the one annoying thing about my new laptop is that my keyboard only works when you plug it into a USB port, and not when you accidentally jam it into an ethernet port

@foone have you tried plugging a usb-c hub into the Kensington lock port?

@foone Hummm - this piques my curiosity whether anybody has made a keyboard that actually connects to the ethernet port. The kbd would need to run a full tcp stack and the computer would need a driver to support that setup, but if there was a proper "keyboard over ip" setup, your keyboard could be anywhere in the world and still work with your computer...

@foone @RueNahcMohr It might be possible by somehow using DDC/I²C 🙂

@foone Hey, it's USB, you have to turn it around.Yes, I've tried several times to connect USB devices in the ethernet port. Fits perfectly.

@foone USB was a mistake, just as PS/2. We should be using DIN and DB9 plugs to this day!

@foone You only need keys 0-9, A-F and Send, and then you can type in the packets directly.

@foone I use p touch labels to mark where the ports are, both on the lid and inside the laptop, so I can plug stuff on without leaning to the side. Trim with scissors to the port width for easy identification

@foone Come to think of it, it's kind of odd that there doesn't seem to already be a standard for HID over IP. Given that's already an established standard over USB, Bluetooth, i2c, and SPI.

@foone relatedly, but somewhat reversed, it was not ideal when I tried unplugging an ethernet cable by just pulling harder, because I couldn't see what I was doing, and thought it was an unusually stuck USB cable.Thankfully I realised before any damage was done, but I wasn't thrilled to have that close call (though it is kinda fascinating that I ran into a specific set of conditions conducive to mixing up USB and RJ45 by feel in the first place).

@foone When can we expect a modem keyboard? And does it have a rotary dial instead of a numpad?

@foone@digipres.club i think something is wrong with my brain because my immediate thought was "ok but have you considered IPX"(writing an embedded IPX networking stack is left as an exercise for the user since i haven't got around to it. yet.)

@foone Given that I have a cursèd cable that is USB-A on one side and simultaneously micro-USB and Lightning on the other (no, not a Cerberus-style multi-head: somebody intersected a micro-USB and an 8-pin in CAD and thought “that’ll do, ship it”), why not both (simultaneously)?
