so far… if you are not ready to actually defend your rights, they can be taken away on a whim.

How? I have tape over my camera.

Also I installed the OS myself.

BriarTalker@lemmy.ml on 25 Sep 2024 14:50 collapse

I distrust the microphone more than I do the camera. They can gather a LOT more information using the microphone. When I got my computer, I opened it up and physically disconnected both the camera and microphone. Now, when I need to be on a video conference, I use a webcam to plug in to my USB. Otherwise, all that is off by physical impossibility.

delirious_owl@discuss.online on 25 Sep 2024 15:04 collapse

Disconnecting the microphone is valid, but why don’t you trust a piece of tape over the camera?

BriarTalker@lemmy.ml on 26 Sep 2024 21:58 collapse

Tape will work. But if you are opening up a laptop anyway, you might as well just do a physical disconnect and plan on relying on a webcam when needed.

The less external things I have to lug around with my laptop, the better

Continuous authentication tech could help companies in multiple ways, such as ensuring that if a laptop was stolen while unlocked, it would still be impossible for anyone to access sensitive systems if their biometrics didn’t align.

We’ve had solutions to the “laptop stolen when unlocked” problems for years. BusKill uses a cable that you clip to your belt for this. It’s simple. You don’t need to film your employees all day long to solve this problem.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys – thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.
