It's also fairly trivial to disable an LED physically.

On a site called "hacker news" how is this not mentioned at the top-level to all of the "an led prevents people from silently recording you"?

"If the LED is covered, you will be required to uncover it."

Can you post where it says that, all I can find is "you will be notified"?

It's right on the linked page, but you're right it doesn't say anything about being 'required' to uncover it.

>The Capture LED lets others know when you’re capturing content or going live. If the LED is covered, you’ll be notified to clear it.

Wow, that is so dirty. They are doing the 2009 "get people to share things privately and then do a settings refactor that now makes the private things public until you reset them to private" Wow, I am sure this ends well for Rayband. :)

I interpreted "you’ll be notified to clear it" in the sense of "You will be notified that this is the reason the camera won't take pictures".

It seems like a logical assumption - what's the point of adding tech to prevent the target-visible warning light from being obscured, if you're still allowed to take the pictures with it obscured?
