I still don't get why webcam LEDs aren't just wired up to the same power circuit as the camera. Not only would it make it much more secure, but it would also be really simple, and eliminate the need for LED control firmware.

For all that I'm scared this will enable terrifying new exploits, I'm equal parts happy all this proprietary crap is getting blown wide open faster than ever.

Hell yeah, fuck yo lock-in, fuck yo apps biatch 🖕

I really want to do this for my brother embroidery machine. Software is over a grand.

It's about letting a LLM find exploits to your hardware.

I wish my Sony DSLR has some open source firmware. I hate it has to use the Sony app to connect to the GPS on my phone. I hate that my phone sometimes put the app to sleep and I end up with no GPS info.

I love the idea of more control over my devices, but it also illustrates how easily someone else could own everything you own.

Scary times.
