Even worse, it looks like on MacOS you can just straight up start recording on-demand, no need for dictation or siri.

> Even worse, this particular exploit would also allow the app to request DoAP audio on-demand, bypassing the need to wait for the user to talk to Siri or use dictation.

And this is why I have the internal microphone disconnected on my macbook pro. The only time a mike is attached is when I'm actively using it, and even then they have hardware kill switches.

Simple kill switches would be nice to see but I doubt Apple would ever implement something like that.

The internal microphone is entirely unrelated to this bug.

It's not this bug that's the reason he has the internal microphone disconnected. It's the presense of such bugs...
