  I went the other route: I set to away until 2030. Now they don’t know if I’m really away or not.

    You are a fucking master mind! I wonder what other secret knowledge you possess, and I’m serious.

      A buddy of mine at work refuses to ever accept or decline invites - even 1-on-1s with his boss.

      That way it’s always a surprise if they are going to show up.

        I know a guy like that. It’s infuriating because it’s a waste of time. Just decline for fucks sake! At least I can tell the PM that we tried unsuccessfully to schedule and that we have to delay and I can play some video games!

  powershell script that toggles the scrolllock key every 3 minutes.

    Powershell is locked down on our machines via AD policy. I used to run a tool from the Windows Store, but they locked that down too. They didn’t come for the JVM yet.

      I was in a similar situation so I bought a usb mouse wiggler, shows up like a standard usb mouse once plugged in and costs like nothing on AliExpress.

      It really baffled me though, shut down all tools, on a developer machine, why?

        I used to hate it too but once you realize how clueless most devs are it becomes more and more understandable.

        At a friend’s company they scan every USB device, he already got in trouble for plugging in his private USB Stick once. Would this still work?

      If you have Excel you can use VBA to send keycodes too. :-)

  I just use teams-for-linux which has auto-online built-in.

    Auto-online? 😯 I’m very curious: how do you know it has that? It hasn’t been working that great for me, Microsoft won’t always sign it in.

      It’s listed as a feature and you can see it in action if you’re like me and keep displays on for 10+ mins of inactivity… I think the only conflict to it would be if your computer put itself to sleep for power saving.

      I’ve had no issues with it; can’t even recall one. Sign-in issues could just be your company SSO being shit as Microsoft’s SSO so often is…

  Much less resource intensive on your dev machine to just use an esp32 and write a program to pretend to be a mouse and wiggle itself. Benefit is it is completely undetectable on every platform as well.

    For me it’d be better to just run the stupid Teams app on my work phone, but that’s always been a hassle because it locks itself and then I don’t always get the notifications. My primary work laptop only has 16 gigs of RAM, and having Teams eagerly gobble up a significant portion of that is highly frustrating.

    There’s been several occasions where I’ve been building or debugging something, RAM being tight, and the OOM killer correctly deduces that Teams has to go. Makes me laugh every time I finally check back on Teams and realise it’s been dead for a while.

    I wrote in another comment too: A friend’s company scans every USB device. He got in trouble for plugging in his private USB stick once. Are you sure this is undetectable?

      A USB stick reports itself as a USB stick. A device you set up to report itself as what you want reports itself as what you want. The only thing a computer can talk about a device is what the device reports itself. That’s how computers and peripherals work. The computer provides power and the peripheral tells the computer about itself.

      So if you make a device that reports the exact same information as your other mice then yeah the computer thinks it’s the same mouse. But it’s not usable as a USB then. It can’t do other stuff.

      Yes your friend plugging in a USB will get them in trouble, cause they can exfiltrate data.

  That sadly doesn’t work for my workstation, the VDI still locks after 5 mins and I need to 2 factor authenticate again. So I bought a physical mouse Jiggler for 7ish euros and I’m happy again.

  I got roasted by friends calling me lazy because of it, fast forward 3 months and half of them asked me where I bought it. Now most of them have it, including several of my colleagues.

  For the computer it’s an actual mouse since the input is external, so it just works. I’m always green baby ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
