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 no radio device can broadcast whatever if it has no power?
from bt announcing to the world you are around. To your modem saying hello to cell towers.

runtime battery life? why have the card powered if you are on the street and not using it.
