  I’m not Norwegian or in Norway and I’m definitely doing this - my kids know of the problems of social networking (including the latest TikTok court docs and what the execs say.)

  Some friends say that’s over the top; I just say it is responsible, involved parenting. I value their mental health.

  Agreed - if I were evil, I would use this data to look for long periods of static/unchanging desktop screenshots to look for inactivity and employees lying about being there or away.

  Honestly this is just an arms race. If the above happens (and if I can come up with that use case think about what will come up when someone actually smart thinks about it.)

  The response? I’d make a tool that presses alt-tab every 15 seconds a random number of times - to both keep the computer alive and change the desktop view, maybe move the windows around a bit for variety. A usb rubber ducky would be perfect for this.

  Oh man, that brought back some memories, thanks!

  First joystick and then paddles.

  Atari controller

  We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
