    I always cover the camera when doing any banking or typing passwords. Probably not necessary but it only takes a second to drape a tissue over it. :noidea:

          I've got sticky tape over the camera on my laptop, I once turned it on and you could reverse it so you could see yourself, from that moment on I decided I wont be using it to contact anyone;)

                  The camera on Laptops can be disabled by who ever is using the Laptop, I've disabled mine as I don't like the fact that it can be taken over.

                    I laugh when my computer comes up with the warning about what others can see through my camera. It shows the tissue draped over it :roflol:

                      I've had my Samsung smart phone for a few years and it automatically does updates for the Samsung keyboard and other things, when it did a update last week i couldn't use the keyboard very well, so hubby had to change keyboard to the Google one that he has.

                        Hello Logan, mine's inviting me to do yet another update..the 2nd in two weeks. When that started happening with my previous phone, suddenly it said it had no more memory, despite having very few apps and nothing stored on it. It's a scam to get you to buy a new phone. Miraculously, once I'd fallen for it and got a new phone, the old one regained 90% of it's memory. It's scary how we're being manipulated!

                          All the manufacturers are being investigated about building in obsolescence and being told the government are thinking of bringing in legislation. This investigation started with the reduction of service about, supposedly, the batteries losing their charge.

                            Hello Noisette47 yes it is, hubby has his automatic updates switched off on his and he decides what to update, but he knows a lot about computers having worked with them.
                            Sometimes i keep having notices saying that I'm running out of memory because of the apps but i only have what i need on it to work properly. I just ignore it.
