The privacy switch is such a killer feature.

That was also on my list when I was looking for a new phone but I got the FP6 instead.

Can you engage it programatically? Like turn it on every time you disconnect from your house's wifi?

Are you using Android, e/OS or Nura on the FP6?

Some features are supported but I think I have seen recent posts that more features are getting support over time so it will hopefully be more features supported soon.

It is a physical switch so it will not work.

That was my go to, but then they refused to give me a deductible invoice for my company (which is just me and my wife). It would have been a not-insignificant tax cut, as €700 is an expense deducted from our profit tax, but because we don't have an EU-VAT number (being a minuscule company), they refused. We had no problems with other companies. So I just went for a Motorola instead (which was tax deductible). I really wanted their phone, but their complete unwillingness to cooperate, while I'm trying to buy their (arguably justified) overpriced phone, has made me a non-customer for life. A shame because I really sympathise with what they represent, but if I'm spending €700 on a mid-range phone, I want that spent money, to at least save me some money.

That's definitely neat, but isn't it sort of a moot point when a hardware switch is just controlling software? I haven't read into it, so maybe I'm not understanding correctly.

I'm a pretty big fan of the Framework's hardware switches for the mic and camera.
