   So fun fact, the #librem5 kill switches work extremely well!

   I can keep the Mic/camaera off until I need to make a phone call and/or take a picture. Even if I forget to turn on the mic before the call, it will flip and work just fine!

   Wifi/Bluetooth and the modem kill switch also work great.

     Another good reason to buy an L5 is that you are supporting the development of Mobile Linux. Purism pays for a full time engineers to develop for mobile linux!

     @kop316 @kyle @agx
     This is the main reason I am considering springing $1300+ on a Librem 5. I currently use a #Pinephone but the lack of (actually useful) killswitches makes me long for something better.

     Yeah I use them all the time, the WiFi for the same reason (to save battery). I also just like knowing that the camera and mics are off.

     @kop316 I use them all the time! In particular I will use the wifi kill switch whenever I leave the house as a quick and easy way to save battery.
