    I get a super suntan every summer. So tend to wonder how their external shade detection algorithm/formula finds a lock on that sort of subject per session/season lol. Probably enter, comes some auto contrast to gamma correction realignment to match up to other external features already databased etc.

    Is there ever no end to them striving for achieving full success in their identification techniques to catalog every individual to an exact match for their picture perfect census of the human individual while passing along that data to other sources that together create an unmistakable profile of you to have their way with.

    Oh the joys of being a Microsoft right?

    lol

    We'll never have IQ identifying. Not that it's not possible, but it would imply uncomfortable conclusions :isay:
