    I just use some gaffers tape to cover the camera.

    One complaint I have is a lot of laptop manufacturers who do put a camera slider in, paint the slider red when it’s closed and black when it’s open. It should be the opposite. Red is dangerous live.

    I fix it just using some enameled nail polish. But it seems opposite of what it should be

        Plug in a dummy headphone jack. But some microphones are not disabled in hardware when that happens.

        The framework laptop does have a hardware switch for that, which is nice
