I used usb webcams on desktops for 10 years and never had an outage (mostly windows but Linux as well). I’ve used half a dozen MacBooks over 15 years and never had an outage.
I’m sure it does happen, but I don’t think I’m uniquely lucky. I bet the ratio of people who lie vs unfortunate as 100:1.
And consistent failure is just poor planning as I would get a replacement after the first few failures. If I wanted to turn on my cam, of course.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoI agree that people were probably lying in aggregate. What I'm saying is that it's the type of lie that you can't know is a lie based on one person not having their webcam work. It's like saying people who take 10 sick days a year are lying, because I've never taken more than 3 sick days. Of course, some people take sick days when they're not sick. But if, say, your employees in their 30s take twice as many sick days as employees in their 60s, it might be because people in their 30s are more inclined to "lie" about it (or use sick days for things besides being sick)
