how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

  • Eh, it's one of those perpetual rivalry things where the answer will probably never be known, and doesn't really matter except when it comes to petty squabbles between nations.

    • Wireless keyboard disconnects when idle for ~2 minutes

  • That answers my question. If the USB dongle never disconnects from the machine, then I wouldn't expect anything to show in dmesg, as the 'sleep mode' is likely occurring downstream of the USB dongle.

    Are there any config utilities that came with it? Failing that, maybe wireshark the dongle and see if there is any sort of sleep/wake signal being passed back through to the host machine?

  • To clarify, you have a dongle paired with this keyboard permanently attached to the machine?

    • Is there a way to encrypt or password-protect part of a video?

    Jump

  • This is a very broad question, the answer to which will almost definitely be "yes, but", so knowing what you are trying to achieve would be helpful.

  • You don't. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.

    • How are roundabouts made?

    Jump

  • To get a step deeper into your "how can a machine draw a circle" question. Mostly it can't. Even with an open-loop control system dragging the 'pen' at a fixed angle, you would need to have defined that curve in software somewhere, where it will be a barely-noticable set of X-Y steps, not a pure curve, otherwise you cannot be sure it would return to the origin.

    Luckily, you only need a few decimals of pi to approximate that far beyond what any human eye could discern.

    Break any digitally defined curve down far enough and you will see those discrete steps, but with modern technology, we just never notice it.

  • It can be both. Traditionally is was a 'war dance', but depending on the lyrics and context it can be used as welcoming, a farewell, or many such things. You would have to translate it to know.

    • How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?

    Jump

  • Given how terrible the amazon search functionality is, I don't see how this would work. There is an overwhelming number of products available there, so it is easy to find what you're after eventually, but in my experience, the only way to actually find a specific product is with an external search engine.

    My normal search pattern goes something like: pricespy/digikey/RS/mouser > if not available, or too expensive> aliexpress > if too much to sift through > google shopping > (this is where amazon links live)
