Niggers, not even once
Noggers
yay another mechanism to break
should just get rid of webcam
And mic.
Thats real cool
not that that matters as its the microphone what is the worst thing on laptops
funnily enough for simple (physical switch) problem they invented "placebo" mechanism
to give users false sense of security
love the chink advertising and shilling for the non-features
Do you guys sticker your webcam
On ThinkPads you can cut the power to internal devices via BIOS
I don't know if there's any backdoor though
and many manufacturers (Asus for example) has that too
But at least from an operating system point of view, the camera is completely inaccessible / doesn't exist if cut off from BIOS
but its just "uefi" switch and can be controlled from OS too like other uefi functions
Source?
ability to flash bios from os
well not bios but uefi*
Afaik, if you use legacy mode, you don't have this functionality though
Right?
no idea on that one
but yeah... unles its physical switch then its not secure
but no company is gonna start the fad and take the bullet for introducing separate switch on side of monitor or next to usb ports
http://www.elecfreaks.com/store/images/SS%20Small%20models_A.jpg style slide switches exist even smaller than that
its just matter of getting shit done
Well early-mid 2000s HP laptops had such switches
I used to have a HP DV6 early 2000s and there was a switch for the cam, a switch for the mic and a switch for the wifi
Which was annoying because I kept accidentally turning things on and off with my arm while typing
and librem laptops have it too iirc
>>>>>librem
but they cost way too much for their metal
what a fucking joke
agree
Looked similar to that one
hahaha what is that wrist rest
