Privacy & Paranoid-but-Practical
Webcam Cover Slides (6 Pack)
A $2 sticker against a multi-billion-dollar data industry.
How John uses it
Every camera in the cabin that I don’t actively need pointed at me has one of these over it. Laptop. Old tablet. The webcam on the weather station PC that I only use for screen share twice a year. The slide is open maybe 1% of the time it exists — which is exactly how much access I want anything to have.
People ask me if this is paranoid. I ask them when they last audited what runs on their laptop at 2 AM. Nobody has a good answer. So we slide the cover.
Why John recommends it
Software exploits come and go. A physical cover doesn’t care what the software is doing. It’s the simplest, cheapest, most foolproof piece of privacy hardware you can own, and the fact that it costs less than a coffee is not a reason to skip it — it’s a reason to put one on every device in the house.
