hardware switch wishlist/discussion - switches on the outside?
#4
i think this is a very bad design decision, what is the use case of hardware switches?

The whole point for me was to have everything off except when i needed it, having to open the phone and use a tool for it defeats the purpose completely, i will just leave everything on all the time, might not have any switches for all i care, it's just a linux phone... not a privacy phone

Do i have some spyware using wifi? too bad, wifi is on, if it was off and i needed it i could not turn it on easily, a phone is to use on the move, not at home surrounded by tools, if i use my pinephone for a car dashboard or something i can set and forget, NOT the use case for a phone
