For projects where you just want to use RFID 13.56MHz tags or cards, this nicely packaged RFID reader may be more desirable than our RFID/NFC shield or breakout. The nice thing about this reader is that its packaged in plastic, has an LED and buzzer to indicate when a card is read, and spits out the 4-byte card ID over the PS/2 cable as if it were a keyboard. It cannot read or write the contents of the card, its only good for reading the...

Look, we're not saying anyone's watching you. We're not saying that some secret organization has taken over your webcam and is recording you, right now, as you read this sentence. And we're definitely not saying the government's watching you. We're not saying that the FBI or the NSA took over your laptop's camera and are making sure you're not using your Onion Pi too much. That would be crazy - like thinking that...

Let's just say, hypothetically, that someone wanted to take over your webcam and observe your every move. And let's just say you didn't want them to - because, hypothetically , you were building an open-source white hat firewall, or an CircuitPython chaos inciter, or you can only do one pull-up and just ate a whole bag of Bugles. Then maybe spending a couple bucks on a webcam blocking sticker wouldn't seem so ridiculous....
