A four-hour system interruption in September at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri has been attributed to a cat jumping on a technician’s keyboard.

Many of your points are good, but 4 is pretty weak. I have left my personal laptop for 20 minutes to come back and find that the cat has put me into airplane mode, opened a hexadecimal calculator I didn’t know I had, written a complain to Microsoft that only didn’t send because of airplane mode (error popup and all), opened my family recipes, edited my family recipes to include actual text-symbol emojis among other garbage, and recorded the whole thing as a… Gamer Clip???
She does this routinely.
I disable my work laptop keyboard before I even LOOK away from it, I don’t want to find out how much damage she could push to production.
FILTHY PRANK
YOU JUST GOT, PRANKED BRO HAHA
I know! That was the most disrespectful part!!
Cats are the masters of the obscure keyboard shortcuts.
It says the technician was reviewing a config. I can only assume that means actively reviewing it. The cat shouldn’t have had 20 minutes to screw around. With 20 minutes I get it, but not what should have only been a few seconds.
If he left his desk, he should lock his workstation or disconnect the keyboard, like you mentioned, as I’m sure this isn’t the first time the cat went for the keyboard.
