What does "silicon-based" - mean? What other computer is not 'silicon-based'?

Is there a way to mechanize the HW detachment of microphone connections at will while using the machine open?
That would be great - if you had a physical switch on the side of machine, which physicall moves the mic wire a mm away from the contact.

Weird thing - I put tape over my webcam at all times, unless in use, obv.
After some time I received a pop-up alert on windows 11 and it lasted briefly, and went away - but freaked me out: "You should unblock your webcam" or something to that effect, I dont have the exact wording - but it was an alert telling me to unblock visibility of my webcam - I think it may have mentioned something about UX reasons - but it happened so quick I missed all the wording.
Yeah - tape over your cams.

It would be cool to have a phone case where is the case screen-facing-flap is closed, it pulls the wool over the eyes of the front-facing cams, so even in 'sleep' mode when the case is closed, the phones cams are all covered... but the mic is a different creature.
------
Remember when NSA was intercepting cisco equipment to install HW back doors in devices shipped to 'enemy' states.
We have known forever about NSA HW backdoors...
but a case that can manipulate the HW MIC switchoff mechanism of a phone with such capability would be cool.
Else ; we need 100% trustworthy ability to disable our Spy-Pilots.

- samstave 4y agoThank you. Wasn't aware.

- samstave 4y agoAh, thank you.
