You can't disable it in software.

You can put a piece of tape over it, fill it with black nail polish, let the smoke out of the LED, or otherwise keep the light from being visible.

This particular LED not only emits light but works in reverse as well: it functions as an ambient light sensor. Recording is paused if the LED and camera inputs have a significant difference in detected light levels.

The preppers around here boast that because they have guns and you don't, they don't need to grow their own farms because they'll just attack you and steal yours.

What are they going to eat when there's no more people growing food, and they've emptied all of their Alex Jones Prepper Buckets?

itsyaboi · a year ago
Perhaps they will come around occasionally and collect some of your grown food at gunpoint as a tax. What are you going to do, starve yourself to spite them?

Didn't like the guy when he was in the news, but this is too long ago, give it a rest. Why does NZ even play ball on this, just tell the US to f off.
itsyaboi · a year ago
Because NZ is a vassal state.

if you’re really worried, don’t leave anything in your car and don’t lock it
itsyaboi · a year ago
I don't understand this advice. Are you suggesting that if you make it easier for thieves to break into your car, they are less likely to damage it?

What's baffling to me is how this is acceptable to enterprise customers. Your "free PC" was acceptable to you as a poor student, but would never have been acceptable to them. Now, most of this bloatware remains on millions of work PCs.

So money is the objective, but with extra steps ;)

Money is __a__ objective not __the__ objective.
itsyaboi commented on Most of Russia's War Chips Are Made by US and EU Companies (Intel, AMD, STM)   bloomberg.com/news/articl... · Posted by u/giuliomagnifico

We need to stop pretending that Russia is anywhere near as strong as East Germany + Ukraine + rest of Soviet Union.

This here proves that Russians cannot make chips on their own. The loss of East Germany and other high tech sectors of the former union is grossly apparent.

EDIT: if Russia were any stronger than they really are, they'd build their own chips. Rather than try to avoid sanctions to purchase our $1 low-tech mass produced chips. The fact that they've stopped so low as to rely upon burglary of others is our advantage. It means we can slow down and hamper their efforts.

This is silly. No one can "make chips on their own" except for China/Taiwan. Even the US would be limited to manufacturing small quantities for military/research purposes that are several generations behind the state of the art. Consumer electronics would become a scarce commodity very quickly.

This is what they said and it very clearly excludes the scenario in question:

> The extra layer of security provided by end-to-end encryption means that the content of your messages and calls with friends and family are protected from the moment they leave your device to the moment they reach the receiver’s device. This means that nobody, including Meta, can see what’s sent or said, unless you choose to report a message to us.

Eh plenty of wiggle room here
