Try to hit your CAPS Lock button as if it's a mistake and see what happens. Mine is reading my mind.

The difference between unintentional hit and an intentional one is very slight, but it knows :)

Yeah it’s a slight delay before it activates. Been on MacBooks since I got my first one in 2010.

It’s one of those things like faceid where it just works without you ever having to think about it.

Idk it activates pretty fast for me, I can't get it to not activate. 2023 M2 pro

I don't think I've ever had that experience with Face ID haha, but I get the sentiment. Never seems to work reliably for me.

Touch ID, other the other hand, is just chefs kiss.

Face ID fails in bed…

Wish I have Touch ID for those moments… or any moments of me not looking at the phone directly

2 factors at play:

How much of your face is being obscured by your pillow (if you’re lying on your side)
Angle of phone-to-face. If the angle is too steep, Face ID will fail to detect.

there's a setting so that you can have to "long press" caps lock before it activates. Sometimes, the computer comes with it on by default.

I wonder if that's what OP is talking about.
