Just a quick technical / creature comforts note: MaryJo’s audio sometimes comes in slightly too hot. Could you just ever so slightly turn down her volume? (See, for example 2:08:05 in the club version of the podcast) It’s always interesting but sometimes just slightly distorted. Have been noticing this for a couple of shows now. Thanks!

Yeah it’s a challenge. The clipping is often (but not always) at her end so I can’t fix it. But your point is well taken - MJ has a considerable dynamic range so I need to ride her volume.

I agree with @MaryJo that sometimes Windows Hello IR / facial recognition is really not as reliable as it should be and it definitely seems to have gotten worse.
I don’t seem to remember it being this tough when I first got it: both my webcam (Logitech Brio) and my laptop (HP Spectre x360 13t / late 2019) are ~30% accurate these days. It’s not seamless, really.
I’ve done the re-training 10x (at least!) over, in all lighting conditions, over the past six months. Thought about removing and adding it back; couldn’t be bothered to keep teaching it. I’ve gone back to the fingerprint and PIN: far more reliable.
I happen to use an iPhone with Face ID: it, on the other hand, has been reliable since day 1. I realise they’re different underlying technologies (3D dot projector vs 2D optical), but can’t understand how Windows Hello got worse.
Or maybe I was more forgiving back in the day 
No major facial changes, either: same weight, same glasses, same facial features: just a haircut every once in a while…
EDIT: whoops, forgot a crucial vowel there. Not intended.
