For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

    Fair points you’re making there!

    I guess it never bothered me enough to have even crossed my mind.

    I need to look into the latency thing. From my limited knowledge it makes no sense that a wireless mouse could have better latency than a wired one. Unless the wire is made of something barely conductive to electricity and the wireless works with stupidly fast transmission tech, I guess o.o

        Thank you for that link, it’s actually pretty interesting and cool! Would’ve never assumed that the difference between wired and wireless can be THAT insignificant while there’s also such a big difference between brands within the same category.
