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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

All you would see is my floor and a pile of wires

My webcam falls off and I just leave it there

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

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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 days ago (2 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I own a small USB stick that acts as a camera. But in reality it’s just a HDMI input on the other end. Now beat that with software

Just wait until webcams start cryptographically signing image frames to ensure their authenticity.

Point webcam at a screen, or maybe a white wall with a projector pointing at it

Do it and you'd see my camera cover

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I prefer the classic post it note personally.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

I feel that a faulty webcam driver that causes a kernel panic would work best. They turn your camera on and you drop from the call.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (12 children)

It's weird that people used to be concerened with covering their laptop camera, but people don't care about their phone camera.

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

[–] [email protected] 55 points 6 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

This is like that libertarian/ancap copypasta.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Join the NSA and get paid for it

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

…right?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 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] 9 points 5 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days 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.

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

They're both Thinkpads.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I just don't plug a camera in

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

$4.99 to plug in their camera
