jraph is simply pointing out that a laptop likely has a built in mic which can still be surreptitiously used no matter what the user plugs in and says is their preference. Untrusted is untrusted.
- deaddodo 3y agoNo, if you re-read their post, they were pointing out that and trying to say you can't block an external mic. At least, that's how my mind parses it. I don't know their actual intention for certain.
- jraph 3y ago_carbyau_'s interpretation is correct, I meant to say that if you don't trust your laptop, you can't block for sure its internal mic by plugging a fake external mic. An untrusted app could always select the internal mic.
