So fun fact, the #librem5 kill switches work extremely well!
I can keep the Mic/camaera off until I need to make a phone call and/or take a picture. Even if I forget to turn on the mic before the call, it will flip and work just fine!
Wifi/Bluetooth and the modem kill switch also work great.
@kop316 I use them all the time! In particular I will use the wifi kill switch whenever I leave the house as a quick and easy way to save battery.

This is the main reason I am considering springing $1300+ on a Librem 5. I currently use a #Pinephone but the lack of (actually useful) killswitches makes me long for something better.
@blendergeek @kop316 @agx Yeah while I think it's great PP has it as an option at all, having them all accessible on the side so they can be triggered quickly, even w/o looking, makes them incredibly useful and makes you more likely to use them. The only time I actually use a software switch is if I want to switch off part of something controlled by a HKS (disable WiFi but keep BT).
