Do you cover your webcam from your laptop?

youless @youless (113952) • Guangzhou, China 9 Aug 23

I use a little piece of paper to cover my laptop webcam. It is to protect my privacy. As I am not sure whether the webcam is on without my permission. And then I found there is a webcam cover which you can use 3D printer to print...

Simon1223 I may also cover the webcam if I use a laptop with such device. Actually I use a laptop without a webcam, so I don't need worry about such risk. When I need to make a video call with others, I usually use my cellphone.

Simon1223 Thank you for your response. I guess IKEA thought that setting limits would negatively affect its reputation.

Do You Shut Down Your Computer When You Leave It?

Jabo @jaboUK (64346) • United Kingdom 11 Oct 15

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he happened to mention that he never shuts his computer down. He just puts it on 'sleep', and that way when he comes back on it takes him straight back to what he was doing. I...

Simon1223 It depends on the period of time between I leave and return. If I leave for only a few minutes, I will not shut down the computer for it's inconvenient to start it again. But if I leave for a long time, for instance several hours, I will shut down the computer...

Do you like to try new food when you travel to another country?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 11 Oct 15

When you have a chance to travel to another country, do you try new food? Some people are quite reluctant to try something new, so they go for food that are familiar to them. I personally think it is a waste for a person to take a...

Simon1223 Yeah, I don't wanna waste the opportunities of trying local food when I travel in a foreign country or other regions in my country. Food is one of the important factor of local culture. How can we realize the features of culture without tasting the local food?...

do you consider it's hard to wake-up in the morning?

Simon1223 I used to feel hard to wake up in the morning, but now I've changed my mind. The truth is that if you go to bed not so late at night and have enough sleep time, you are more likely to wake up in the morning naturally.

Simon1223 I agree that women feel happy when her husband or boyfriend cook for her. The reason I think is that in women's view, in order to prepare a good dinner, a man need to spend quite a lot of time and energies, which could to a large extent show his care for his...

I Love Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Flavors

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 10 Oct 15

Tonight's guilty pleasure is maple walnut ice cream with chocolate sauce. It was either that or butter pecan. I find that if I eat what I really want, then I don't eat everything else. I have a rule that I don't stand in line for...
