I’m sure you love your laptop. It connects you to your digital life wherever you are. What’s better than sitting in a coffee shop and getting work done? Nothing, I say. But do you know who else loves your computer? Thieves.
To a thief, your laptop is a shiny, portable payday. You might get up for your tenth cup of coffee. And when you turn around, your laptop is gone. It can happen that fast. Shouldn’t there be some kind of warning system?
LAlarm is like a car alarm for your laptop. It’s pretty easy to use. When you get up for that coffee, lock your computer. Just press Windows Key + L. If your power adapter is unplugged, an alarm sounds at full volume. It can’t be turned off without logging back in.
Now, not everyone plugs in their laptop everywhere they go. You can also use a thumb drive as the trigger. If it’s removed while the laptop is locked, the alarm sounds. Of course, a thief could take the laptop and thumb drive. You’ll have to attach the drive to something else. Go here for instructions.
