My yearly sub just came out yesterday and I got it refunded. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They let him use the app to do so. This is needlessly pedantic
If we're being paranoid about hackers gaining access to your webcam, why would you assume they couldn't also reenable your drivers
I like wireless for my laptop, but I've never understood the point on my desktop. It's never going beyond the cable's length, and the cable has never gotten in the way unless I'm doing extreme motions with a very low sensitivity. And in that case, I am playing competitive fps.
I prefer yanking the cord out while furmark, prime95 and a full delete 0 write on the spinning disks is going.
My mom built computers in the '90s and '00s, she taught me how to use the command prompt to play my dos games. now she can barely use one. I don't know what the hell happened.
It's simple enough to just cover a camera. I'd be far more worried about the always listening microphones.
I've been helping my parents renovate their house recently, and I'm trying to get them to understand this. Just watch a video, it instantly gives you context for commonly agreed upon solutions. You don't have to reinvent solutions to solved problems.
For example, my mom decided to refinish her cabinets doors. They were painted with one layer of a typical latex house paint you could even still see the original finish in the brush strokes. I sanded the paint and the original varnished finish off the interiors in just a few minutes with an orbital sander.
She decided that because she saw that her aunt use a paint stripper on Facebook, that she should do that. So instead of sanding it down to wood in a few minutes, she'll coat the doors with stripper, scrape the paint off, clean the caustic paint stripper off, and then sand the varnish/wood at the end anyway. I tried to explain this, and pull up a video showing how messy and overkill the paint strippers were, and she got mad that I played a video.
Meanwhile, my step dad was helping me install quarter round over their baseboards, I showed him 3 options to finish the ends. A simple 90° cut, a standard 45° bevel, and another mitre with a tiny triangle to round over the end. I explained that the mitre looks the nicest, but it takes twice as long to do.
He proceeded to freehand two bevels for half an hour with a dull chipped chisel. They were completely uneven and jagged. Then I explained he had to repeat that work 18 more times in the hallway alone, assuming he was happy with his.. handiwork.
They have been trying to finish renovating this house for 20 years. Now I see why it is taking so long.
