Stopped by the Best Buy in Sacramento and the AI demo laptop had a sticky note with someone's junk email on it
I was killing time at the Best Buy on Arden Way in Sacramento on Saturday and wandered over to the laptop aisle where they had one of those new AI laptops set up on a demo stand. The screen had a sticky note on it with an email address and password written in pen, like the demo unit had been logged into some rep's personal account and nobody wiped it. I poked at it for a minute and it was still signed into that account, with chat history and a few docs synced to the cloud. This is a demo machine that hundreds of strangers have touched, and every one of them could have clicked into that stuff. If you're out shopping for an AI laptop this season, hit the sign out button yourself before you test anything, because the store clearly won't. Anyone else seen demo units left logged in like this?

Sounds like typical Best Buy laziness more than some huge security disaster. Some sales rep probably just logged in to show off the AI features and forgot to sign out, happens all the time. Yeah it's sloppy but who's really gonna dig through some random rep's email at a store demo?
