The Librem 5 claims to have hardware switches for the radios, and it's not even out yet. Yes, most modern devices don't have these switches, and yes it's more expensive to put them in, but hopefully it's not completely going away. I like knowing that something is off (software can fail, whether intentionally or unintentionally), and I'm willing to pay a little extra for that. I hope we haven't completely ignored lessons from Spectre/Meltdown. Trusting the CPU isn't acceptable, so certain things should have a hardware shut-off to ensure malware can't break through (e.g. Purism's laptops have hardware switches for the camera and other components, which is awesome given the Snowdon leaks).
