So you're saying everyone should always be staring at their webcam to make sure the light is not on? It isn't like there's a subfield of Human Factors studying Cognitive load[1], saying that people don't do a good job at what you're saying people should do. Also, have you ever heard of a rootkit?

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI always notice when the light goes on, because it's close to my screen, and effectively a form of movement in a place I don't usually see it. It's also quite bright on Apple computers. Is it different for other people?
- sokoloff 6y agoI’m sure it’s different for many other people who use a second, larger monitor.
- bravoetch 6y ago>> Is it different for other people? Yes. Many people leave the laptop on, and wander off to pee. Or they're jerking off with their eyes closed. Or they are using a different computer at the same time in a data-center. Or all of the above at once.
- krustyburger 6y agoThat’s some impressive multitasking.
- eanzenberg 6y agoMany people do the same things and forget to cover their webcam with a piece of plastic. What’s your point?
- dahfizz 6y agoSome people forget to lock their door sometimes. Should we remove the ability to have a lock on your front door?
- tux1968 6y agoHow on earth can you say for certain you _always_ notice it? If it came on and you failed to notice it, well.. you wouldn't know would you. You'd still think you had a perfect record of always noticing it.
