This is timely. Out of my five cats, my primary boy has been really needy or making a game out of hop on table, walk on keyboards, get picked up, scritched and tossed down. Repeat. Even cat tv on youtube hasn't been helping.
> When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer.
And they might turn you into the Freakazoid
Unfortunately the program can be bypassed by typing “human”
Ultimately all this does is incentivize cats to type more accurately when inputting malicious commands
It’s being used to train CatGPT.
> Except when playing a sound (when a cat is detected) PawSense occupies less than 120K of RAM.
Maybe add a 1999 or 2000 datestamp to this (it won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners... Ig Nobel prize in Computer Science in 2000...)
I give it One Star: It keeps locking me out of my computer whenever I rage at video games, which makes me rage further.
How good! Just need the cat to try it.
Aluminium foil on flat surfaces works very well.
After the cat has been trained to avoid the shelf or desk, you can remove the foil.
