I accidentally put a computer in my bedroom once. It even has a webcam.

The only things that could have made the headline better is if it had happened on Hangouts.

Well that’s a good idea for zoom meetings, but dick or no dick, especially with everyone working from home now, you may not want to be visible. Maybe you’re breast feeding while at a meeting. Maybe you just don’t look your best. I don’t have pants on half the time anymore, but my meetings are rare and never on video.

Plus, there are viruses that grant remote access to your web cam. Or depending how it is set up, admins on the network can see you or capture webcam images. IIRC there was a scandal were that was found to be possible with school issued laptops.

So don’t purposefully expose yourself via your web cam. But also, take a step to protect your privacy from your web cam.

Is nobody else repulsed by his disgusting erotic kink? I’m fine with anything that happens between one or more consenting adults, but the thought that an election roundtable is erotic to anybody . . . anybody . . . is a bridge too far. Not just any election either, it was a discussion about this election. In rational males, it should make the penis flaccid, if it has any measurable effect at all.

For most work meetings, I use an external web cam that rotates. When not using it, I turn it to face the wall. For my laptops’ unmovable cameras I have a large supply of EFF camera stickers that they’ve sent me over the years as membership gifts.

Sounds like they have a prima facie case.

Or is that Res ipsa loquitur?
