I have an old Samsung without a contract which I only use for notifications

I’ve never bought an Apple product, phone and tablet are Android
even my main computer (win7) is half Android
…which is kinda funny because I dislike Win10 app view

Yes don’t like Win 10 myself – Apple I like for iTunes etc

LOL … and if you break the GLASS CASE on a VERY FRAGILE iPhone “X” via FACE-ID … you’re in for SEVEN YEARS of bad luck 🙂 or maybe 7 years locked up as Donna recently shared 😉

my computer has Facial ID login but I never use it
think it would be harder to coerce a password out of me then shoving my face in front of a camera

+3 and forget facial ID for me … ALL of my laptops have DUCK TAPE over the camera lens 😉 🙂

Tape over the camera unless you are skyping – you didn’t need Ed Snowden to tell you ‘they’ were watching

[CautiousInvestor]

and have a “war story” to tell on DANGERS of webcams .. or in smart devices like the iPHONE 8 or “X” for example …

Being in computer field we sometimes get calls for things that “GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT” … and MS/Office has Lync (and Skype) … while in office our Dell laptops are in nice docking stations & webcam is always off …

But if you get called at night, you open laptop & bingo (I’ve got docking station also at home) …. the webcam comes on unbeknownst to you … I do recall a quite a while back, working with lady in nightgown :ohmy: And also my face in chat session also at 2am in morning (and it ain’t a pretty picture – lol)

So I got the “duck tape” idea even before famous article of Zuck doing that on FB…..

Hence if you a smart TV – tape over the webcam if there is one … You bought TV to watch it … and you don’t want it watching you 😉
