@lanodan You better tape your webcam or use a laptop without one.

@xianc78 Thinkpads come with an integrated camera shutter.
Before that I would physically unplug the integrated webcam (I basically never show my face anyway).

@lanodan I wish that people would still make laptops without webcams. I have no use for them. Shutters or taping your webcam doesn't solve the microphone issue.

@xianc78 microphone one could be solved with a bit old soldering and a small switch.
Reminds me that I wish volume control on laptops would still be full-hardware based, you just need a potentiometer.

@lanodan I've only soldered once in my entire life and that was a decade ago. I do want to get back to it because it's such a useful skill, but there are dozens of skills I regret not fully learning in my youth.

I've actually never seen a laptop with hardware volume controls. The oldest laptops I ever got my hands on were pre-OSX MacBooks and I don't think they ever had hardware volume controls.
