The real goal is to then charge the user $2.99 to block their camera from being turned on.
Make it an auction
All you would see is my camera cover, lol
I think Dell once patented a mechanical cover system for their laptops.
All the laptops I have owned over the last 10 years have a mechanical shutter to cover the camera. None have been Dell.
You willingly own a laptop that can open its own shutter?
I believe they, and pretty much everyone else here, thought you were talking about the mechanical shutter that you have to manually slide over the lens.
That’s not what mechanical means, but I can understand the confusion.
Those are manual shutters. If it’s mechanical, unless you are using a very archaic definition or speaking in a different context it is capable of self movement in some form.
Not that I’d be particularly surprised to find out product marketing on the question is all over the place.
My camera has a cover 😂😂😂 I hope you like your screens pitch black because it’s the only thing you will see
Join the NSA and get paid for it
I’d honeytrap this with a software camera that just plays filth and shock sites on a loop :)
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.
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
Joke’s on you - I do this already. Porn and all
