@hacks4pancakes I think it depends on what the data is used for, personally. (And tbh, I’m curious as to exactly what they are measuring). If this is a reliable way to detect someone using a laptop using an IP KVM, given their established attractiveness as a target, they’d be negligent NOT to do it.

However, if they then ALSO use that data to penalise regular workers, and nano-manage them to that extent (which doesn’t seem to be beyond them, given stories from warehouses, etc), then absolutely, terrible practices.

From a technical perspective, what exactly are they meaning by keyboard latency, I wonder? How can they possibly measure time between a physical key being pressed in NK, and it being received on the laptop in the US? If the person is typing fluently, there may be an initial delay (still not measurable, imo), and then the keystrokes should arrive with an approximation of the user’s inter-stroke timing, although things like batching of keystrokes into a single packet might be detectable, I guess.

@RoganDawes @hacks4pancakes

Yeah, and 110ms is maybe half the latency I'd expect from a trans Pacific connection anyway. So how are they figuring this? What latency are we talking about here?
