BusKill is an open source laptop kill cord that can trigger your computer to lock or shutdown when it's physically separated from you
BusKill can trigger your laptop to lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if it’s physically separated from you.
It's actually been around for a few years, but this was the first time it popped up in my feed.
BusKill can provide travellers peace-of-mind when logged into their bank account or social media from a café in Paris. BusKill can keep a journalist's documents and their sources safe if they’re targeted by the political police.
It is probably also useful for activists, businesses, military, and intelligence operatives.
The intention to use a physical cable was a deliberate one, as otherwise Bluetooth or other wireless triggers could be thwarted.
It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and even QubesOS.
