If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, that’s just impressive.

I don’t even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.

    Yeah, but it is a cool proof of concept. I’m sure that in the following years the tech will get better and something like this might be a viable spying solution, but hdds are luckily dying out in private PCs
