There is a good amount of detail in the 15-page report, but these are the key paragraphs. @theaircurrent.com's report for reference: theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf...

The switches are spring-loaded, you have to lift them up, against spring pressure, in order to move them

High time to mandate cockpit video recorders. It‘s a total anachronism thar we still have to analyse audio drama leaving room for interpretation.

Is there any computer control over these switches? Are they 100% manually controlled?

The switches in question are mechanical switches that must be operated by hand. For the switch to change position it must be pulled outward against a spring mechanism, then moved.

No computer override means one of the pilots had to do it? Can a person shut both off at the same time? I ask due to how simultaneously they were shut down.

Well anyone on the flightdeck could - though the preliminary report made no mention of anyone else being present. Switching both to CUTOFF one after the other is normal procedure on the ground at the end of a flight.

The protective brackets that prevent those fuel switches from accidentally being moved to CUTOFF, are they engaged automatically? Is there anyway to accidentally remove those?

everything i've read and seen pictures of online indicates it is actually impossible to do this accidentally, especially two in succession within the same second

just so we’re clear…turning off the fuel is bad, right?
