Is the source for the meme made up? Does it get a pass too?

The meme made a claim! I don't see you contesting that. And again, go do your research. Find groups who are willing to share such content. I'm not, period.

Source: Hamas, ask them!

I'm not your delivery man, find them for yourself.

Join the groups in the platforms I mentioned pior and find the photos for yourself. Only a terrorist group like Hamas is prepared and willing to share such atrocities online. I'm not one of them. Go do your own research.

If you don't see anything wrong with sharing photos of decapitated dead babies, I have nothing else to talk to you about. Go do your own research if you're so inclined to.

IDF said what now?! Sauce or it's lies.

You will not find such material through official sources. They are atrocities and should not be circulated for many many good reasons. The photos and videos that do exist are spread around by Hamas themselves who have a sadistic satisfaction in seeing jews, abused, tortured and dead.

I've seen photos of said babies. Look up for groups in WhatsApp or Telegram and you'll find them.

now I'm hungry

They made the connection, not me.

Has he been sentenced already?!

Alternate ending to the short movie Burn-E

Sorry but I'll have to correct you there. The webcam (even the ones embedded to laptop screen frames) are a mere usb device, using four wires in total: 2 for power and 2 for serial comms. The device doesn't get "powered on or off". There's a controller chip that handles everything, from the simple usb serial comms to image processing. What I was referring to is that, in the past, there was a pin on that chip which would go high indicating the chip was "called", as in it had come out of standby. This pin was not software dependent and could not be changed. Manufacturers would use this enabled pin to control the led (amongst other things) but these days they don't. Mostly because these pins get repurposed depending on the application and so it's cheaper to use software to configure them with new functions instead of having pins that only carry out a single function. In theory is a smarter way to utilise chips in multiple products but by ignoring true customer privacy.

For a long time the LED indicators were part of the enable circuit and therefore hardwired to turn on/off on camera “active”. These days though… The fact that it’s a firmware “feature” already says tons about it.

That will backfire badly and Biff becomes a drug lord.

You're being reasonable. That doesn't fly here my friend.

Agreed, left and right politics are a lot more centre leaning here in NZ than in other countries (it seems) and I like that about it. Either extreme is bad for any society because they tend to get a lot alike the further away they get from each other. The fact is that it's becoming harder and harder avoid overseas influences though and more extreme narratives pop up all the time, on both sides. I hope we manage to stay away from extremism for as long as possible.

Was an on/off service technician/engineer for the last 20 years and can confirm. Many times I’d get a fault call just to arrive, pull out my screw driver and the issue simply resolves itself. It’s as if it knows things are getting serious and it’s afraid to be taken apart.

Some of that data could be from (or for) customer use, like the service passwords.
