A “database of fingerprints” would only contain checksums

that’s the case for fingerprint readers in phones/laptops

But does that also apply to prints collected for government ID cards?

you would need to have created a snapshot beforehand.

i’ve used windows and linux on separate drives in the same desktop for ages and it’s been working fine.

I’m using windows mostly for games that aren’t available natively and don’t work via wine/proton

almost no movie has realistic hacking, but i always thought “Hackers” was pretty spot on (for example with the phone phreaking, social engineering). When i think about movies with unrealistic hacking scenes the following come to mind:

• “The Core” has a scene where “rat” whistles into a mobile phone to get free long distance calls (wrong time period)
• in “Skyfall” they look through a hex dump and find non-hex characters

it’s also almost exactly this mathematical symbol: 𝕏
