Feels like Apple could boost their ecosystem by making great iPhone/macOS webcam integration. There's Kinoni's EpocCam and it seems to work, but it is a bit rough and requires installing their driver which I don't love.
Why shouldn’t the price increase with a supply chain disruption and demand boom? Would you prefer a shortage with no incentive to increase production?
If I used to produce 100 units per month because that's how many I could sell, but now I know I can sell 10000 units per month, that is incentive enough to increase production. Notice here that raising the price is not at all required to increase profits. It's just something companies tend to do because they know they can get away with it in high demand markets. And since raising prices to increase profits is not nec…
You see the problem?
Yeast. I haven’t needed yeast in years, recently I found a recipe with yeast I wanted to try and found out that, at least where I am in Germany, yeast is sold out. I heard about the webcam thing from my boss, he asked me if he gave me a webcam years ago when I started remote working. He did, but it was in the attic and I had to go looking for it ;)
Yup, same here in Canada - can't get yeast anywhere. Even flour is tough to come by despite the fact that Canada has tons of wheat - the flour mills are working overtime. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/article-f...

He's referring to upload, not download, since that is the relevant metric when talking about using a webcam.
That still depends on where you are. Don't assume that the rest of the world is like America. Here in South Korea, 100M symmetric is the bare minimum. For just a few dollars more, you can upgrade to an "up to 500M" plan that usually provides something like 300M symmetric. Often, upload speeds are even faster than download speeds because there's less congestion in that direction.
Where was the US mentioned, and how is this relevant?
I have mine always disabled, before the new Lenovo's it was tape, not Lenovo has the disable built into the hardware, I super glued mine to the closed position

It's a tricky spot. Letting the prices rise keeps the folks who don't need one, but merely want one, from buying one, thus leaving some supply for those who actually need one. On the other hand, prices quickly get out of control if left to their own devices. Some say that's natural, and perhaps it is, but that doesn't mean it's good all the time. As for increasing production, this is one thing where raising prices ca…
These still seem to be available, though you'll need to be careful with them or build a box.
The other thing is old phones and tablets. Wipe them, root, install something like Lineage and then get an IP camera app, dead simple and provides a second display for what you're presenting on the camera.
