    I’m a little surprised that I’ve never seen bluetooth pressure switches in office chairs to lock workstations when the employee stands up.

    Because clearly you need more meddling in your workflow for the sake of security theater.

      Or a smartcard based login where you could just remove the card

        I was at a company once where they had this. They used a pin for the pc and the smartcard was used everywhere… opening doors to get to the toilet, paying for lunch.

        Employees said it was excellent, as you could not really forget it cause corridor separators had badge locks… so you can’t get anywhere without the card. and once you pull it from the key oards built in reader, the pc locked.

          Yeah, I worked in a secure facility that did this and it felt both secure and reasonable. I just kept my card on a lanyard to my belt so I literally couldn’t walk away without pulling the card.

      I remember surge strips that had infrared sensors to see if there was someone at the desk. Easy way to power off the old CRT monitors and save energy if away.
