  • The other commenter is on the right track but the chip controls both USB and PS/2 as well as others;

    In the 90s and 2000s, for x86 machines, slower I/O was handled by a chip called the Southbridge which worked in conjunction with a chip called the Northbridge that handled faster I/O like IDE and PCI. Later these were integrated into a single chip and, as of recent processor generations, into the processor itself.

    AFAIK ghosting and key rollover are issues when using PS/2 but it can offer some milliseconds off latency when used in high cpu games.


  • PBS exists. People would make things with no profit motive.

    Let me ask you this; would you be okay with members of certain terrorist groups making money off movies about 9/11 or other attacks? Are you okay with that song made by the J6 choir being on streaming services?

    If you are then fine, we will just have to agree to disagree. But if those ideas are irksome to you then I would ask that you extrapolate that feeling to try to understand why people flocking to see for example Killers of the Flower Moon when nobody would have gone to see it if it had been made by Sterlin Harjo for instance irritates the group of people who are the subject of the movie.

    I feel like you are getting lost in the weeds from the original point. Accuracy does not negate insensitivity. Intent, however, can but does not always.















  • You may be right about the copyrights in the individual unit, but I was talking about the underlying car OS in response to the commenter who said “most car systems run android”. QNX is a real-time operating system which is required for something like a car. Another for instance would be Microsoft Auto which Ford used before switching to QNX.

    In general a modern car will have dozens or hundreds of computers running their own software and communicating in a sort of API fashion usually through something like CAN bus. Most of these systems can’t afford to wait on something to boot when you start your car.

    In very general terms we are talking about the main difference between an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi.
