However it's a quite locked-down thing where even the wallpaper is reset on a reboot. The worst part is that it has a rather short time until the screen gets locked on idle. Going away for 5 minutes, like going to the bathroom or getting a snack, is enough for the screen lock to trigger. I have to dig up my Arduino Leonardo to emulate a mouse and make it wiggle from time to time or enter a not common keyboard button like any F-button above 12, which won't affect any regular application."}
