Looking forward to buying the robot I can send to the movie theater to watch the AI-generated movie for me and come back and tell me what happened.

I wonder if Bard can plain watch you. Like you consent to have Bard use your webcam the entirety of the time its open and even if you detoggle or choose to disable and de-permission it explicitly. What a time to be ~~watched and tracked perpetually~~ alive ๐Ÿงžโ€โ™‚๏ธ

On that note, can phones bring proper borders back? Damn hole-punch cameras make it unnecessearly hard to cover them up

Bezel = Life

[โ€“] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

android now lets you disable the camera on an OS level. Not quite as good as hardware, but close.

[โ€“] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this new with Android 14?

[โ€“] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No it's been around for a couple of years

[โ€“] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean the sensors toogle that you can enable from the developer options?

Or is there actually a separate feature for this?

[โ€“] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No a seperate feature. It should be in your quick toggles but may depend on your oem

[โ€“] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oooh, I see what you mean, just found it. Would be cool if it allowed for more granular control though, so it would prompt to enable access just for the app you want to use, and not globally

[โ€“] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like camera permissions? We've had those for over a decade

[โ€“] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Well damn, I bring honour to my username.

A boring panopticon

Talk dirty to me, Big Brother

[โ€“] atrielienz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I think Google and other companies would like that. Particularly to watch your eyes and see what draws your attention on the page. For the ads, obviously. Because we live in the worst timeline.

This is why webcams have a little light next to them to indicate that they are active. If it's on when it's not supposed to you know you've got a problem to fix.

I still cover 'em. Just need one for iPhone ๐Ÿค”
