@KingShawn I’ll add that the UWB-based key systems can even do clever things like distinguish between you walking toward your car and just walking past your car, and vary the unlocking behavior accordingly. It really is a better car key, not just a “let’s put everything in the phone” play.
@KingShawn vehicle security. Too many conventional key fobs are vulnerable to replay attacks where thieves can record the signals and play them back. The precise distance measurement of UWB means that you can use time of flight for a signal to create a key that is insanely hard to spoof. There are numerous other protections in the standard, but this is a really big one.
@KingShawn I do think there’s a compelling argument for this, but it’s about security rather than convenience. Phone as key mechanisms based on UWB are way more secure than conventional wireless key fobs that most cars are using today.

You can AutoFill passwords and one-time codes, save new passwords, and right-click QR codes to set up code generators.
If you’re running the macOS Sonoma public or developer beta, you can try it right now!

David OgrenSeeing @lisamelton posts today reminds me of something. There is a flood of people who want to tell you that trans people only exist because of some kind of “woke” indoctrination. But, if so, why are are we seeing so many people, late in life, coming out as trans? With so much sacrifice. Could it not be that we are finally coming close to a world that will (at minimum) tolerate them?
I am cis. (F you Elon). I am straight. I am privileged. If I can be happy for Lisa, so can you. I owe Lisa for her contributions to tech. So do you.
I now have role models, friends, family, and coworkers who are not cis. WTF does anyone think this hurts me in any way?
