Alternative idea with Bluetooth dongle.

[leoheck]

I got an alternative idea. Instead of a USB device that breaks, what if a USB-Bluetooth dongle is used instead?

For instance, the user configures the app to check if the smartphone is in the defined range, otherwise it blocks the computer.

@leoheck bluetooth-based solutions are numerous, but they're less secure and more faulty.
