    Apparently a spoon left on your laptop trackpad can trick Teams into thinking you’re still there and never marking you as “away”.

      Lol, I got one of those cheap mouse wigglers (mini usb plug, shows up as a Bluetooth mouse) when I could have used a spoon 😁, I’d actually pay good money for one that only wiggles every now and then and not twice a second though.

        Buy a WeVibe and control it from your phone! As a bonus, after you’re done fucking your boss’s exploitation of your labor, you can fuck yourself!

        i got one you put a mouse on and plugs into a socket so the mouse is always moving, and a device that clicks my ESC key - again mechanical, so they can’t detect any devices or software and there’s regular MnK activity.

        Although the real sneaky shit is to attack the staging directory that uploads the images and activity JSON with an OS chronjob with an identical name to the tracking software so it uploads corrupted files

      Ah, I just tend to put my mouse upside down as the LED lighting in my room cause the mouse to move erratically.

      So can something heavy that depresses one of the directional keys.

      Or at least that used to work, been a few years since I tried it.
