        I am a menace around unlocked computers. Was at a job and found a colleague who left his computer unlocked and had customer information open in a co working space on his screen. Set his computer language to hebrew before locking it.

        Another time in college I found an unlocked computer in a library. Set their profile picture to Chris Chan with an overlay image saying “#ThisIsMyAuthenticSelf #Unafraid”. On this system, the user was not likely to see their own picture, but other people they contact will.
