PaymentEye and EWeek report on the partnership of Lenovo, Intel, Synaptics and PayPal. Lenovo Yoga 910 laptop computers are fitted with Intel processors and Synaptics fingerprint readers. PayPal will allow sign-ins using the FIDO (fast identity online) protocols. With the so-called "biometric" system, people can be identified without the use of passwords and without sending their fingerprint data over the Internet.

You'd think that big-name companies like that would have at least one guy somewhere who says "You're all being stupid. Please stop." and then explain the situation to them.
We fired that guy. He moved back into his mother's basement where he shitposts on forums all day.
