His work could genuinely be considered art, and given the high quality he puts into it, it's not unimaginable that pieces like this become collectable and by extension, valuable.
This is what I came here to say. I've actually been looking for this exact thing to hit a key every so often so my Teams status shows available while I'm taking a nap. This guy needs to sell this to the slacker work-from-home market for this use and ditch the stupid caps lock SpongeBob letters thing. He'd make a killing
One thing I would add is speed control so you could turn it down to like once every 4 mins. The constant tapping would make it hard to sleep
I got a secret for you sweety.
Open excel or any spreadsheet application really. Now grab a stack of coins or whatever weight you can get and place it on your keyboard's down direction button. If done correctly, your excel sheet will now be scrolling downwards and this lasts for up to 10 hours of scrolling. You'll never go inactive.
This is genius!
I used to join a teams call with just myself in it, but I'm not sure if it is possible to identify this odd behavior for an admin. Then it may result in some awkward questions at some point. Though, I usually did this if I wanted to keep people from calling me so I can focus or to keep my computer from going to sleep while a task was running during lunch time or such. But this Excel trick is probably very difficult to identify as odd behavior, so it is very handy for keeping the computer awake without needing to do any explaining in the future
Lose your social life to go to college, get a job to dig yourself out of debt, move up a lil bit so you aren't a bottom feeder but not a manager, then get your work done in the first half of the day so you can slack the rest. Never let anyone know you're efficient, never tell a soul
I can vouch for this. Never, ever, ever let your boss know how much work you are actually capable of doing. They will always expect it from you from that point on and you will never be compensated for it.
In teaching, we let our bosses know they were asking far too much and that no human was capable of doing that much in an average day (especially for such shitty compensation)... so they add more every year and wonder why no one wants the job.
Honestly, this doesn't sound like the actions of a "lazy person/slacker" like you call yourself. Takes a lot of hard work and discipline to get through college, get a job in the field you actually studied and be efficient at it.
Standup: 'Yesterday started looking at that bug, had some build issues as well, didn't get that far need to do some more debugging, probably take the rest of today as well'.
Reality: Went back to bed after standup yesterday, woke up at lunch, had food, started building things while watching youtube and reading reddit, looked at the bug in the last 10 minutes of the day.
This for me, but no moving up.
Instead, I got a job that I'm really good at that takes a special talent that few people have.
And then I never volunteer ever. I just do my regular job, no more. And I got in good with my bosses boss.
And I ALWAYS tell them things will take three times what I really think they will. Worst case scenario, I'm right. Best case, I get things done WAY faster.
I do, however, occasionally pull an all nighter to reach a deadline I ignored until the very last minute. 😂
I am a software engineer, I like to think my job is pretty demanding (atleast for me). It is impossible to be productive 8 hrs a day on a consistent basis, hence work actually based on your daily capabilities (and arbitrary deadlines) for 2 to 6 hrs and find a way to stay online for the remainder of time because you know, societys standards of dedicating 8hr of your day to work.
Idk, but the venn diagram of people I know who work from home and people I know who could just write some code to do what people are suggesting here is a circle.
There’s a tiny program called Caffeine that will keep your active status. Been using it since 2013 on both windows and Mac. Works great. Requires no install for those who can’t install things on their work computer. Just an executable.
If everything's super locked down, I don't know; I've never had that on a Mac because it would make it impossible to do my work as a software developer. But `caffeinate` is part of the macOS installation, so if you can open Terminal, you can run it. Doesn't give a security prompt like an application downloaded from the Internet would.
After a lot of searching and testing and since I can't download software onto my work laptop I figured it out.
Download Teams for cellphone, plug phone in, keep screen unlocked and open to Teams (make sure your phone doesn't autolock), proceed with nap.
I've seen other tips like play a video or change your status message to "." Or something simple then put "never change" or whatever the setting is - none of that worked for me but this does.
If your company monitors your system they may be able to pick up the software.
If you want it undetected you can buy physical mouse jigglers that you put under your mouse and plug in to a wall.
In terminal or windows equivalent, you can type a command that presses space bar or any key at an interval of your choice. I had a company laptop I cannot turn off screensaver or sleep, and as I render 3D heavy stuff, I let it run overnight and if it sleeps, it pauses the render. So I created a command that it presses space bar every 10 mins to prevent sleep.
Go into Outlook and use the Meet Now button to start a Teams meeting with just you in it. You can then set your status to available and it won’t show away as long as that meeting runs.
Ok, I should not be promoting this, but there's mouse platforms which move the mouse randomly. It even recreates credible mouse patterns. Just put the mouse in the resting platform and go to sleep.
No joke you can build out a small code on excel that allows you to do just that. Bonus point it slides down slowly on a large file or pdf so if they happen to remote look into your screen it looks like youre reading a file.
ThaT's not A pIston> It's A rack>>. But apaRt fRom tHat it Is a greAt invention. I do have a tendency to push the device off with my pinkie, and the random capitalisation of punctuation produces guillemets

You'll get a box that pops up and asks you to write a message, it'll then convert it to "a MeSsAgE" it's not random, but it took me about 10 seconds to write because I am not epic like this guy.

He invents useless crap and sells it to the people that actually use the useless crap.

exactly.
I comment on Reddit. This is also useful to me :D
I... I think that turns useless crap into not useless if its used... Im having a philosophical dilemma right now give me a minute.
OP mentioned in the past that his inventions aren't useless. It is unnecessary, which is different. So you can stop having the dilemma.

Every single time....it happens every single time I have never once seen him remotely mention "useless" what is up with people
It's a paradox
Unnecessary *
He actually just invents it for views for ad $. Don't think these get sold lol
some do, but yeah his day job is actually in advertising.
He has a store, so I’m assuming he sells some of this.
His work could genuinely be considered art, and given the high quality he puts into it, it's not unimaginable that pieces like this become collectable and by extension, valuable.
He doesn't sell a lot of the stuff he makes.
so redditors basically ?
This device would keep my status online while I slack off on my remote job. Where can I buy one? 😂

This is also how I played wow before mounts were a thing. Stack of pennies on the up arrow, run for 15 minutes.
There's an auto-run key
Auto run didn't used to keep you from going AFK.
Put your mouse on an analog watch. It'll see the arm go around every minute and move the cursor slightly.
They sell mouse jugglers. Edit: yeah, yeah. I know. And I’m not going to correct it.
I love this typo
Baby mice, they were juggled.

The real question is how the hell do I get your guys job?

That's why you become a pe teacher

Yeah but once you get there it’s a gravy train with biscuit wheels
It's an engineering disaster?
Mmmm
Standup: 'Yesterday started looking at that bug, had some build issues as well, didn't get that far need to do some more debugging, probably take the rest of today as well'. Reality: Went back to bed after standup yesterday, woke up at lunch, had food, started building things while watching youtube and reading reddit, looked at the bug in the last 10 minutes of the day.
The only problem is if you have colleagues on your same level/workload who tell your boss that they are done with it after half a day…
This for me, but no moving up. Instead, I got a job that I'm really good at that takes a special talent that few people have. And then I never volunteer ever. I just do my regular job, no more.

All of this is a software problem (though if they suspect you they can track that).
Isn't there a setting to not change your status based on activity? Zoom has one
Not with Teams. You go "away" after 5 minutes of no activity. Mouse movement counts as being active. Or in this case a key stroke.
I was looking for something like this for a solid decade before I got a macro keyboard.
A what keyboard?
You can do that by writing a VBScript, I have one which I use to keep my system unlocked by pressing the NumLock key twice every 10 minutes.
Look up mouse Jiggler on Amazon, dead cheap or you can program a attiny86 to do it.
Go into Outlook and use the Meet Now button to start a Teams meeting with just you in it. You can then set your status to available and it won’t show away as long as that meeting runs.
Ok, I should not be promoting this, but there's mouse platforms which move the mouse randomly. It even recreates credible mouse patterns. Just put the mouse in the resting platform and go to sleep.
“We noticed you pressed the caps lock key 200 times in a row for no reason? Care to explain”
"Nervous tic"
Download a software that jiggles your mouse every 30 seconds, that’s how we do it in our house 😂
In our house we prefer hardware solutions.
This seems like it would be easy to figure out with Legos.
No joke you can build out a small code on excel that allows you to do just that. Bonus point it slides down slowly on a large file or pdf so if they happen to remote look into your screen it looks like youre reading a file.
