I have it set to light up for a time when keys are pressed but that would seemingly fall far outside its authorized mandate

Swear to god: was just getting up off the couch and it lit up, illuminated as blazes! 💀

    Probably something similar to a nest thermostat that “wakes up” when you walk near it

      They should probably clarify its motion rather than press. Its almost like they’ve laid down all the wiring to also physically spy on you. (the die) it seems is cast, how the turnstable

        If it is lenovo they have a motion sensing / face recognition application that can be set to wake the screen / keyboard etc. Maybe its something like that. Otherwise, it can be vibration of walking near it jiggling the mouse, and the mouse movement does the waking.

          I dunno, my hot take is pretty compelling. Sometimes it pays to be cynical

            I uninstalled it all on mine, my system should not be recording always to check for my face. I think it was the elliptic package or something. It also could check other faces so if somebody walks up behind you it blurs your screen. Might be useful for ITAR / controlled goods stuff but I don’t want that AI bullshit on mine.
