myrmepropagandistHODL... but it's my box of cables that date back to 1989
Any moment now one of you will need that USB B to USB A and THAT will be my moment to shine.
Paul Chambers🚧@futurebird I have a desktop that I still use occasionally that uses a USB Mouse to PS/2 adapter for the keyboard and mouse. Grant it, I only use it for one program that isn't available for modern OS's. FYI, I never connect it to the internet.
Linebyline@paul @futurebird Oh, this makes me so mad. I bought a bunch of similar adapters (actually the opposite, to connect a PS/2 mouse/keyboard to a PC's USB port, but the same soothing shade of aqua) and they just…didn't work. It turns out that they were strictly wire adapters, with no electronics to translate the protocol. So they only work with devices that are aware of the USB protocol, despite having only a PS/2 connector.
