I saw probably the same photo as you! The article wasn’t even about that, we just noticed it in the photo. I immediately went and taped over my camera.
Granted he is a higher profile target but he likely has lots of cyber security people going over everything on that machine with a fine tooth comb. And he still has a piece of tape over the camera.
They hand those out at conventions too (or you can buy them, I guess). It’s basically just a small sticker that you can just stick over your shutterless camera and now it has a shutter.
I have both a t14 g1 and g3. With each generation, the keyboard gets more trash. I even tested out my friend’s new recent generation x1 carbon yoga and the keyboard was also bad. Lower travel and didn’t feel as solid.
Makes sense. I had a E6440, E7470, and 7490. The E6440 was a beast of a machine, and the E7470 fell off a 14 foot ladder and still survived, despite missing a corner… The NVMe drive was barely holding on 😅
Just last week we found a bug in our system in that if an user accepts a meet on pc while also having the phone app open, the meet is opened in both devices, - that alone could end very badly.
Fortunately, browsers have safeguards against this sort of thing (activating the camera without user interaction)
…right?
Zuck always has a piece of tape over his camera when you see his laptop. That’s all you need to know.

Both my work laptop and personal laptop have mechanical shutters that can only be opened by hand.
They’re both Thinkpads.

The Thinkpads have shutters built in. It’s quite nice.
One of the main motivating factors for me to get a Lenovo.
Mine is a T14 G1. Work supplied a T15 G2. I like them, solid units.

I’ve had a few Dell Latitudes, none of them had a shutter 🤔

In my experience people click accept without reading or thinking, and usually remember this setting which they may have already done previously.
In any case all my cameras have physical blockers
Browsers and some operating systems.
