Aha! So you won't get beat up after all...

The level of arrogance among these tech people is getting almost
scary.

I am not a real professional photographer, but I play one for Google Clips.

Aah! It can ID a raised middle finger.

It will get worse as the mellennials entrench themselves into social media
even more.

When I was in practice, IT guys were needed, getting them to stop was
often a problem.

People might end up using it as one of those cheap car driving cameras.


You have the right to take photographs in public but not to put up
surveillance cams, I'd say that Google glass and clips are in that
category since you can't see when they are in operation. Big brother
sees you, and how do you know if these devices are off, really?

The first thing I did with my new laptop was to put silver ducting
tape over the camera and microphone. THEN I turned it on.

That seems to be a tad paranoid. Doing that will preclude using
communications apps such as Skype, or FaceTime (not Facebook). You are better
off actually understanding your computer than gunging up your laptop with
duct tape.

Do you even know where the microphones are located in your laptop?

If you want to disable your mics, consider doing that via your system
preferences, and there are less damaging ways to obscure the camera, and
still have it available when needed.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get
you.

The only way I use the laptop or my desktop for that matter, for
communication is via email. If I want to talk to someone I can't be
face to face with, I use the phone. Why show them Squalid Manor?

I am remebering how a High School was remotely turning on the
laptops that they had issued to their students. They were spying on
the stdents via the built in cameras.

The tape I was referring to is the Aluminum backed tape that is
used on furnace duct work, Not the ubiquitous DUCK Tape, that is
cloth backed.

The laptop's literature placed the microphone next to the camera.
I also went into the system settings and turned off the camera and
microphone

An old saw. ;-)

face to face with, I use the phone. Why show them Squalid Manor?


I use both Skype and FaceTime to speak to friends, and family around the USA,
and all around the World. That way I don’t have the exorbitant costs of
international calls. If you are concerned about what the camera might reveal
of your squalor, you have the option of just using either app for voice only
calls.

I am remebering how a High School was remotely turning on the
laptops that they had issued to their students. They were spying on
the stdents via the built in cameras.


Having graduated from high school in 1966, I never had the pleasure of having
to concern myself with a high school issued laptop. Back then I lived in a
World of log tables, and sliderules, not even a handheld calculator.

The tape I was referring to is the Aluminum backed tape that is
used on furnace duct work, Not the ubiquitous DUCK Tape, that is
cloth backed.


Hmmm..., to me that would be even worse that fabric backed duct tape. For me
the best temporary camera lens cover is just a small sticky note.

The laptop's literature placed the microphone next to the camera.
I also went into the system settings and turned off the camera and
microphone


There you are, all anxiety eased with a simple setting or two.
