      +title: "Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      +title: "Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
      \n
      My uses for a webcam are:\n
      \n
      - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
      - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
      - Video call with family and friends\n
      - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
      - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
      - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
      \n
      At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
      \n
      At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
      \n
      I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
      \n
      **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
      \n
      I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
      \n
      Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
      \n
      **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
      \n
      I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
      \n
      Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      +title: "Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      +title: "Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      +title: "Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.

      +body: """
        Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone to think I’m totally unaware of the problems with Windows and Microsoft.)\n
        \n
        My uses for a webcam are:\n
        \n
        - Streaming with friends (sharing games and video feed, playing Jackbox games, chatting, etc.)\n
        - Playing Magic the Gathering via Spelltable (so it needs to be able to be positioned facing my playmat and good enough quality to detect the cards)\n
        - Video call with family and friends\n
        - Occasional use for presenting professional webinars (during occasions when I have to work from home)\n
        - Occasionally pre-recording work-related content that will be publicly viewable\n
        - Use with OBS virtual camera\n
        \n
        At work, I use a Logitech camera that my employer provided me with OBS software. It’s an older model, but I’m not sure of model number or anything off the top of my head. It’s not the best, and I’d like something a bit better at home.\n
        \n
        At home, I was using a similar Logitech camera, but a year ago I decided to upgrade and purchased the Razer Kiyo Pro. *What a mistake!* Every time this camera gets plugged in, it prompts me to install Razer Synapse. It even puts the installer directly on my hard drive without my permission!\n
        \n
        I’ve saved up a bit, and I’d like to try again with a different camera, one that doesn’t push its proprietary software on me. I was considering Logitech, but iirc Logi’s newer models *also do the same thing.* Or is this wrong?\n
        \n
        **Either way, I’d be so grateful if someone could recommend a reasonably high quality budget camera in the ~$100 range. I *could* go up to maybe $125, but after that it would start to really hurt.**\n
        \n
        I’ve done a lot of searching myself, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to find a camera that doesn’t either require or constantly push its proprietary software, and apparently some people [checks notes] *like the proprietary software being shoved at them???*\n
        \n
        Anyway, I’d be so thankful if you could help. This community helped me so much before when I needed a modem and router to escape the clutches of my IP, so I thought maybe someone would have some advice.
