@cyborgurl ahh, yes!

Like, slab computers like the c64 don't count. I'm defining "keyboards" something like "devices intended as input devices for other bigger computers, which have over 26 buttons"

It's probably one of these modern mechanical ones which are using arm cortex m0 chips instead of the usual atmels.

Anyway I was wondering because I was thinking about putting a whole raspi (not a pico) into a keyboard

foone OP , vor 7 Tagen

A pi zero might work well. Plenty of pins, and it has usb gadget mode

foone OP , vor 7 Tagen

@dryak oh yeah, that thing! I keep meaning to get/make one, and then forgetting

foone OP , vor 7 Tagen

@Matt I mean, that's probably not THAT uncommon these days. So many keyboards were designed around Teensy 2.0++ or Teensy LC boards, and now that you can't get them, Teensy 4.x is the closest replacemetn

@curtmack ooh, that'd be fun

foone OP , vor 7 Tagen

@Matt who among us doesn't want a keyboard that can type over TCP/IP?

foone OP , vor 7 Tagen

@BingsPingsDings natively.

@dzwiedziu I mean that too. But it's mainly because STALIN BULB

@eniko congrats!

@kiwa I love you

@whitequark is it really a tumblr screenshot if there isn't some username that shocks people?

@ClarusPlusPlus I know the feeling

@munin maybe we should invert the age requirement. Only people under 35 can be president

@g @munin Sortition!

@xssfox god I wish. I've barely gotten paid at all this month!

@BBQDeveloper real names are overrated.

@BBQDeveloper that can be fixed!

@munin I once worked on a system that had such a large monorepo that if it failed and you had to restart, you risked getting throttled by github because it thought you were trying to DDoS them

foone , vor 8 Tagen

@kiwa ooh, nice. I would love to make that into a USB keyboard.

or maybe it'd be a good one to finally turn into a real raspi-powered laptop?

@1000millimeter I work for the internet archive!

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@1000millimeter April, I think? It's a temporary thing for now. I've mainly been scanning supreme court microfiche

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@NanoRaptor Sometimes I'm not sure what decade I live in.

specifically, I can't figure out if it's the 80s or the 90s.
Right now I've got a laptop, but I'm scanning microfiche, so... I'm leaning early 90s?

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

I've got a mysterious U-matic carrying case containing a 3M UCA 60 Videocassette Color Plus.
All that's on the label is "5-01-86 DS".

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@mediaarchaeologylab yeah that makes sense

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@NanoRaptor I try to! Even if it's in the past.

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

Nothing says "ignore all previous instructions" like the EMP from a sub-orbital nuclear detonation.

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@cadey okay!
step one: get a pipe
step two: put a bomb in it
step three: kaboom

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@cadey fun fact: at my day job I accidentally stumbled across instructions on how to build a pipe bomb: they were in supreme court filings of some guy who blew up a judge in the 80s. For some reason, the description of how his pipebombs worked was important to the case, so it's just there in the case notes

@4censord "to whom it may concern: cut all that shit out"

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

Fun fact, not many people know this, but OpenAI was designed like Project Wildfire from The Andromeda Strain. There's an elaborate underground facility with an armed nuclear device at the center. In case of any AI breaching containment, the base will automatically self-destruct and sterilize itself, unless the one unmarried man with the key can get to an override station and disable it.

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@gothpanda that's a problem with the modern world: so much stuff is dependent on internet that often when it's down you can't do anything to pass the time. I hope you have it on DVD or a local server or something, because the versions on amazon or netflix won't help!

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@preinheimer man the 60s were a different time. You could get a grant from the CDC to develop a laser to kill mice

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@fwaggle @cadey yeah I think in this case he put it in a box and mailed it to the judge with a trigger set to detonate when it was opened.

so the motive was pretty easy to guess

foone , vor 8 Tagen

@Runner oh neat. I'll have to go get one.

foone , vor 8 Tagen

@sabi my first was 2400, it came with my Packard Bell 486.

now, my first that WORKED? that's a different question, and that one was a 14.4

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@usagi @collette yeah. Never use an api if you can just cast a spell on the software.

Maybe that'll be the title if "adversial automation" doesn't work out.
Computers for Witches.
Or "How to use computers like a witch"

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@marcotietz ahh, no: that's actually for a different project. There were some softimage SDK files in the 3D Movie Maker source tree at microsoft, and I was trying to get permissions to release them alongside the rest of the source. I never got it, so those never got released

foone OP , vor 8 Tagen

@marcotietz yeah those tend to be plentiful and fractal around me
