"I am creeped out by having a built-in video camera on my laptop. I never use it, so the only thing it's good for is being taken over by malicious spyware in order to stream video of me… So the only reliable solution is to disable it via hardware." Excellent solution. I also dislike video cameras.

If I were worried about my laptop camera, I’d just tape a piece of paper over it. But I’m low-tech like that ;-)

Of course, if there was malware that could stream video of him, it could just as easily re-enable the video camera.

Better tape up that built-in microphone as well!
