How is that better than epoxy squirted into all unused ports of your existing computers while also distributing fast charging USB wall warts across the office like confetti? Even the good ones are relatively cheap, especially if bought in bulk. Relative to the cost of a desktop computer they're practically free.
(I'm genuinely surprised that the standard DELL and HP corporate workstation doesn't have its front USB ports deleted and its rear port access covered by a lockable metal cowl.)

- clort 8y agoI noticed that with my mobile wifi (Huawei) which I generally leave plugged in, when my friend plugged in her Windows 10 tablet to the same power outlet (2 sockets), it suddenly noticed it as a new USB device. I don't ever plug anything in there except a charger for my bike light so had never noticed but I don't know if it has an autorun to install drivers they often do. Obviously the data wires are joined there..

- cesarb 8y agoAt least on Dell, USB ports can be disabled in the BIOS (with separate options for front and rear ports). Disclaimer: I haven't tried to do it so I don't know if it actually works.
