    Just set the status to something other than active. If it says buy or away 100% of the time, even while on a call, then any crazy manager that’s monitoring it will start to think it’s bugged.

      We just all set it to yellow the entire time so people don’t think they can call out of the blue.

      Complete waste of money. Use an esp32 and write a program to pretend to be a mouse. Benefit of the esp32 is you can reuse it for whatever you want in the future, whether that’s a smart sensor for a door, or a tracking chip for luggage.

        Yea, no.

        The benefit of the mechanical jiggler is that its airgapped from the system. I work in a field that is very very very specific about what peripherals are plugged in and, more importantly, where theyre made. So no, its not a waste, because theres no shot to plug in an unauthorized custom coded outside device. IT will be notified, it will be an immediate firing, probably charges for leakage/espionage.

    With a mouse jiggler, you can control your status manually, even from your phone while you’re in bed. Away at five, Busy at nine, Available when I’m actually at the keyboard only if necessary.

    If start a chat with yourself click the message textbox and hold down the left shift key the teams will think that your typing and it never changes the status. You don’t need to make any changes to your system or install anything with this. Just place a heavy object on the shift key.

      I have a ~10 line powershell script that presses the scroll lock key for 1 second every 60 seconds. Way simpler.

      • dingleberrylover@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I have a similar one. Much simpler. Here it is:

        $wsh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
while(1) {
$wsh.SendKeys(‘+F{15}‘)
Start-Sleep -seconds 59
}

        This will show up in process monitoring.

    Every single production monitoring software I’ve seen on any machine I’ve ever run had some way to make it look like 100% uptime to whoever looks, and that hack was found within a single shift.

    • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Turns out the most effective system for monitoring production is to actually see if someone is producing what they’re supposed to in a reasonable amount of time

      • CADmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Well the consultant I’m paying half a million dollars says otherwise.

        Ok, but management is lazy, incompetent and/or suffering from imposter syndrome (rightful for some). So they don’t know what reasonable is, or what they need to produce, only need to make a number match a projection.

    I setup a meeting with myself so that it’s always red. No green, just red, so I’m always busy.

    • marci@sh.itjust.works ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Bonus: share a 24h fireplace video to your meeting, now you’re listed as ‚presenting‘ and do not disturb activates. The 24h fireplace video will keep your device from going to standby/sleep. My trick to get actual work done.

    Guys just open word and have something press the page down key, for example a game controller. Pc never sleeps, and you’re always green on teams/webex/whatever. Keep it simple.

    I downloaded jiggler on my MacBook and never looked back.

    I seem to remember a blank custom status being enough to stop the indicator going yellow, no mouse movements necessary. Is that no longer the case?

      Unfortunately not, no.

      No but people still set those to give the ol AOL effect of when you hover over them.

    It is deliberate.

  • Reygle@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Definitely don’t go on Amazon or Ebay and buy a cheap mouse jiggler. It gets detected as a generic input device and moves the mouse cursor 1 pixel left, then right 24 hours a day. They are available for under a fiver a piece. Plug it in at day’s start and unplug it before you walk away from your pc.

    source
    • RaoulDook@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s important not to plug in a USB device like that into your work PC. IT can likely see what devices are used on any system.

      Instead use a physical mouse mover device that only requires power, like a USB cord plugged into a wall charger instead of the PC.
