He has taken "presenting to millennial's, 101"
Maybe it would help use maturial's. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Something along that line anyway. What quickly became obvious to me is that they intentionally had an older guy present this stuff as the "younger guy thing" clearly isn't working out these days, in light of recent Facebook history.
IMO, of course...

After some recent comments regarding that by default we don't have auto screen lockout after a few minutes, I thought to post (rant) on here for others inputs.
For me when I can spend often times writing things and sketching out on paper while looking at what is on the screen. Having to move the mouse every few minutes to not have the screens switch off or account lock would be most infuriating.
I know i need to (try better) make sure lock computer when i do leave my desk. Maybe at 80% of doing that now.
If you were in a secure room requiring specific door access, how much would locking the computer needs really be?
Any one use camera presence detection, that I can see as a very helpful thing.

"This much". It would still be required; those two locks protect different things.
There's always the occasional cleaner or repairman coming into the room, tempworkers or even 'consultants'. The keyboard lock prevents unauthorized people from abusing your account or planting malware in your absence.

A camera is not a form of protection, but detection. Also just an overcomplicated form of a door-lock that is already in place.
I assume you would confront any unknown face and ask who he/she is and what they're doing there?

the camera thing i was more thinking that when you leave, instead of simply waiting x minutes, that it can just lock streight away.
Or even better, mixed with those privacy screen peices, that if someone walks up behind you it could dim, warn or even black out the screen until user keys something that. This the opposite swing over increase security.

Brilliant. Next the screen dims as soon as you do some pair-programming.
Overcomplicating stuff makes the environment less secure. People will disable your security just to get work done.
What you are doing is rarely so extremely top-secret that you cannot trust the people in the room to copy your code from looking at the screen. If it is, you need something more than your fancy idea, like the extreme thing known as a "private office".

I found a program that detects a Bluetooth connection and locks the screen if it's not connected - If I walk away from my computer (with my phone in my pocket) the screen locks after a short delay.

Care to share a link ? Does it log you in automatically if you come back (or someone stole your phone ?) ?

It's nice that the camera shows me who stole my IP, but when it shows up in someone else's product I can figure it out that way too.

When I first started where I am now, the general rule was that if you see a colleague's laptop unlocked you are authorized to send a lunch invitation to everyone on the team via his e-mail and he would have to pay.

One place I worked at (about 15 years ago) introduced a (physical) clear-desk rule (overnight only); but also a rule that leaving your computer unlocked was a sackable offence! After that it was certainly rare to see an unattended, unlocked machine but offences were rarely (never?) reported to management. Management never saw any since they were too terrified of committing the offence themselves they never moved!

That's the problem with long ones - too many "bits", so it's fairly easy to fill in the gaps.

as a family photographer..
I love taking "candid" photography. I don't know why it's called "candid". I would just prefer to call it natural-shots.
I usually do the photographer job @ our family events.
But the kids these days get so offended by the natural snaps I taken about them, on the move, unprepared for a pose. They are SO obsessed with beauty. The teen girls & even BOYS. So much concerned about their appearance. The moment they take a snap on their phone(After it passes all their criteria), it's there on their Facebook or as their WhatsApp or someapp profile photo. Is this not madness?
One teen was so arrogant in calling me out as a "crooked photorgrapher" in public, as I had captured her with a great smile, showing off her teeth. A natural smile, obviously looked beautiful to me. It DOES look beautiful, that's the fact. But she was so mad calling that as a disgrace for her beauty. I went on check, what she's calling as beautiful. I checked her Facebook page, there were a million kitten-lipped tight smile without exposing any of the teeth. It was so awkward to see someone looking ditto in hundreds of photographs. The same angle, the pose, the same smile with those heaped up lips.
How fake this can get! That one pose what she believed to be beautiful is what she was all looking for , from a photographer. Another boy screemed as his hair style was off , and I didnt bother to call him to correct it before taking a snap. I think I'm never going to focus on any teens.
(12 to 25) is extremely beauty obsessed. And there was one married girl 30+, she was mad that I captured her boundaries. She came to me and taught me how I need to capture. i.e to capture at the centre of her body, so zoomed in, that viewers don't get an idea where her body begins and ends. & they should assume she is slim. How great!
Good luck. I'm resigning as a family photographer.
