a small piece of black electrical tape seems to work well as a camera cover on devices
There’s a fine line between being cautious and going full McAfee. The problem is, the world keeps moving that line.
What used to be “paranoid” now reads like common sense. Covering your webcam? Routine. Running a deGoogled phone? Sensible. Using encrypted chat? Basic hygiene.
So where’s the actual line?

I use a fun sticker or cut the wire depending on the device
Be careful with the sort of tape you use if you ever plan on using the camera again. Certain types of tape will wreck the lens. I use the "blocked" stickers.
probably true, though just using it only on front facing cameras though, behind a screen. might make residue easier to wipe off I imagine
