Trying to use a Leonardo as a switching device for my KVM. Nothing happens when I plug the USB into the KVM's keyboard port.
I don't think the built-in keyboard library identifies itself as "boot capable" in the HID descriptor, which is necessary for simpler keyboard devices. Try using NicoHood's HID library with the "BootKeyboard" object.

I made my own keydeck! So happy with it, the multimedia keys and encoder are so useful!
Looks great! How did you handle the programming? Did you follow a guide, or did you implement the Arduino HID Project library?

Can I send data to my computer to programmatically control the mouse using an esp8266?
Skip the esp then and pick up any dev board supported by the HID project.

After some help from the kind people of this subreddit I managed to get my first project working with some workarounds! (vJoySerialFeeder was the solution)
You can make it act like a HID - which is what I assume many people have done - with custom drivers like this one. https://github.com/NicoHood/HID

Making an DIY gaming wheel
You can use Arduino HID Project which allows to reprogram atmega16u2 which performs USB communications on Uno. Then you can upload HID sketch on 16u2 and "normal" code on atmega328 which would do everything and send desired wheel state via serial. On 16u2 side you will parse that serial command from 328 and translate it into HID message

HID - LED status lights beyond 0x07
I'm trying to grab the "microphone muted" LED status from the HID library, but it seems like the library only supports a select few statuses out of the box: https://github.com/NicoHood/HID/issues/151

Little brother saw me upgrading and cleaning my laptop, bough me a kit. (help in description)
Nano (atmega328) doesnt have native USB support (just a USB to UART converter). UNO also doesnt have native USB support, but has a atmega16U2 on board. You can flash this chip and build a USB HID bridge -> https://github.com/NicoHood/HID/

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!
