@[email protected] Danke, den Artikel finde ich sehr wichtig. Ein Grund mehr, für Verantwortliche in der Wirtschaft usw... auf Linux umzustellen und dort die von US-Konzernen unabhängige Entwicklung finanziell zu fördern. #Diversität schützt m.E. vor solchen #killswitches und wenn man seine Personalverwaltung etc... im Blick auf Betriebssysteme und Software eben divers aufgestellt hat etc... ist auch ein größerer Konzern im DAX nicht mehr so abhängig von Microsoft und Co.
Die Bundeswehr ist m.W. dabei, umzustellen, ebenso Schleswig Holstein... Vielleicht schaffen wir es ja, dass solche Beispiele Schule machen?

The Liberux NEXX will include 3 physical kill-switches for total privacy:

1️⃣ Microphone + Cameras
2️⃣ Wi-Fi + Bluetooth
3️⃣ Communications Module
1️⃣ ➕ 2️⃣ ➕ 3️⃣ OFF → all other sensors are also disabled

This was the original design… but we're now considering the possibility of one more switch: 4️⃣ , a slider integrated into the camera’s shutter button, to separate cameras and microphone. What do you think about it?

3 hardware kill switches for Librem 5 Linux smartphone.

These three physical switches would disable cameras/microphone, WiFi/Bluetooth, and the cellular baseband on this upcoming privacy-minded smartphone from Purism.

When all three hardware kill switches are activated, it also triggers a "lockdown" mode. The lockdown mode will also disable various sensors on the device.
