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 couldn't care less about the security aspect, but I was actually surprised how much I use Librem 5's kill switches. They're so handy! Well, the cellular and WiFi ones at least, I don't think I have ever used the camera one for non-debugging purposes ๐Ÿ˜œ

@dos @cas Aha? Are you saying that next time camera fails to work, I don't have to reboot, I can just powercycle it with a switch? #Librem5 :-)

@pavel @cas I mean, that's the only thing I use the camera switch for ๐Ÿ˜‚
