I wanna see you do that when all the wiring is integrated into a pair of glasses. And it can't be obvious afterwards that they were tampered with.
Bro. Almost anything these days were either modded, or is about to. It will be either mechanical or software based. But it will happen. Or, even better, already happened.
You new, or what?
Two tiny pieces of electrical tape will negate that light.
Works with check engine lights across the world.
As some hacker with a piece of malware, how do you propose to do that?
??? not sure how you got there
No, the issue was “can some hacker take control of my WebCam without me knowing? “
Not if it’s wired with a notification light in the way, I have suggested.
If you wanna hack your own device, whatever dude
No, not sure how you got there. The law being proposed here is meant to protect unsuspecting people from being recorded without their knowledge by creeps wearing these glasses. The hacking, nail polish and tape suggestions are all to demonstrate that the law wouldn't actually stop those creeps because they have methods to suppress the LED, even if it's hardwired.
Uh... Nope.
Making your akshually rebuff ironic. Oof.
