IMHO both camera and microphone should have a physical switch disconnecting them.
And you know, the led shouldn’t be fucking firmware controlled!
It’s a really good idea, but to work reliably, it should be HARDWIRED to light up when the cmos is receiving power.
Framework laptops do this- and the switch that kills the camera also slides a shutter over the lens as well.
Oh, mine only seems to physically disconnect the camera and not slide anything in front of the lens. Do you have the 16?
That lens cover also seems unnecessary to me. A physical disconnect for the camera and microphone is a nice touch of Framework’s laptops…
