Forgot to pay that Amazon cloud bill, eh?

 

I'm sure everybody related to this project got paid except the lowly developer who gave up trying to flag his boss about this a year ago.

They got fingerprints and face scan  but  not "true biometric data"

what else are they thinking of  capturing retina and DNA ?   !!

Bend over while I put on my rubber glove.

What has this topic Immigration Biometric System Fails to Record Data for 17 Million Travelers to do with the 90day reporting website ??????? the 90 day reporting website is not a Biometric System


Both require a professional set-up in cyber world; the 90-days notification is significantly easier to set-up and run compared to the (confidential) management of biometric data. They cannot, to this day, get a flawlessly 90-days-website running so a collapse on a much more sophisticated programme is quite obviously a much more difficult task to master.

That was my point!

No !! The year 2000 software problem, known as Y2K, turned out to be a nonevent. That has led to a widely held view that it was a kind of manufactured crisis, a vastly overstated danger inflated by a self-interested cabal of alarmists, journalists and technology companies. And today, Y2K is enjoying a sort of cultural moment for its place in 1990s nostalgia,

It was meant be sarcasm. Sorry if I misled you.

Exactly what I was thinking.. Hes doing some retard doublespeak. Fingerprint is biological info, a picture is not. Other than that its blood, urine, retina or a hair sample like geez stfu with the idiot talk.

Those fingerprint scanners scan the valleys in the fingerprint. All you have to do is get rough and fine sandpaper to sandpaper off your fingerprints making your skin FLAT, and hence your print is gone. The system looks to be like the same one in Cambodia. Toy looking.

True biometric data" generally refers to high-quality, accurate biometric data collected using advanced technology, ensuring a reliable and secure identification process, while "biometric data" simply means any data related to a person's unique physical or behavioral characteristics like fingerprints, facial features, or voice patterns, which can vary in quality depending on the collection method and technology used; essentially, "true biometric data" implies a higher standard of accuracy and reliability within the broader category of biometric data.

So let's see: It initially worked, but stopped after collecting data on 50 million visitors.

 

If it was 50 million individuals or just  50 million visitors, many of whom are repeat visitors and doesn't this sound like a memory issue?

when to Thailand 2 weeks ago and even before me finished the fingerprint scan i already  had my passport back with the stamp

That kind of nonsense is unnecessary because if you use a Thai SIM card, at least your information is already in the system. Remember my words, do not turn on the location on your mobile phone. If you look closely, you will know that the police can track you down immediately if you become a suspect.

The military government is watching us.
