Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️USB should have been crimpable.
I want to crimp my own USB cables, dang it. I need them to be a specific length!
alternate universe where USB just used RJ11 connectors
gloriouscow@foone i do wonder why aren't we just using ethernet for everything
@gloriouscow I know, right? just use PoE for power delivery!
@foone never run out of ports again, just add a 48 port rackmount switch and connect more keyboards
@gloriouscow you know I've never tried to see what the practical maximum for keyboards connected to one machine is. I should test
@foone I know if you connect two mice to Windows they both control the cursor which is fun. I've never tried three.
Do the needful, foone.
@gloriouscow I'm going to ewaste later today and they've got an infinite gaylord of OEM keyboards, I could pick up some supplies...
Alice@foone @gloriouscow an infinite WHAT
@confusionunknown @gloriouscow gaylords are the large cardboard boxess used in warehousing and recycling
@foone @gloriouscow that is an incredible name
did you originate that name or is this a thing that everyone calls them

@lilstevie @confusionunknown @foone
they're very common for stuff like returns and recycling because they have an open top and you just chuck shit in there.
although i was unfamiliar with the term myself until I got a job at Staples and was instructed to go put something "in the gaylord". I must have had a particular look on my face at that moment because my manager just continued "...its the big cardboard box" in a somewhat exhausted way.
they're enormous and like an inch thick and basically indestructible.
people joke about living in cardboard boxes but you could totally live in a gaylord and if you had two you could probably rent them out as a 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan for $2000 a month
