Did you know that Windows 10 has a ceiling on how many resources it can assign to USB devices? Beyond that, you can’t plug more USB devices, even using hubs. Also, bandwidth-intensive devices will clog up your USB hub, making the other devices “stutter”, which you can see if they are input devices like a wireless mouse. It’s about 96? or so resources (addresses? I don’t understand it very well), but some devices take up more than 1. And this includes hubs – USB hubs also take up the resource. I reached that limit.

Computer with 9 USB ports connects to:

• USB Hub1 30 feet away
• USB Hub2 (3.0) 10 feet away
• Webcam1, C930e 80 feet away (via cable extension)
• Webcam2, C920 30 feet away (via cable extension)
• Audio Interface
• HDMI Capture Card
• Mic1
• USB Hub3 50 feet away
• Webcam4, C920

PCIe USB 3.0 Expansion Card with 4 Ports connects to:

• Webcam5, nobrand
• Webcam6, nobrand
• Webcam7, nobrand
• Intuos Tablet

USB Hub1 (2.0, 7 ports) connects to:

• Printer
• Document Scanner
• Wireless Keyboard1 Receiver

USB Hub2 (3.0, 10 ports) connects to:

• Touchpad
• Wireless Keyboard2 Receiver
• Wireless Mouse1 Receiver
• Wireless Mouse2 Receiver
• Presentation Clicker Receiver

USB Hub3 (actually it’s just a splitter with 4 ports.. not sure if there is a difference with larger hubs) connect to:

• Webcam3, C270 30 feet away (via cable extension)
• Numpad

I’m left handed and use vertical mouse, which makes it impossible to find single wireless receiver keyboard+mouse combo that includes a left-handed vertical mouse.

It seems that devices that connect via Bluetooth do not take up the USB resource – but I haven’t tested thoroughly yet. After hitting the limit on Windows and reading up on it and realizing that there is a hard limit, I’m trying to move some of the devices to Bluetooth (since they can do either a BT or a IR connection)

Bluetooth devices:

• Headset1
• Headset2
• Xbox Controller
• Potentially: Touchpad, Clicker, Tablet

i’m watching westworld and this scene caught me by surprise

so the protagonists get into this structure, walking away from the villains in style

and they activate this super high tech device that neutralizes any nearby electronic equipment to disable security

Dolores is like “watch me, it’s magic” and walks past “security”. Very badass, very cool.

But this is just LA’s subway fee gate. They are basically teenagers jumping over the fee gate without paying.

it seems like the microchips are working. reddit read my mind today:

Is anybody else never satisfied with sweets/junk food "in moderation"?

“In breaking news, a group of DACA patriots are calling for the resignation of President José María Jesús, claiming that he didn’t properly complete form I-821D, making him ineligible to call himself the first dahcuh president of the United States. Constitutional concerns also plague the debate. Fox reports with an in-depth story at 9”

i didn’t have anyhthing to watch after subscribing to hbo max so i started watching big bang theory for the first time
i had seen it referenced it in politics debates here and there but never got to see it because i don’t watch tv and it sounded a lot like “american culture” like friends or something
but shit’s hilarious!
four college nerds being socially awkward

lol calm down newsom

I’m remembering how Trump in Late March 2020 said “we are gonna reopen the first week of April 2020, just in time for Easter. You are gonna have a beautiful Easter”

Yeah because piece of shit cares about religion so much

i saw a question on r/askhistory about Pytheas, an ancient greek who sailed from northern Italy to various regions in northern Europe, British isles, and somewhere very far up north “six days sailing from the main British island” where the guy saw and recorded the effects of the arctic, ice covering the ocean, etc
looked it up on wikipedia and youtube and it’s fascinating

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4NF1Qm3mK8

people speculate how far did the guy get, possibly one of the islands off the northern coast of Britain, or northern coast of Norway, or (unlikely) Iceland or even Greenland

imagining how you are out and about seeing things you’ve never heard about before and then they must have felt like if they don’t make it back home alive they can’t tell others of the crazy stuff they saw, makes me anxious and i kind of enjoy that lonely-anxious imagined feeling

I made a spreadsheet with automated formulas to pull data from mint and my credit card to track income, taxes, business deductions, expenses budget and forecasting. Super excited at how sophisticated it is. It easily beats Mint.com’s budget functionality. Well, probably because I made it customized for my needs.

yesterday I started having this strange behavior on my Google Docs files where my cursor seemed stuck on the left side of the line, even though typing was possble (letters kept getting added to the right of the cursor as I typed). Also, cursor movement both on keyboard and mouse was invisible, and selecting any text was impossible.

This is a new bug where the latest version of Google Chrome acts weird with Adblockers on. More info on: https://piunikaweb.com/2021/04/15/google-docs-cursor-stuck-on-left-not-moving-formatting-issues/

I solved it by disabling Adblock for the Google Docs website

even more strangely, I only have this problem on my Google Workspace account’s Google Drive files, not on my personal gmail chrome session’s google docs files (personal also has Adblock enabled, and it doesn’t exclude Google Docs domains)
