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

Me, I unplug the camera and mike when not in use.
Your preferences are not everybody's. Personally, I'd be totally fine with a camera and microphone LED that is guaranteed to activate whenever there is power/signal flowing from either.

That's a bit hard to do on a laptop that has both built in.
