Confession time: I caved into pressure and got a web-cam.
To the surprise of no one, there's a world-wide web-cam shortage. But I am nothing if not perspicacious. And lo, I discovered that Wyze was offering a firmware update that turns their security cameras into webcams, to fit this need. Serendipity! 🙂
So I acquire the device, and it's adorable. It has screws and magnets for keeping it in place. So far, so good. But then, there's the lens.
It's a security camera, so it has a fish-eye lens. This means that not only can everyone see the chaotic squalor in which I live, they can see it *in every corner, carpet remnant, and cobweb of the room*. 😬
Am now looking for a Win10x64 app that fakes a web camera by running a film loop. 😅
@xinjinmeng @anthracite Have you considered making the best out of a bad situation and doing some mad skateboarding/jumping in place tricks?

🤔 I do get bulbous.

@Phorm @xinjinmeng Aren't you cheering for a singularity these days, Phorm (as frequently am I)? Have you tried just filming geniefox tits in a fisheye lens? I can't imagine our reality's simulation algorithm is capable of rendering those kind of curves without crashing...
And also, I would hate to risk turning us all into a gigantic Dixieland Jazz band!

"Aren't you cheering for a singularity these days...?"
Yes, very yes.
Though usually of the "Spontaneously generated black hole" variety of singularity, if I'm being perfectly honest.
