The little sliding cover is like the dummy pedestrian switches on traffic lights - it keeps you happy. The sliding cover is translucent. It just looks black to you, not to the camera.
The Congressmen should speak to PM Cameron of the UK about the need for privacy and encryption. He seems to have gotten a change of heart following the Panama Papers leak.
Anyhoo, all encryption is breakable. It may just take a while...
Yeah well, changing from sudo to normal isn't exactly hard. The better you know UNIX, the less it matters which distribution you use, since they are all the same underneath. People who bitch and moan are usually the young and impatient who don't want to RTFM. The people who don't moan and bitch are usually the older ones who don't need to RTFM anymore.
People - especially geeks - like to moan and bitch. I've been using Fedora KDE for the past 10 years. In general it works just as well as my Mac. Ubuntu is fine too - I use it with XFCE usually. Linux has a plethora of desktop systems and instead of moaning and bitching about one, everyone is free to use another one.
They are Russian. They cannot read or understand English or German, or the Latin alphabet. So how the hell does anyone think that the common Ruskie would know anything about it?
Exactly. The desktop is a small niche dominated by Windows. Linux dominates everything else and has much larger market share than Windows. Every year, there are more Linux phones sold than the total installed base of Windows. The desktop simply doesn't matter any more.
My accountant wife is sitting over there with her Linux laptop running Fedora KDE. She has a Macbook Pro too, but she refuses to use it - too complicated.
Well, Ubuntu was never known for good wizards. If you want wizards and do clickety-mousy sysadmining, then you need PCLinuxOS (Mandrake). It has had wizards for everything since the last century.
It provides a very simple way to control the devices that are allowed to hook to your machine via a kernel security feature that has been there for many a year: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Doc...
Even nicer if you are doing R&D and use USB serial devices. Each time you plug a different one in, it gets a new device name. If have seen PCs with COM57: listed for the serial port.

So, I'll just put the real spy camera next to the shutter and your dummy camera, underneath the translucent plastic bezel.
Metal lens cap - pin-hole camera - just looks like a metal lens cap.
Hmm, so I'll just put the switch on the LED.
So both the FBI director and the PM of the UK are now worried about privacy?

...and you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Hmm, I think the Titanic made a bigger splash at its launch...
Hmm, I've been running Fedora exclusively for the last 6 years. Guess that I and a few million others are just incredibly lucky then...
We need a few more degrees of global warming, to make coal, to use for heating during the next ice age.
Just wait a few more years and global cooling will be back. Obviously, the term 'climate change' will still apply.

Uhh, maybe it is time for you to upgrade from Red Hat 2.0? The rest of us just plug them in and they work.
Man, obviously you have never actually looked at (nevermind used) FreeBSD. If you have, then you would know how much GNU packages there are in it.
" The days of humans coding computers are coming to an end." You must be very young. I heard that meme several times already over the decades.
Those who use a real computer, can run USBGuard: https://dkopecek.github.io/usb...

Well, Linux will actually warn you that your Caps Lock is one. Why doesn't Winders do that?
Cool. You almost made me snort my Coke, eh?

The OS should not accept any random HID device either. OpenBSD can lock that down.
