if there was a better way to watch hockey I would probably do it but the only ways to watch hockey online involve 480p pirate streams or using proxies/vpns to get around local blackouts on the official nhl streaming thing.

anthonypants posted:because it detracts from the purity of the HID device class essence yes, because when I said you shouldn't need to download drivers to make something work, I totally meant that nobody should be able to download a driver ever for that thing if it has some features beyond what the device class supports if I plug a keyboard with weird keys into my Mac, all the regular keys work. I can install a driver for that keyboard if I want to use the weird keys, but I'm not forced to install the driver just for the keyboard to work at all

yeah all the media keys are standard windows keys so its probably chrome using its own, internal, Linux key binding system that's looking at raw data or some stupid poo poo.

the media keys on my logitech keyboard works without installing any drivers in windoze (besides what it does during the initial plug-in)  i bet the usb floppy drive situation will be similar

windows keyboard poo poo is stupid as hell even with keyboard switcheroo apps, i can't stop CMD + l from locking the computer instead of moving th cursor to the location field in whatever browser. it's hardcoded to lock int he OS and the reason ctrl + alt + del is used to unlock in Win 7? it's a kernel-level thing that no other app can emulate. a piece of poo poo, operating system-wise, it is.

the dumbest thing about hid by far is that layout isn't a usb property of the device so you still have to ask users what their layout is it is the year 2015 the us is fighting a group of militants, who recruit by broadcasting propaganda across the entire globe, using long range wireless flying robots the government collects data from every call and most of the billions of computers connected to the ARPANET (now called internet) a group of hackers of unknown nationality broke into a nuclear facility through cyberspace and forced the equipment to break itself now press these keys so that we can detect what kind of keyboard you use

They give tax breaks here if all your business' computer software is in french (or you can prove that some extremely niche program you use has no french equivalent, but if any exists you have to use it even if it's completely poo poo)  this is actually one situation where microsoft has a good solution, though, since we usually just create dummy users configured for french and if the government does a check we just give them that user to verify with

the keyboard thing also applies for english versions of the os but not using the us keyboard layout, like in the uk where it's different and prioritizes the £ and poo poo like that, although i think most dollar countries just use english us (canada, new zealand, i'm assuming australia)
