Previous comment of mine seems relevant…

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.

No, I don’t think not being able to make change or not stopping touching a screen no matter how many times you are told that it isn’t a touch screen is cultural momentum. I genuinely think that we the older generations have failed Gen Z at a common sense and problem solving level and I very much hope that we don’t keep failing Gen Alpha. I was in school still when no child left behind went into effect and the difference was stark. It was said then that it was designed to create a generation of Republican voters and based on the most recent election it looks like it might have worked.

I think you are making a bunch of assumptions. I don’t have a problem with China subsidizing its own cars the same way we do. I have a problem with the idea that the current authoritarian governments in the west are either going to let our car industries die or adopt the labor practices to try to compete.

Working at a university I have seen some astounding shit; people just barely 10 years younger than me who can’t read analog clocks or make change let alone use a mouse or move a file to a flash drive.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person on Lemmy worried about the car market in China being subsidized into a global monopoly by the Chinese government and labor practices.

I have a clock that has 0 at the bottom, 6 in the 9 position, 12 at the top, and 18 in the 3 position.

The exploitation of cultural history, inaccurate or not, is appropriation.

Pocahontas and Mulan come to mind immediately as movies that pissed a lot of people off. Pocahontas especially since they whitewashed an already whitewashed story.

Joe has wares if you have coin?

Based on the username that might be the point.

I don’t think cities have anything to do with it. I live in an area with nearly a million people that has bike lanes people regularly use as turn lanes despite the signs.
