A full screen PowerPoint/Google Slides also keeps your machine awake.

    Yeah. Plugging in a USB device that you bought online is a risk, unless you have enough knowhow to analyse it first on your machine running a wm.

    Safer mouse jigger is a small slow electric motor and some legos.

    Motor and legos should work fine. You just need to glue something on with a little more traction on it.

    There is also a powershell script you can use to press numlock on-off in set intervals, but that's more visible to IT, if your company uses activity analysis.

    How paranoid are you if you test every USB device? OK got a new memory stick or keyboard. Gotta test it!

    Plugging shit you ordered from Amazon or Aliexpress on your company laptop is a definate no no, unless you can be sure.

    The company laptop isn't mine, that makes it the perfect test environment!

    We have mandatory biannual courses with a quiz on how not to be you. 😆

    They really suck ass, but I see they have an actual function.

    We only get a quiz that badly teaches you the very basics of how to start a fire. A lesson I learnt when I was about 5. They call it fire safety but its mostly just what does a fire need to burn.

    Fuel, oxygen and an arsonist!

    Did you have the course in how to pick up a cardboard box? It's a mandatory requirement that everyone in the company has to do, even if they work in corporate.

    The heaviest thing I have to live in my job as a mini PC, it weighs considerably less than my cat, I'm not sure I really needed the training.

    A $2 Arduino Nano with mouse juggler code. Very easy to set up, and you know the exact code running on it.

    Unfortunately, ESP32s aren't compatible with HID input. You'll want an Arduino Nano. They can act as a direct input device.

    Though I wonder if you could get that to work as a BLE keyboard... That could be possible.
