normally there's a button that lets it display you as "always active" so i hit that and go back to bed

but occasionally there are days where the button just flat out doesnt work and it displays me as idle

so i have to constantly check back or move the mouse a bit

so annoying, why cant it just work and let me slack off?

There is probably corporate spyware you don't know exists that is tracking you anyways.

Does anyone pay attention to that? I see a lot of red dots on people right now but I don't think anything of it.

IT has no control over that, it would be a MS teams issue

teams is the newest version, for the microsoft suite programs we use 365 (which is something entirely different)

but i work for the gov, of course they are cheap af, they pinch the taxpayer money like crazy (except for when it comes to workers salary/benefits)

they dont pay for our water or plastic utensils in the office

For what? Using programs to track your productivity is not illegal.

Fyi, many office buildings have motion sensors that detect when employees come in.

Teams is the skype replacement and the MS version of zoom.

365 is outlook, excel etc.

No, teams is part of 365
teams can be used by a generic MS account but for anything from business you'd need proper security although given who made the topic, we might as well claim TC uses Google Teams + Discord

Oh, that is different. Should be no spyware then. They shouldn't even have admin rights to install it.

Teams does not allow you to change the idle timer or turn it off. I hate it.

If you have your calendar and stuff connected to your teams then it auto sets you to red/yellow when you get to that event. Aka it wont let you keep a status set.

If its not hooked up you can get and your phone to set it to green which should keep it that way till you change it. For some reason my phone keeps it locked green but my desktop doesnt.

If you were truly a good engineer you'd engineer a way to move your mouse without you there.

It's a test. You failed it.

the method is to put your mouse on top of a watch, so the seconds hand moving is detected by the mouse. but my watches cost $6,000 so i dont want to risk scratching the crystal
