I disable everything on MS including camera and microphone. I take control over “trusted installer” and delete or remove a lot of useless crap..co-piole included.
But how is one to know clicking disable actually does that?
MICROSOFT on their own or at behest of government most likely has backdoor in their software.
Opaque tape over cameras can’t be rest by remote access.
Linux code that is scrutinized by many who could spot built-in Spyware should be safer.
