PS/2 Port on its way to harass the CPU

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Seems the CPU has become the bully these days:

CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
Keyboard: E
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?
CPU: hey keyboard do you have anything for me?

My grandpa always used to say that computers used to be way better before they became electrical.

Ah, yes the good ol days of punch cards, switch boards, mechanical operators and electron tubes, when will the youngins learn that their fancy transistors are for pussies

Personally I inscribe all of my code into binary on a fired clay tablet and store it in a cave for archival purposes

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

No I meant the real computers

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Low level accountants in the early 20th century.

No binary monstrosity could ever replace just doing it in your head.

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I always appreciated Dunes idea of a mentat, basically an accountant trained from birth and juiced up on brain steroids to have equal computing ability to a high level AI. Usually when I think of the way human conciousness may evolve and trancend its current capabilities my mind goes right to the psychadellic-bro conciousness expansion and non-localized astral projection stuff, its interesting to consider there are other potential paths to augmenting human conciousness and what other boundaries could be pushed.

A disgusting fifth glyph? In MY list of funny pics? I may throw up.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 10 months ago

Is there not multiple in your name?

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

He's a traitor.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

IDs don't count. Would fail too many for a hard to fix thing.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Ah, a man of abundant class. How wondrous to run into you on this platform.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 29 points 10 months ago

assembly flashbacks

[-] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 103 points 10 months ago

Modern USB keyboards need to be asked what's being pressed by the CPU multiple times a second, but old PS/2 keyboards will actually interrupt the CPU to send the key press command

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh, didn't actually know what's being done behind the scene...

Why is this relevant to Linux only?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I see you had interruptions masked.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Why e in this context? I have seen sei() and cli() before, but not E.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

That's the very important information you got from the keyboard.

Some context may come later, but it will take ages.

[-] Turun@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Thanks, apparently I can't read. I somehow missed the top right yellow speech bubble.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Int 8 would like to say hello. And you better not take too long.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Good old interrupts, how come we don't do it like that for drivers anymore

[-] zzx@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

We still kinda do, just depends on the kernel you're using. On Windows any IRQL > 2 is pretty much instant like the bird
