Nice going, Kensington — you just admitted to the world something we already knew. No one actually uses the lock slot / cable that’s issued to them on their first day on the job. It’s painful to envision the cash this company has made from mindless corporations who somehow think that employees are going to tie their laptops up each and every day, but now it has an alternative that it swears “your employees will actually use.” The new ClickSafe system essentially works as such: you insert a small locking nub into the lock slot that ships on (almost) every new laptop today, and then you clip the new locking cable on by hand. Once you’ve completed the first step, the cable connection is a simple motion each morning — in theory, at least. Peek the installation vid after the break if you’re still having your doubts, and feel free to blow $49.99 / $69.99 (depending on model) if you just know that this time it’ll be different.

Kotoro “dotimpact” Tanaka, a Japanese design professor, has been credited with designing what may actually be the world’s smallest game of Pac-Man .
