One complaint I have is a lot of laptop manufacturers who do put a camera slider in, paint the slider red when it’s closed and black when it’s open. It should be the opposite. Red is dangerous live.
I fix it just using some enameled nail polish. But it seems opposite of what it should be
I just use some gaffers tape to cover the camera.

That’s not possible, because the sensor is black (or at least very dark).
Right, but the ring around the sensor is plastic. That plastic could be red. To indicate that the camera is uncovered
What about the mic?
Plug in a dummy headphone jack. But some microphones are not disabled in hardware when that happens.
The framework laptop does have a hardware switch for that, which is nice
They have it that way because it reduces the support calls from idiots who can’t figure out why their webcam won’t work.
