Pah - my work laptop does face recognition. Even manages to spot me through a beard. Doesn't spot anyone else, regardless of whether they have a beard. It's great. Except for the guy who sits across from me, who somehow managed to train it to recognise the fire extinguisher behind him.

I want something that will lock and unlock via bluetooth. I've always got my phone on me at work, so if I go away from the laptop it should lose the bluetooth connection to the phone, which should cause it to lock. As and when I come back, the connection would be reestablished, and should in turn unlock the laptop.

 

Of course, that would probably also mean that my phone dies partway through the day due to lack of battery, but one problem at a time!

But you'll always have your fingers. Hopefully.

I remember that being doable years ago with either a Nokia or a Sony Ericsson T610, but I can't remember how. Some of the standard software it came with I think.

I'm not sure how to! :$

 

(it's windows 7, and too much has changed)

Start Menu, type "power" and pick, I think, power options. I think you should be able to take it from there. You can change the behaviour of closing the lid on battery or AC power.

Cheers, Ant, found it!

 

Now to see if it gets set back to defaults on reboot!

HTH.

In spy/gangster movies, they cut off your finger and apply it to the scanner. I suppose it's not so bad if they kill you first.
