im so unbelievably black-pilled on the hardware kill switch concept. you would notice if your phone was recording audio/video and uploading it... if your phone runs a sane OS with good security practices (sooo not any of the Linux mobile solutions rn) apps can't arbitrarily turn your modem/wifi on

idk, change my mind or something

@cas I think the emphasis should be on *hardware* not *kill*. In a world where software tries to be clever physical switches (that are easily operated without even looking at the device) off means of and on means on which is very reassuring when one wants to save power or make sure one doesn't accidentally hit immense roaming fees with wwan on.
