She should have used tool like AutoHotkey. In no more then 5 lines of code you can move mouse if it wasn't moved in last N minutes. There is no equivalent on nix systems but one can use similar but way more limited tools like xdotool, sikuli etc. for the same effect.

I used this about a decade ago, not sure it's still maintained. Recent commits imply it is, but I don't know how valuable they are https://github.com/autokey/autokey https://github.com/autokey/autokey

  Not only its still maintained but v2 is incoming after 10 years of active development. AHK is probably stronger then ever and totally beat up all other Windows tools like AutoIt etc.

    Ah apologies, didn't mean AHK so much in my reply - but rather, a similarly named imitator for Linux (no 'hot') :D

If they've control over your setup, then they can prove that you've been faking your activity, meanwhile with hardware it'd be harder cuz they'd have to analyse your mouse (x,y)s

  They can't control your setup 100% because its making you 0 effective. Its well known thing that when big company gives you laptop it installs all kind of vpn, encryption, monitor, av, or any other surveillance tools to make it "secure" but what it does really is making you extremely slow and your brand new machine behave like it is 20 years old. > meanwhile with hardware it'd be harder cuz they'd have to analyse your mouse U really think that random company has resources to check fakiness of mouse movements ? Besides, you can bring entire thing in the sandbox that leave 0 traces on local machine after it is turned off.

This is detectable easily in work spyware. Physical Mouse movers mostly aren’t detected by work spyware. Yet.

  Its also detectable, don't be naive - I can record your desktop to see that its a bot movement not a human one easily, even more easier then having an obscure tool that I can reimplement within hour for a given job (and hence its just random script, for example in PowerShell which is not something you can't have on Windows). AHK can even simulate human making it almost impossible to detect a bot (switching windows, focusing elements, moving mouse to focus whatever etc.)
