For example using privacy screen protectors or phone cases with a manual shutter over the camera.

Miss the days when laptops had kensington locks
Those were pretty useless most of the time.
Eh just needed to be mediocre enough to deter people. Make it so it seems like another person’s laptop is easier to steal
Tape or card over front cameras. 🙈
Now that front cameras are embedded in the screen, that’s a bit annoying…
Solution (to me, at least): don’t buy such phones. They are ugly anyways.
They are becoming the norm though…
Tape over my webcamera on my laptop is about all I do physically everything else I trust to software. My pixel cant have a privacy screen protector because of the fingerprint scanner in the screen sadly
Which Pixel is that out of interest ?
Pixel 6 but I think every other newer gen has the same issue
Sure. I try to disable or disconnect cameras and microphones when possible. My laptop’s camera has tape on it and on my PinePhone I’ve disabled the camera with a switch.
I have disconnected the built-in camera and microphone on my laptop. If I want to have a conference call, I just plug in equivalent external devices.
Often overlooked and incredably imortant. Your security is as strong its weakest link.
Regularly delete stuff. Ensure I have backed up my 2FA codes if the phone ianlost or stolen.
Not really. I disable camera access to most apps on my phone and in general I trust that. Never felt the need for a physical shutter.
I think if I was in an environment where I used my devices within eyeshot of others frequently I’d probably think about a privacy screen protector, but I typically have private places I can use my phone for sensitive things so I just try to be cognizant of my surroundings to prevent shoulder surfing
All depends on the threats you’re concerned about I guess
