My camera has a cover 😂😂😂 I hope you like your screens pitch black because it’s the only thing you will see

Don't try this in an elementary school virtual classroom, or you have a chance of going straight to jail

You like looking at the back of a piece of electrical tape?

The real goal is to then charge the user $2.99 to block their camera from being turned on.

Fortunately, browsers have safeguards against this sort of thing (activating the camera without user interaction)

…right?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Zuck always has a piece of tape over his camera when you see his laptop. That’s all you need to know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TBF, dude has probably the entire world trying to hack him, the avergae person doesn't have that high of a risk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Granted he is a higher profile target but he likely has lots of cyber security people going over everything on that machine with a fine tooth comb. And he still has a piece of tape over the camera.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I saw probably the same photo as you! The article wasn't even about that, we just noticed it in the photo. I immediately went and taped over my camera.

Both my work laptop and personal laptop have mechanical shutters that can only be opened by hand.

They're both Thinkpads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most Dell latitudes and precisions also have a physical shutter.

I love that feature. It makes me more comfortable around the computer because no one can look at me without my consent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I've had a few Dell Latitudes, none of them had a shutter 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Which series how long ago?

I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I'm only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.

I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter, but that's not too surprising considering that they look identical to each other.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Makes sense. I had a E6440, E7470, and 7490. The E6440 was a beast of a machine, and the E7470 fell off a 14 foot ladder and still survived, despite missing a corner... The NVMe drive was barely holding on 😅

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They hand those out at conventions too (or you can buy them, I guess). It's basically just a small sticker that you can just stick over your shutterless camera and now it has a shutter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

The Thinkpads have shutters built in. It's quite nice.

Just last week we found a bug in our system in that if an user accepts a meet on pc while also having the phone app open, the meet is opened in both devices, - that alone could end very badly.

I just don't plug a camera in

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$4.99 to plug in their camera

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Considering the implications for making that happen, that's hella cheap.

[–] [email protected] 109 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'd honeytrap this with a software camera that just plays filth and shock sites on a loop :)

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (9 children)

The goal with software like windows is to eventualy take away all control. If you can run unaproved software, you can't even join the teams call. Then you will see stuff like this.

Yknow one great thing that costs about 1.99 (one time cost)?

Those little plastic slidy bits that cover up the laptop webcam and mic.

Shit, I'd pay more than that each time.

tbh I'd be more likely to want to turn it off

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You’d get a pious, stating that someone paid 1.99 to turn your camera an. For just 5.99 you can make sure it stays off.

This could also be implemented as a bidding war like eBay.
