I get that (1) there are UX design features that it was missed, and (2) there are people who want to be able to spy on people through the webcam without any indication that they are being spied upon and (3) try to sell it as a feature, (4) spying could be for the purpose of remote monitoring employees during these times of pandemic-forced remote working (5) or something more nafarious with state-level actors.
Was there something I missed?
- zinekeller 6y agoYes, that my statement tells about some "boss" (CEO or VP of some company) who doesn't want to be instructed by IT to slide the "stupid" (in their own opinion) cover and wants it to be automated, in the same way that they complain about the "stupid" (again in their own opinion) LED indicator light and wants it to turn off. It's not totally about spying (surpringly some don't have that concern at all) and more about that some people don't see the point about the cover the same way that they don't also see the point about the LED indicator and wants to have a "fix" (even though the fix is disingenuous to those who understands the reasoning behind it). Of course, Dell will lose their business with that company with that boss because the boss wants to have that fancy shutter and will switch if this condition was not met. I don't want to explain my sarcasm but I understand that some people may not get it and I apologise again for the inherent non-clarity of my first statement.
- hosh 6y agoI thought I had that covered in my point (1).
