If your computer uses the camera for ambient light sensing instead of a separate sensor, they definitely fucked up building it.

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 31 points 4 months ago

The sensors are usually pretty close to the camera, so the chances of taping over it are relatively high.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 26 points 4 months ago

tape over it and set your brightness by hand.

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Brightness has another option other than maximum? Contrast and black point my lads.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

lol i even downloaded some FOSS program to dim my PC screens at night. My eyes have gotten light-sensitive as age...

[-] Amir@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately doesn't work on LCDs, your black point also goes up

[-] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Yes but I would like my eyes to not be seared off at night

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Wait is that what those little holes do???

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

There's usually 3 or 4 holes.

Camera lens, light sensor and microphone.

I did helpdesk during the pandemic and the number of tickets for "poor microphone quality" was insane. Most people used tape or bandaids to cover the camera... And microphone

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The real reason for shitty microphone quality is using the shitty microphone that comes with your laptop. Get a decent wireless headset with a mute button on it and you can move around your house during meetings while still sounding way better than you would be sitting in front of it using the laptop mic.

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

Yes. Usually you have a brightness and sometimes also a proximity sensor. Proximity is usually used for phones so they can deactivate the screen if you hold the phone like an actual phone against your ear.

I have not had one like that in a while but some cheap models did. Looking at you Toshiba Satellite.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 4 months ago

Several smartphones do this too.
