We could get a few of those steel security cables to tie down laptops.
How about we have a few standing desk spots in La Commune, with a security
cable long enough for a wheelchair user to put the laptop on their lap?
That should somewhat discourage long-term use by people who don't need it.
Of course, actually putting a laptop on your lap is not ideal in terms of
ergonomics. Maybe we could build a small fold-down desk attached to the
wall, and then paint a blue wheelchair symbol on the floor ?
