I really wish physical switches that cut power to mics and cameras were standard on everything.
I know that would be change from how hardware works / is designed now but it also seems like the only reliable line of defense.
some computers have this e.g. raspberry pi
And the upcoming pinebook pro: comes with a hardware privacy switch for camera, microphones and bluetooth/wifi.
For those who aren't familiar with pinebooks, they're $99 arm-based linux laptops.
Nice to see some folks adopting a solid last line of defense.
