Show HN: My Weekend Hack – WatchDog, look over your laptop while you're away

• zaytoun 10y ago
  Hey HN, I built this last weekend when I found myself in a cafe with no one to look over my laptop. On the client side, it monitors your camera (if you have one) and internet connection and texts you if there's any suspicious activity. Would love any feedback!

  Interesting idea -- seems there is something in the "ether," as a LinkedIn connection just started posted her new company here: http://www.mystilla.com http://www.mystilla.com They use BLE devices with motion sensors which attack the same use case. I like your idea better because it uses the built-in hardware just for laptops. Not sure about what @betafish posted tho.
