So I've been testing out instances that use other forkeys and ngl I'm actually realizing how quickly I got used to the way catodon made the social timeline the default
@esm iirc some early attempts at wireless controllers (we're talking NES era) did use IR but they were... awful, to say the least.
and it also took a while for bluetooth to catch on - iirc Xbox used a proprietary standard up until partway through the Xbox One's lifespan, and a lot of wireless controllers for 6th-gen consoles also used proprietary standards.
that said tbh if I were in your shoes I would inform the instructor that this facet of the material is decades out of date
You may have seen me post about this a while ago, but it was not federating at the time. Now, it is and I'm waiting to see how quickly this thing bursts into flames!
