when I finally build my Workbench Keyboard, one of the weirder options I'm going to add is a way to paste pre-loaded text files from the onboard storage.

like you could have texts\serials\windows\win10.txt and you navigate to the that file and hit paste and it just types out the FCKGW- nonsense for you

@foone So basically a virtual paper tape reader (and punch, I presume)?

@foone Why not print them out as barcodes and use a barcode-reader (one of those keyboard emulating ones) to just beep them in?

@foone I tried loading the Navy Seals copypasta as a macro when testing out some custom firmware. It worked, but it lagged the system for like 20 seconds to type the whole thing out one emulated keystroke at a time. A 25 character license key is viable though.

@foone
I keep itching to create a keyboard macro containing my passphrase or my credit card number, and it is getting harder and harder to ignore that itch, even when I know that's an absolutely terrible idea.

@foone Barcode scanners in "keyboard wedge" or HID mode are perfect for that, i've been abusing that option for years.

@foone USB keyboard that also shows up as a data storage device so you can put a config file with that sort of thing in it, then a 1-line display on the keyboard so you can navigate and dump?

@foone@digipres.club avatar

@acsawdey basically yeah

@foone Dang. I need to do this for some troublesome passwords. I feel a QMK patch coming on.

NO THIS ISN'T JUST BITTERNESS ABOUT HAVING TO INSTALL WINDOWS 10 TWICE THIS WEEK

@foone@digipres.club avatar

it would have been really handy back when I worked at that pc repair shop.
I had to memorize the win98 and XP volume license keys we used

@foone for a long time I had both the Win95b and Win98 OEM keys memorised. All I can remember now is the Win95 one started with 13095 and a bunch of zeros

@foone I still have the FCKGW key memorised.

@foone Okay I'm not an expert but wouldn't it be faster and easier to install Windows 20 once?
