    I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn’t locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.

      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.

          I used to set default webpages on display models in stores to direct competitors sites.
