love my frameworks mic and camera hardware switches.
Is this legit? Brave’s AI summary claims that Teams indeed gives this option to the host. However, it points to a Teams documentation page that does not mention such feature.
AI
Why would you trust any AI like that
Holy shit.
He’s at -22 right now, and you at +41.
He obviously isn’t trusting the AI, he’s asking here to verify it since he couldn’t find any first-hand information to contradict it.
Lemmy is already getting to be more fucking toxic than reddit. JFC.
Because AI hallucinates and isn’t a trustworthy source to find out info about anything
They don’t hallucinate, they just believe everything they read on the internet. They are basically Republicans.
Then why would you bother using it and wasting energy and water?!
I don’t blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.
so you asked the word confetti bot
Have you done a brave search recently? It automatically tries to answer.
It’s actually been surprisingly good for me. Better than Google, at least. But it’s not a choice on his part, it’s default behavior.
tbh I’d be more likely to want to turn it off
You’d get a pious, stating that someone paid 1.99 to turn your camera an. For just 5.99 you can make sure it stays off.
This could also be implemented as a bidding war like eBay.
Do it and you’d see my camera cover
I prefer the classic post it note personally.
I’d honeytrap this with a software camera that just plays filth and shock sites on a loop :)
The goal with software like windows is to eventualy take away all control. If you can run unaproved software, you can’t even join the teams call. Then you will see stuff like this.
I own a small USB stick that acts as a camera. But in reality it’s just a HDMI input on the other end. Now beat that with software
Just wait until webcams start cryptographically signing image frames to ensure their authenticity.
All you would see is my camera cover, lol
I think Dell once patented a mechanical cover system for their laptops.
All the laptops I have owned over the last 10 years have a mechanical shutter to cover the camera. None have been Dell.
You willingly own a laptop that can open its own shutter?
I believe they, and pretty much everyone else here, thought you were talking about the mechanical shutter that you have to manually slide over the lens.
That’s not what mechanical means, but I can understand the confusion.
Those are manual shutters. If it’s mechanical, unless you are using a very archaic definition or speaking in a different context it is capable of self movement in some form.
Not that I’d be particularly surprised to find out product marketing on the question is all over the place.
I’m a mechanical engineer, but what do I know. Just studied that shit for 5 years and worked as one for the past 13.
But then again, I’m from Germany so maybe there is a language barrier between us somehow.
We now know what you mean and you probably also know what the other person meant. All is well.
The real goal is to then charge the user $2.99 to block their camera from being turned on.
Make it an auction
