what is that?

Locks on computers are kino, thoughbeit.
>>108404947>>108404975this is very likely a office anti-theft device. office buildings will often have laptop chargers routed through desks like a normal computer, so one can't just grab your laptop and walk away with it when using something like this. if your company has like 400 identical laptops its not exactly hard for a employee to just clear out the place.doesn't make it any less of a waste of money though.

>>108405009>this is very likely a office anti-theft device. office buildings will often have laptop chargers routed through desks like a normal computer,most of them in showrooms or places like airports and banks so someone cant just pick up a laptop and walk away with italso the stores advertising consumer laptops and listing "kensington lock" as a feature right after cpu type and storage amount was always very retarded

>>108405009it's bad enough you needed a chatbot to look up a kensington lock, but also that you posted bot output here
>>108405009thanks chatgpt. I hope you are having a good day ~~

>>108404947Having stolen a number of laptops in my time, I can confirm this technology is useless.
>>108404947The only brand these are used for that keep the entire laptop from harm are thinkpads. Everything else will have something break when Tamajafarakahn Lequavious the Turd tries to snatch and run off with it.
Piss bags.
>>108404947do display laptops use these? or something more robust
>>108405813I had something similar for my Thinkpad a few years ago, though I never left the house. ;3
>>108405829attack kittens are very effective at their one jobthey effectively distract and stall thieves until you get back from arby's and can take matters into your own hands
>>108404975It's a classic electronics anti-theft device, often times referred to as a Kensington Lock. While it's primarily used for safety, users often lock up their friend's devices in a playful, harmless prank. This lock doesn't just protect your devices — it teaches you about safety and ownership in a fun, constructive way. Haha.
It's a "keep honest people honest" lock for low risk environments. It's basically a screen door lock.
>>108404947when you have to destroy the device in order to steal it, it dissuades non-nogs from committing theft (nogs will steal it anyways then complain about racist anti-theft devices)
>>108407161>it's not just x, it's y> —Thank you Chatgpt, very cool
>>108404947so that's what the computer lock thing for those actually looks like
its to prevent the sorts of melanated people appearing online and in repair shops saying they forgot their device's password
>>108404975Lets you lock your bike to the nearest laptop.
>>108404947it saves you precious time when someone is trying to steal it.someone broke into your place and wants your laptophe will damage it making it unsellable or waste time trying to finesse it

>>108412152blacks will only bring hammers and timberlands
>>108412157Cool, well the hammer will likely snap either the locking piece or thin walls that lock this into the laptop's case. He probably doesn't care which.
>>108404947laptop does not fall all the way to floor usually connector end side first?
>>108405756Reported to the FBI
>>108404947I once returned to the office only to find out my laptop got stolen even though I had locked it with one of those shit>pic related
>>108404947Where the fuck are you working that warrants locking your work laptop? In the middle of the street in Detroit?

>>108412889Get off 4chan, jam boy. Just because you use laptops and Kensington (tm) locks doesn’t make you a valid human user of technology.
>>108405009>>108412827I can't imagine what kind of absolute failed society must one be living in for a latpot being stolen at your fucking workplace to be a real concern. Holy shit things are bad out there.
>>108412889>>108413134I live in France, I still don't know who stole it because to enter the building you need a card then to get on x floor you need access to it (multiple companies in the same building)It was a white majority workplace too, 90% if not more were white (and boomers mostly)It was my first "job" (apprenticeship) and happened 2 months after I joined, quite an experience
