The biggest scam in the world is laptop locking cables.
Hear me out. This basic piece of shit is $50 retail, minimum, and goes beyond $100+ for combinations.
Personal consumers don't use them so they don't give a fuck. Corporations require them so there's guaranteed demand. And they're priced just below the threshold where corporate buyers will give enough of a shit to RFP and comparison shop alternatives.
For reasons not explicable by anything but a scam, you periodically have to replace the locks, because the locking dimensions changed over time, where all my old locks (amongst the many ive lost) no longer fit my newer laptops. Like, really, these things can be snipped with gradeschool scissors but suddenly we need to evolve the standards? This isn't an HDMI port.
Anyway, Kensington is probably printing mega cash with this scheme. They're part of a larger conglomerate who don't expose that specific brand's margins but I bet it's fucking banging.
