Ignoring that the article is just an ad for his store, the thing that shocked me was the Orange Pi 5 Plus which includes "onboard microphone". I would NEVER want an onboard microphone unless it was a device I had far more than average trust in. What a great way to reward security breaches!
I think you hit the nail on the head. I completely aggree with you. You'd need something advanced like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliers#/media/File:Long-nosePl... to even be able to remove the mic. It's impossible. Don't reward those hackers!
