The clickbait 'title' makes some claim to vulnerability, except that's the wrong word entirely. The described "vulnerability" is logically equivalent to briefly removing one's face from the frame, because that's what this is. The article actually suggests that as the usual alternative!

There's nothing else going on here beyond "think about Windows Hello, please". Is this really what we want HN to be about?



It is the title of the blog post though, which is a Microsoft blog. I don't think clickbaiting was the intention of the poster.


Given it's from Old New Thing, I'm willing to bet clickbaiting was indeed the intention of the poster (Mr. Chen), as this title and the article itself seem to follow his sense of humor.


It's tech-related fun, and yes, it made me chuckle so I'm fine with it being on HN. I might even say it's a 'hack'.


>I might even say it's a 'hack'

I guess it is an appropriate submission for Hac-- er I mean "Left-Facebook-Logged-In"-er News
