Quote from: Pittisoft on November 01, 2023, 15:12:19Bei Geräten zu 100$ könnte man ja noch denken das so ein Schieber für die WebCam nicht mehr im Budget ist, aber im Prinzip haben Sie natürlich recht.No mechanical slider is needed. We need a microcircuit that, using a mechanical button on the side of gadget, reliably turns off cameras, GPS microphones and all other trackers. And it was not possible to bypass this programmatically. But do corporations aim to have complete owner control over their property? Of course not. Their goal is to secretly collect the owner's private information and use or sell it to third parties.

This simply must be the case according to the laws of most developed countries.
The fact that manufacturers deliberately create solutions that contribute to leaks of private information from the owners of their gadgets clearly indicates a harmful general trend on the planet.

Quote from: Pittisoft on October 28, 2023, 12:49:34Und warum sich das noch nicht rumgesprochen hat das eingebaute Webcams mit einen kleinen Schieber versehen werden können damit man die Privatsphäre wahren kann ist mir auch ein Rätzel.The shutter is not enough, you also need a hardware shutdown of the microphone array (and there must be an independent, multiple audit from independent experts of similar proprietary solutions, proving that it is impossible to electronically, remotely, secretly turn on microphones and cameras (like GPS and other modules on smartphones), and without indicators of their operation - and this is not done), but manufacturers deliberately do not do this, and laptops are gradually turning into devices that track the owners, like 99.9% of smartphones. This has been an evil trend from corporations for many years. Not only do you pay money, but on your data, stolen quietly from you, through tracking mechanisms on gadgets, unscrupulous and criminal companies (and most often in collusion with corrupt or increasingly totalitarian authorities) earn additional money by unceremoniously using this private information for your own purposes and for sale. As long as the majority of the population is insanely stupid, this trend will continue to intensify.
Ansonsten ist der Helios 18 Mini LED ein absolut tolles Gerät.
