> Cameras and microphones and write enable must have physical switches, not software ones. When will people learn?

I feel like people were pleading for this when people were getting ratted and began taping over their cameras, and the tiny number of laptop manufacturers just ignored what would be a cheap easy change. Eventually, people just accepted that it must be impossible to install a switch. I couldn't ever think of any motivation for a lack of a switch other than government pressure, so I've always assumed that the cameras and microphones are backdoored.

I don't get how "some tape" became the standard solution for these thousand dollar devices.
