Got a used business laptop and found a recessed dongle in it. The original owner says they have no clue, that it’s been in there since they got it. There’s no way a dongle is keeping this thing running, is there? I’ve already swapped the OS, if that matters at all

Update: yubikey! Thank you all for the information, I’m definitely still learning

    Do you know if this functionality can be turned off? I’ve been stung by the ‘gibberish’ once or twice but never enough to dive into the docs for it :)
