@Slater450413 Yes, this is the #IR camera with #LIDAR functionality as per #WindowsHello spec.

  • And the only reasonable way to deal with it is to unplug it physically...

AFAIK only @purism / #Purism does physical disconnection of the data lines for cameras.

ich finde, Internetdienste bei denen ein Schaden entstehen kann (Kommunikation, Finanzen, Waren, Dienstleister) sollten IMMER Hauptschlüssel und physische Passkeys anbieten.

Es kann im Zeitalter von Big Data doch nicht sein, dass man mich zur Passwortwiederherstellung nach dem Geburtsnamen meines ersten Autos/Meerschweinchens/Mutter fragt! Bei Schantal vom Nagelstudio steht das alles vollständig auf Facebook!

are everywhere nowadays

I myself switch to passkeys for any supported service. Have a look here if your services are supported: passkeys.io/who-supports-passk

Understanding why they're more secure and why they are able to be used in so many different shapes is not as easy.

In some ways #windows11 feels like #linux 10 years ago. Multi-monitor support is iffy but essentially there, language and locale settings are a !total! absolute MESS!! The OS forces weird search stuff on you. PIM suite integragtion is kind of there, kind of not. Workspaces exist, but are totally clunky to use. And for something extra to complain about: #windowshello is convenient, but it just does radom stuff. Sometimes the additional factors work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes I can't even log in and have to rebootm🤷‍♀️ The difference is, Windows is a comercial product. So much for "comercial software has a higher quality insensitive".

Wait a second. This PC is missing the "Facial Recognition (Windows Hello)" optional component, yet Windows Hello face unlock is working when I log onto Windows 🤔. This system is running #Windows11 24H2.

Wenn Ihr mal Spaß mit #WindowsHello haben wollt, legt Euch zwei Konten an und aktiviert bei beiden die Gesichtserkennung (und die PIN als Fallback).

Bei mir ging zum Schluss nur noch die PIN bei einem Konto, nachdem ich die Kamera abgedeckt hatte - alles andere führte zu seltsamen Fehlermeldungen 🤯

Microsoft just made Windows Hello afraid of the dark to prevent spoofing attacks. Your laptop now needs to actually SEE your face, not just sense it with IR sensors. RIP midnight productivity sessions! 👻💻
