Unlike many others in this thread, I can’t download any programs on my work laptop. I just don’t have permissions.

So I found a much lower tech way of staying green. I go to the chat with yourself chat. Then I put a 3 pound weight on the backspace button. This keeps me green forever.

With my old work laptop, I was able to press backspace then wedge a set of tweezers in the key to hold it down.

Whatever works lol.

A quarter is the perfect thickness to wedge into a key to keep it pressed

Just have a meeting with you as the only invite then set status as available. It’ll stay like that all day.

Same with my wife. Which is why I gave her an esp32 with a program on it that makes it pretend to be a mouse. It will randomly move just like a regular mouse and the computer cannot tell it’s not actually a mouse. Just plug it in whenever you want to walk away.

I used to open a blank document and put something heavy on the spacebar, too. That was until someone unveild me the secret technique of placing a spoon on the laptop’s touchpad. It changed my life.
