking facial scanning technology!!

    “Yup. That’s a face.”

    It doesn’t have to have identity recognition or save any images to be useful. From what I heard it only activated the fancy stuff if it saw a human face. You can run that with little processing required. It saves energy.
