No webcam.

But some spam mails think i have one.

valkyre09 ,

I think I saw videos of you last week on one of those revenge porn sites. You were going to town on yourself. I’m guessing you didn’t send the bitcoin?

I keep my webcam unplugged when not in use.

Doctors hate him for this one simple trick!

I simply don't own a webcam. Last time I actually had a use for one was sometime around 2003. That said, I'm still fucked because I made the mistake of buying a phone that uses the camera as the light sensor.

I keep a webcam because I trust my personal computer far more than my phone when it comes to private comma.

I love my frame.work 16 and its hardware switch for camera and mic

lud ,

I like my ThinkPad for that too. It's great.

System76 has some machines with hardware camera killswitches too. Big fan of Framework's open-source hardware and firmware microcontroller firmware though.

TheyCallMeHacked ,

Their firmware isn't opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on...

The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it's very new and I don't know exactly what is and isn't supported...

Thank you for clarifying, I edited my comment. I was referring to coreboot but did not know that it was not yet widely supported in Framework laptops.

TurdMongler ,

What about Intel ME, Microsoft Pluton, the one for AMD. The secret chips that have direct access to your hardware. Basically a blackbox. Same with cellphones. SoC.

renzev ,

the one for AMD

It's called PSP (Platform Security Processor), iirc

And to answer your question:

  • Old-ass thinkpad as daily driver: Acquired
  • RPI Pico: Acquired
  • SOIC Chip programming clip: Acquired
  • Motivation to get off my ass and actually flash libreboot and me-cleaner: In progress...

CIA Operative: that's the neat part, I know how to make them work

renzev ,

So that means I get a working webcam! It's a win-win! /j

Shardikprime ,

We get a working webcam. For about the 30 seconds it takes you to fap

Shardikprime ,

Don't ask me how I know it's 30 seconds

Shardikprime ,

Also stop looking at the camera while fapping it's disturbing

Man I remember having to buy a Cisco pcmcia WiFi card for my laptop to be able to support my collages CHAP auth to be able to get WiFi on campus

ADTJ ,

I used to have to use a USB adapter on my laptop because the built in one was turned off by default and had a Windows only software switch to enable it.

ordellrb ,

I have it disabled in bios and electric tape over it

With non-working drivers, you effectively don’t! Win-win
