    Am I the only person that immediately covers their webcam with Scotch’s Magic Tape? It frosts the image so that it doesn’t look like it has been covered but rather that it is extremely smudged and thus only silhouettes can be somewhat discerned.

        And in context of this post…Mac laptops do not. So the scotch tape (or black tape) idea is sound.

        The issue with those is that you might get told to uncover your camera. With Magic Tape you can always say that it is uncovered. Light goes through, so you can pretend that maybe the camera is busted.

          We put pimple patches on everything, they just fit right on. The acid might be affecting something, but stuff still seems to be okay. Patch on the mic, patch on the camera.

          *Patches pop right off and are translucent. So yeah, same idea here. But also magic tape is the tits and idk why the hell people are downvoting Jo. Ya ding-dongs!

          Cut that reddit bullshit out.

      Maybe if it was something like this where it’s not my laptop but I’m not worried about people hacking my personal computer
