I cover mine.

I don't want some random to have the ability to access it and look at me shit posting.

The head of the FBI says you should. That's all the reason I need.

I'm 100% convinced that they can look at any camera connected to the internet. Our phones also aren't secure.

Thin about how all smartphones can react to you saying "hey siri" or "ok google" at any time. The microphone is literally on at all times and analyzing what it is picking up to look for speech patterns.

If it can detect those code phrases at any time what other shit is it also programmed to listen for and flag?

damn right i cover it. everyone's out to get you,man!

I removed the camera and mic from the screen housing

smart person

Yep. I use a hole punch on the sticky part of a Post-It note and stick that dot over the lens.

nice.

Why did you feel the need to tell us that?

Since I saw this black mirror episode,I do...

i just disable the cam

So the illuminati cant use it to spy on me.

I also do this, but i feel less smart about it now

I don't cover it and do a helicopter spin with my dick every 15 minutes just in case someone is watching I want them to see this artistic act

(OP)
i always have my camera usb unplugged

Kek. Could've just bought a monitor without a Mic and Camera

Honestly, same here

...

doesn't matter, the hardware it still physically connected and can be turned on again remotely.

when i fap, i wiil close camera by my hand

DO you also cover your phone's camera then?

I know some that do that

Only when I fap.
Same with phone.
At a certain point it just became a meaningless habit.

ITT: Real life autists who believe covering your camera makes you any safer

>but hurrr durrr its connected to the FBI

Kill yourselves

Well considering most people just jerk off and sit around their house. I don't see the problem. Besides, everything these people wanna know they already have. It's impossible to escape unless you live off the grid.

taking out your camera and mic makes you safer. Covering it gives you atleast to feeling of being saver. nothing autistic with that

Physical removal of camera and mic is the only safe option.

Or use a monitor with out that built in?

Even better, I have no cameras or microphones in the first place.

laptop...

yes as for why i got free internet

you are on Sup Forums are you retarded?

obviously I cover mine. There are places (like limited access forums) who watch hijacked webcams all day.

Even Mark Zuckerberg, the pure symbol of anonymity, covers his laptop

whats the bottom one for?

What is that lower red circle indicating to?

mic

>Mark Zuckerberg, the pure symbol of anonymity

durr, the billionaire facebook founder is a 'symbol of anonymity'? Is this your first fucking day on the internet? Are you actually comparing your computer security needs to mark fucking zuckerburg?

Your parents dropped you.

Would covering it really 'disable' it 100%?

It is still going to vibrate

Anyway, the only sound it would be able to hear is typing

then again, he is a person of interest. I bet my ass there are a thousands of people that want to hijack his shit unlike yours.

completely unrelated to topic but...
those shoes look fucking retarded
i hate women who think that is some kind of sexy look

Nah, if someone wants to watch me do nothing, fap, pick my nose, sleep, or whatevs that's fine with me.

looks like it would cut of circulation

im not that guy, but im pretty sure they told us that because it is literally what the entire thread is asking about. they even responded directly to OPs post...
how fucking dumb are you?

Yup. The way they are too tight and bubble up the skin is horrible

What to do about phones though. Should be more worried about that than pc

Elizabeth Zak,
fucken babe

Yeah because I'm paranoid as fuck sometimes

not sure if trolling or your end time autism disables your ability to detect irony. But even if it wasn't for your lack of common sense, it wouldn't even be so wrong
>"Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly paid more than $100 million for a swathe of land in Hawaii where he will create a private getaway befitting one of the world's richest men. "

tl;dr be an idiot somewhere else

I dont, I have an iPhone.

Underrated Post

this made my fucking shitty night a little less shitty.

thank you for agreeing with me. i was waiting for the inevitable calling me a faggot for posting about her shoes.
she looks like a ham you bring home from the supermarket. and i bet she thinks she looks really sexy too

But the sad thing is she won't ever realise how disgusting they are, since no one will ever tell her

Server.exe is waiting

well your still a faggot. so maybe that'll even things back out

fucking autistic people its not about "safety"

privacy = personal safety
faggot

amen brother.
this is why i love Sup Forums sometimes
sure i get called a faggot or a nigger or a niggerfaggot sometimes.
but other times people agree with me when i randomly bring up how stupid someones shoes look.

Yes. I don't trust the CIA/NSA.

my computer has no camera, or mic unless i plug in my headset. my phone has no gps (made in 2001), and my mail is sent to a PO box. i dont exist.

Agreed. Tis a magical place

...

look at this fucking troglodyte

Someone wasn't paying attention to the Snowden leaks or Vault 7.

People think the got a virus and they fix it by puting some gay ass tape over it

You wish that worked.

No non-hardware solution is a solution.

>privacy = personal safety
LOL what ever you say

you truly belong here

No one is a person of interest until they are, then you bet you wish'd you'd taken precautions previously.

Do you really lack this much foresight? If you're this stupid well...you probably won't become a person of interest, but that just means you don't matter and never will.

and you truly belong down there

computers don't have cameras

Nope.
Cause if someone with l337 haxzor skillz wants to watch me jerk off to midget and furry porn all day while drinking mountain dew in my underwear, I'M not the one with a problem.

what

HE SAID COMPUTERS DON'T HAVE CAMMERS FAGGET

i think he means desktop compuiters dont have built in webcams unlike your FBI approved laptop and tablet that does. continue being a cuck to the government anons

a laptop is a computer. a smartphone is a computer. dummy

I want to cover my phone's camera and mic, but that would be weird

>youtube.com/watch?v=NpN9NzO4Mo8

No, I have an older webcam on which the indicator light can't be enabled. I'd know if someone was watching me.

Are you a shill or what. Someone could file a fake tax return, credit cards in your name.

If your camera was hijacked and someone took pics of you or a gf coming out of the shower or her blowing you would you want that on the internet?


You probably won't die in a car accident or even have a major accident does that mean you won't wear a seat belt?


How about the safety on a gun. You don't need one hurr durr... you'd say..
But it's nice to have. You mentality is that of a teen who is immature and who wants everyone to agree with him.

I do on my laptop because one time while surfing the Deep Web I went to a website that showed me different people's cameras.

It was funny until I saw my face on the," Currently," tab. Then I realized it was really disturbing.
