This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn't show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

Meanwhile me enjoying multiple seconds latency when typing some commands in ssh using putty inside a windows VM using RDP accessed via a shitty corporate VPN from the other side of the world, while using another VPN because corporate blocked all traffics from other countries...

Makes more sense than my interpretation.

I thought someone was typing assembler on their phone and autocorrect didn't like that they spelled mov without the e at the end.

And here my barely awake trans ass was wondering why the crow was talking about estrogen 😅.

I need coffee.

Around normal people I feel like a fucking god when it comes to computers. But then I come here and I barely know what a computer is. Thanks for explaining.

Yeah I dunno I just got it even though I didn't specifically ever look those things up. Just by osmosis I know what assembly looks like and I've heard of keyboard interrupts which... Don't those not exist anymore with USB devices or something?

Thank you

Thank you for explaining!

Top geekmeme :)

Thanks!

Why do you explain an obvious meme. You also dont need a galaxy brain to know basics about CPU.

This was surprisingly interesting! Thanks for posting it. I didn't think there was anything noteworthy to glean from it, but @[email protected] mentioned down below that USB doesn't have interrupts, which I was unaware of. I especially liked how he covered different types of USB keyboards running at different speeds, and he briefly covered n-key rollover, or the lack thereof on the two keyboards he had on hand as well as why some key combinations fail due to shared wiring in the keyboard. The latency discussion between PS/2 interrupting and USB being polled for data at the end of the video was also fascinating.

Edit: Ben Eater did a follow-up video on how n-key rollover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lPzTU-3ONI
