iPhone Face ID with mask option now available for some with latest Apple update

FILE - The Apple logo hangs at Apple's Carnegie Library store in Washington. The latest software update from Apple now allows some users to open their phone with Face ID while wearing a mask, according to multiple reports. iPhone users have complained that when they wear a mask or covering for their face to protect themselves against COVID-19 — particularly when running errands or going outside — they are unable to unlock their phones using Face ID. Now, Apple’s IOS Beta 15.4 update basically uses the function to identify the top portion of a user’s face to unlock their phone, according to TechCrunch. The latest feature may also only be available on iPhone 12s or newer, according to The Verge. Because the feature only uses half of a user’s face, it could potentially be less secure, which is why Apple is allowing people to opt-in or out to use it. Apple had been testing out Face ID options with a mask since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Boards take non standard approach to Ontario’s standardized high school math test

Ontario’s provincewide high school math test this year.Some school boards are asking the province’s permission to cancel the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s Grade 9 Math Assessment, while others are acting without seeking the government’s blessing. Some Ontario teachers refuse work over school COVID concerns Still, many are going ahead with the standardized EQAO test, as required by the Ministry of Education, despite a bevy of pandemic-induced interruptions including a two-week period of remote learning after the winter break and widespread absences brought on by the highly-contagious Omicron variant of COVID-19.But some say cutting the test — which is not a graduation requirement, but is used to assess student performance at the school, board and provincial level — is an easy way to ease students’ load during a third academic year altered by COVID-19.“It’s just adding burden to an already incredibly burdened system, from a mental health perspective, to students and staff and all their families,” said Kathleen Woodcock, a trustee with the Waterloo Region District School Board who’s introduced a motion to request another year of reprieve from the test, which was temporarily shelved last year due to the pandemic.The committee of the whole will vote on the motion next week.

Volunteer program helps socially isolated veterans amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic

who are isolated and potentially feeling lonely to have some social interaction, even if it’s just through a telephone call. The CCC expanded rapidly due to the ongoing pandemic and there became an increased need for social interactions for veterans, according to a VA blog post. "We were concerned about the isolation right away. We realized that a lot of our veterans, a lot of people, don't like to even admit that they are lonely, and so, until they do that, it's kind of hard for us to help the way we want to, but, we know that there's research that shows that chronic loneliness can be as bad for your health as smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day," Prince Taylor, deputy director for the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement, told FOX 13 Tampa. So far, there are about 750 volunteers participating in the program across the country and they’ve been matched with over 1,500 veterans, Taylor continued.

Sarah Palin Dines In NYC After Positive COVID Test ‘Didn’t Present Vax Card’ On Prior Outing

Sarah Palin was spotted dining at a New York restaurant on Wednesday (January 26) after it was revealed she had tested positive for COVID-19 just two days earlier. The 57-year-old former Alaska governor, who is not vaccinated against the coronavirus, ate outdoors with a group of friends at the Italian hot spot Elio’s, making it her second visit to the establishment since Saturday, when she dined indoors without presenting a vaccination card.
