Locked computer
I guess I’m lucky that a) nobody ever gets close to my computer, since I work from home, and b) that I managed to surround myself with polite people who would never think of touching my computer without asking.
I remember that, in the old days, when computer were just becoming popular, it was more common to just go on somebody else’s computer and do whatever with it. I vividly remember self-appointed computer experts changing system settings or installing software on other people’s computer without asking. Nowadays I think that’s almost unthinkable. Same goes for smartphones. Only one person ever took my mobile phone out of my hands without asking, to play with the settings. What can I say, I’m not a confrontational person, and we were just talking about phone settings, so I just let him have at it, but still, it was a bit of an awkward situation.
Oh.
Oh man.
I can’t wait to post this on a certain flightsim forum. Oh, the flamewar will be sooo entertaining. “Not just *some* flight sim. It was X Plane 10!”
Oh my god, that’s just flamebait gold 😀
Feels so good to see X-Plane in the front rank of flight sims now. I have been using it since version 5 or 6 and I always was laughed at from fellow simmers because of the rather simple graphics back then. Well, X-Plane has come a long way since… 🙂
As for Julio´s original problems: There are some USB dongles that make your computer effectively non- accessible if you don´t authorize yourself with them.
Speedsix: Now you can laugh at the people who still use FSX!
