So is the camera on a macbook actually able to be hacked to circumvent the light from turning on while it's activated?

No, the light is hardwired. But LEDs can break, so it's not really a reliable indicator anway.

So there's really no benefit to putting tape over my camera then?

This only applies to macs from almost a decade ago though. I'm talking about more current hardware.

i love how the most crucial point of the episode was that the people did commit the crimes, the dude did jerk off to cp, but everyone's glossing over it and just talking about webcam covering lmao

>>57328589
There's benefit, especially if you're a vip
also a benefit if you're a legit retard (most people) and accidentally turn your shit on or dont even know what programs are running all the time
>>
>>57328813
Probably because most people on this board have jerked off to cp.

This article explains that modern cameras can take a single image so quickly that you would never notice the indicator LED going on and off again.

Paranoid enough?

Just put some scotch tape over the camera if you're paranoid.
