Yes, it would be absurd for any one person to do both of those things, but I highly doubt that has occurred.

It is rather amazing that smartphone cameras are so feature packed, yet still lack a lens cover. Something as old as cameras themselves.

Old cameras didn't exactly fit in your pocket, and didn't have sapphire glass...

Though I do think it would be nice to have a hardware (iris?) way to close off the camera. Some laptops have this, though I'm sad mine doesn't.

They are available for phones and laptops, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B66VZ97/

+1 these are awesome. I have them on all my devices.

That's pretty nice. I'll have to see if I can find some designed for ThinkPads and Samsung phones.

Should work on all Laptops, not sure what's different about ThinkPads. Probably won't work on Samsung phones though.
