Pi 400 as a keyboard

Nospam,

By whom ? Not by you, that much is sure.

But, feel to quote where above that happened. Ofcourse, you won't. Why ? Because, nonwithstanding your relentless claiming, you never did.

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

But, if you think so you only have to prove, underbuild or even just explain why none of the ones I mentioned will work - which you never will. You simply do not have that kind of knowledge.

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

Besides, looking at how the OP responded I get the feeling he understood just fine.

That you still have to prove, or at least underbuild.

And neither is it when someone is wrong. A discussion would be helpfull. What you are trying to do isn't.

Funny, I think the OP did thank me.

:-) I think you're alone in that.

How would you know ? Its not a point you have reached yourself yet. In fact, looking at the hollow claims you keep posting, you're not even anywhere near to it.

Funny how even the first line of your quoted tells you not once but *twice* that its "dry". The word "wet" doesn't appear /anywhere/ in that same article.

IOW, you have linked to something that doesn't support your claim /at all/. Are you *that* stupid, or is it just your "comprehensive reading" skill that went on the fritz again ?

So, you confess that you actually purposely ignored it, just so you could make nother accusation. Thanks for confirming that. :-)

:-) Did I say I knew that ? I don't think so. Its just you trying to "move the goalposts".

Hey! Wasn't that what you accused me of in that other thread I linked to ? Yeah, it was. Makeing you *again* a a hypocrite.

If you do not want anything than why were you trying to bash me for informing the OP ?

:-) Where did he say which kind of connection he wanted for his keyboard ? If he didn't mention any that than, by your logic, that means he didn't want one. And that makes no sense.

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

Even if you would be right, how does that invalidate what I said ?

nospam,

You said "he's wrong." You did not explain what, how or why. You still haven't.

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

Who said that the OP wanted an USB cable solution ?

Both parts of the above line are hollow claims and as such absolutily meaningless.

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

I'm sure I cannot. Maybe you could explain it ? It would be a small step for mankind if you did.

Regards, Rudy Wieser

Please take it to email. The rest of us aren't interested in the same old protagonists having endless arguments about whether black is white.

Who hasn't.

druck,

How ? You've obviously not checked both his and my email addies.

Besides, giving ones email address to random entities, especially ones that do not like you, is wrought with problems, none of which I desire to have.

Than set the subthread between nospam and myself to hidden. Problem solved.

And oh, the next time you want to complain about something, do yourself a favour and /at least/ check out what is going on.

The whole problem is that I *cannot* have an argument (discussion) with nospam, because he won't /ever/ give me anything specific that could be the basis of a discussion. Just a never-ending stream of "you're wrong" / "you don't know anything" claims, never underbuild.

You don't need to take my word for that either - just pick and read any of the messages in this thread (or the one I linked to) he directed towards myself. They are all the same.

Regards, Rudy Wieser

Meh. I got my head warbled and argued the wrong case, yours.

This is mine : (chemically) bound or encapsulated water seems to loose some of its properties. News at eleven.

In this case the water is encapsulated, not allowing you to touch it. Hence, no "wet" effect. Same as for water in a flask. Or, if you want a chemical binding, yell-o. Both simple "at home" examples. No exotics needed.

Regards, Rudy Wieser

Point taken, perhaps I should have suggested shoving this up your collective rear-ends instead.

Except having to regularly block copious volumes of argumentative nonsense, only serves to put people off using this newsgroup for genuine Raspberry Pi discussions.

Everyone here can see what is going on, you've made your point, now stop feeding the troll.

.....

Maybe people who hide their email address, feel they can be an arse with impunity. I'm also continually amazed at the TRIVIA that people can get wound up about.

Obligatory xkcd:

:-)

druck,

Welcome to the real world,where usenet is like the old wild-west.: Anyone can do whatever they please, from dumping whatever they like in as many newsgroups they can find to bashing people in it.

And yes, after so many years of not wanting to do it I rather recently (two years or so ago) decided that automatically removing some peoples posts together with the replies to them from (standard) view would be a good idea. Times change.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just realized something from the above : is the reason you are responding to me (and not nospam) because my post is the only one you're seeing ? He's already been put in the doghouse by you and others ?

In that case any more posting in an attempt to make you and others aware of the game nospam is playing is indeed a bit superfluous here.

Regards, Rudy Wieser

Lew,

If only my "conversation" with nospam would have progressed that far. Actually having something to discuss would be a vast improvement.

Regards, Rudy Wieser

I am certainly not seeing his posts.

I give people about ten chances and if they haven't in ~ten posts posted anything interesting amusing or useful, kill file them

you didn't suggest anything he could try, let alone work. all you did was throw out a lot of jargon, that it 'might' be possible, needs hardware, is a lot of effort, etc.

i provided a link that turns a pi 400 into a keyboard, *exactly* what was requested, something which is *very* easy to do and with nothing more than a usb cable, which he almost certainly has.

what do you think 'dry' means?

hint: dry = not wet.

i did. do try to keep up.

all that's needed is to install something and connect the pi 400 to the other computer with a usb cable. thats *it*.

who said he wanted something else?

the year is 2022. usb has been the standard keyboard connection for more than 20 years. ps/2 faded away into obscurity long ago.

if he wanted ps/2 for some reason, he would have said so.

to be fair, it's a very specific scenario and i don't expect very many people to know about it, however, it *does* exist.

i only mentioned it because there are always exceptions, and you have a habit of using exceptions to try to prove people wrong, no matter how rare they might be.

anyway, it's very simple: fly faster than the earth is rotating, and in the opposite direction.

concorde was a supersonic plane that flew at roughly twice the speed of sound between new york city and either london (via british airways) or paris (via air france), until its retirement in october, 2003.

evening flights would often take off after the sun had set in london or paris (mainly in winter months) and fly west to new york where the sun was still shining.

that meant that prior to the flight, passengers would see the sun set in the west while on the ground and depart in darkness. during the flight, they'd see the sun rise in the west as they flew westward into daylight, only to see the sun set once again in the west after landing in new york, all within a roughly 4-5 hour time span.

although concorde no longer flies, supersonic flights are expected to return within a decade, with more advanced and quieter planes, at which point people will once again be able to experience this unusual (and very real) phenomenon.

that's false. i've provided a lot of specifics in various threads, with references when appropriate, which you either do not understand and think it means something different or you just ignore it.

because it's wrong.

nospam,

Reading comprehension again ? I suggest you re-read the OPs first post.

He asked if it was *possible*, not to present him with exactly how to do it.

There is a bit of a difference between trying to *help* someone, and smothering someone to death with "you don't need to think about it, here is how somebody else did it" information (assuming you actually provided that link. Which I, at this moment, do not take your word for).

Yep, it means that. You also lied, by pointing at *encapsulated* water to "prove" your point.

You know, I get the feeling that you either did not actually understand what you read there, or are still assuming - even when I've given ample indication that I wouldn't - that I would just drop to my knees and bow to what some sciency document says.

As so often, you could have just quoted where you did that. You never do. You're just lying about that you did.

and again, you're lying. You never did and you never will.

As it turns out that the people here seem to alreay know that you are playing games, so my pointing out to them where and how you are playing - claiming your ass of but never onderbuild it, being rtaher hypocritical - it isn't really needed here anymore.

So, goodbye to you.

Regards, Rudy wieser.

P.s. Have you already figured out how, in regard to email retention, POP3 can be made to act the same as IMAP ? No, I didn't think so.

Thanks, that's a cool project. I just wathced the video they linked. If had known about this, my colleagues had been able to save a lot of money isntead of buying KVM switches from Dell.

They spent a long time going through multiple revs of hardware, and now they are shipping the v3 module which is pretty nice (~$100 so not super cheap, although you can stick an HDMI/USB switch on the front to control multiple computers). The $30 metal case is nice too.

Unfortunately it's now sourcing the Pi4 that's the problem :(

(it is possible to cobble up something using another Pi - a Pi Zero is ok, a $35 HDMI capture module from Aliexpress and a bunch of cables, but it's too fragile to deploy in a production environment)
