A bunch of those points about ps2 are no longer accurate, it's emulated on modern computers.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't tell me they nerfed ps2

Sad days tp ahve a PS2 keyboard ot mouse

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Jesus, proofread before hitting send.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

I know this is a shitpost, but what's interesting is that even though USB doesn't directly interrupt the CPU it's still faster. USB is able to get the entire packet sent before PS2 even sends one. It's very interesting. So if you ever see anyone unironically saying there is less latency call them out!

USB: Many designs and revisions, none of them perfect

Nah, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SuperSpeed is the best! And it took me only 30 minutes of reading articles and wiki pages to get that information! ^although^ ^I’m^ ^not^ ^sure^ ^what^ ^USB4^ ^Gen^ ^3×1^ ^is,^ ^but^ ^it’s^ ^only^ ^x1^ ^so^ ^can’t^ ^be^ ^that^ ^good,^ ^right?^

Yeah but try pressing more than 4 keys at once on the PS2 keyboard and get back to me

[–] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That is a limitation of the keyboard not PS/2. Unlike USB which is limited to 10 simultaneous key presses, PS/2 supports full n-key rollover.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

USB is not limited to 10, or 6 as is sometimes stated.

Interesting I did not know that.

If there is a fault in the PS2 device it literally breaks the rest of the computer.

A little more than 15 years ago I had to fix my PS2 keyboard because it crashed everything. Not even a BSOD, just colors.

[–] grubbyweasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

looks nervously at my 3070ti and ibm model m haha so was there any permanent damage or like

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No. It was when I was younger and I smacked the keyboard at some point. The whole computer crashed with random pixels all over the screen. I tried rebooting many times. I came to the conclusion the cable inside of the keyboard must have been slightly disconnected and pushed it further back into it, and my PC worked again.

Computers are really resilient to permanent damage to be honest. I once dropped a screw into a running computer and it short-circuited with sparks and all. I was still able to boot it, but it was extremely slow. After a few reboots it was back to normal.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

Likely tripped some PTC "fuses". Often, with time to cool, they'll mostly return to normal.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I haven't seen a device with those in a very long time.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A device, no. A motherboard? Yup.

[–] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

I recently bought a motherboard with a N100 processor, that had two 3.0 USB Ports, two 3.1 USB Ports, an HDMI and a DisplayPort. Because of that I was surprised to learn that it had also two PS/2 ports for a keyboard and a mouse.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

My mechanical keyboard came with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, and I use that instead of the USB one. Feels good

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I actually use a keyboard with that connector with a converter ( to USB ). It works pretty well.

Fyi, I’m using a very old happy hacking keyboard my father gave me

Here’s the picture of the keyboard I found on the Internet:

Same as VGA, shit just works, don’t need to worry about drivers or OS. So if your server shits the bed, you don’t need to worry about these things not working so you can can figure what went wrong.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Enjoy your 720p analog signal.

Display port is where it is at

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

For most workflows, especially text, 720p is more than enough.

That said, DisplayPort >>>>> HDMI

[–] MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

My keyboard uses PS/2 and although I do have a PS/2 to USB adapter, i prefer using my computers PS/2 port because it means one more USB port can be used for something else.

30+ years old and it runs flawlessly.
