> If your work environment requires you to cover the camera on your Mac notebook, follow these guidelines to avoid damaging the display:
> Make sure the camera cover is not thicker than an average piece of printer paper (0.1mm).
> Avoid using a camera cover that leaves adhesive residue.
> If you install a camera cover that is thicker than 0.1mm, remove the camera cover before closing your computer.
To me this sounds reasonable.
- NavinF 4y agoYeah that just seems like common sense. Dunno why people use those hard plastic covers that prevent the lid from closing properly and put all the pressure on one part of the LCD.
- joezydeco 4y agoBecause people don't trust the activity LED. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/12/perv-utopia-light-on-macbook-webcams-can-be-bypassed https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/12/perv-... Has Apple fixed the issue? Most likely. But do you trust Apple completely? Would a $0.50 piece of plastic solve that trust issue?
- diffeomorphism 4y agoThe unreasonable part is that this does not seem to be necessary on literally any other laptop. People just kept doing what they have been doing for years with their old laptops, but now their very expensive new laptop broke -> unreasonable.
- solarkraft 4y agoOld plastic laptops were bendy, creaky and had very high tolerances, but people didn't quite like the downsides of that. So Apple makes a metal machine with very low tolerances that feels super solid.
- diffeomorphism 4y ago> feels super solid. But breaks, so yeah "feels" is the keyword here.
