Greetings,dear people.😊❤️

On the PC:
Either not activated or plugged in or not even there.Thank God the Corona period is over, so I don't need a camera anymore.Windows has no "Rights" for the Access.

Smartphone:
Well, it's technically installed on the Device, I can't do much about it... and deny all apps access.
Except for the camera app of course....🤣

You sure that's enough? Trusting the Android access control? :evil:
Device up to date? No known exploits for yours?

I've a device that could be perma-infected without noticing (with closed bootloader) and any banking app will be happy to continue working. Access control goodbye...

But the toy computer (phone) isn't able to get any images of me anyway where it is put down normally.
My ugliness would burn out the CCD anyway.

No, I'm not paranoid or an interesting person to watch. My laptop also stays in the carrying bag unless I travel. So I'm hardly ever on it anyways.

MSI gaming laptop have special feature call kill switch on and off from keyboard. No special cover needed for camera / webcam built in laptop.

About desktop computer, I use USB camera / webcam for to chat with family and friends. When done chat then I always unplug USB plug away from desktop computer all of times. Reason why plug in all of times are not good because electric can still cooking to slow kill our camera / webcam over and over time. Just unplug when chat is finish after that. B-)

Yes because I’ve had my webcam hacked before and know how easy cameras are to hack. But my laptop has a built in privacy slider for the camera anyway so I just never opened it

Yes, I cover my camera when it's not in use. It's a simple precaution to enhance privacy and security. I believe it's important to take proactive steps to protect personal information in today's digital age. Using a physical cover helps prevent unauthorized access and gives peace of mind, knowing that I'm taking measures to safeguard my privacy. For students needing help with their academic writing, this platform offers custom essays, research papers, and more. By visiting academized.com/write-my-research-paper users can benefit from a range of services designed to help them succeed academically, all with a guarantee of originality and privacy.

Same here, I won't cover it. I just never allow any website to access my camera.

Webcam I use for my PC does have a physical cover, which is nice, but I don't keep it plugged in unless needed. I have too many cables already and I rarely use my camera nowadays.

For my phone, I only have a back camera cover as it's the part of the case I have, but not the front one. Sucks that the camera lens are part of the screen (I have a Samsung A52) so I'm not sure if there's a viable solution for that. maybe some sorta of a flap would be nice to have? Will have to check if AliExpress has some decent ones. Placing a sticker over it wouldn't be good, I guess.

My camera came with a lens cap, so I just keep it on their for the sake of keeping it clean. Not particularly worried about getting compromised, and I welcome anyone to share my nudes if they happen to get them. I'm never naked in front of my camera, so that'd be a pretty neat trick.
