Join the NSA and get paid for it

Need to print one of these

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 110 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 44 points 1 week 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.

[–] elvith@feddit.org 22 points 1 week 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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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

[–] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

Do it and you'd see my camera cover

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I prefer the classic post it note personally.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 week 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.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (20 children)

All you would see is my camera cover, lol

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

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

[–] BennyInc@feddit.org 55 points 1 week 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.

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.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week 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.

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

…right?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

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

They're both Thinkpads.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days 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.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days 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 😅

It’s a fucking joke and so many of you are being smug with “not me!”

[–] Patrik@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Laddie, the whole Internet is going so to shit, that it's hard to discern satire from real bullshit.

I just don't plug a camera in

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

$4.99 to plug in their camera

But i thought everyone helicopters during meetings. How else am i supposed to meet my step goal

[–] missandry351@lemmings.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] starbrite@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does the person on the other end get a notification or do they just remain oblivious to their boss spying on them?
