Using Arduino Joystick with DCS
The Mega2560 like the Uno has a second MCU that does the USB-Serial stuff, an atmega16u2. You can flash this one to show up as a USB HID device instead of serial through Hoodloader (https://github.com/NicoHood/HoodLoader2).

Need help with FastLED and Corsair lighting protocol
The library is compatible with all boards using the MCU ATmega32U4. This includes Arduino Leonardo, SparkFun Pro Micro, Arduino Micro, and Adafruit 32u4 AVR Boards. It also supports the Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega, but this requires the HoodLoader2 bootloader, see this wiki for more details.

- Can i use this arduino as a pc/laptop keyboard? Its for osu(a rhythm game) and majority of osu gamers who makes custom clickers for it uses arduino leonardo because it has usb support but im wondering if i can use the uno as a keyboard since it uses the ch340 chip and i just hook some buttons on it

hoodLoader2 might help you out. I've no experience with it though.

Leonardo vs. Uno: which one should I buy?
You should buy a Leonardo if you want to do USB projects, the Uno can do that stuff too - it has a small microcontroller (16u2) that's a cut down version of the one on the Leo (32u4) that handles the USB to serial conversion required for a PC to communicate with the main microcontroller (328P) on an Uno, the 16u2 can be reprogrammed to make the board appear to be anything - but it's harder to achieve for beginners. If you're interested in reading more, take a look at https://github.com/NicoHood/HoodLoader2, but if you just want to do keyboard and mouse stuff quickly with all "off the shelf" hardware and software (and the community support that entails) the Leo is definitely your best bet.

Announcing: PonyOS 8
In case it's not clear, PonyOS is a joke reskin of my serious OS project, ToaruOS. PonyOS gets a new release every April 1st. All of the libraries and applications in ToaruOS are in-house things I built myself - the whole OS is "built from scratch". PonyOS adds ponysay, which is an external app originally written in Python - and in previous releases of PonyOS I shipped the Python version alongside a port of Python 3.6. This release, though, comes with a port to my own language, Kuroko, which is a dialect of Python - a lot of what went into building the PonyOS release this year was getting ponysay to work well.

Interesting variables
There is no correct way to use inline assembly here. You need a stub written in assembly that will save those registers to the stack and pass a pointer to a handler written in C. You may also want to define a struct that matches the stack layout to make it easier to access the stack contents. This is not my code. If you want to use this code in your OS, you must follow the license requirements.

Seriously, WHY?
Here's a good example, although it's 64-bit instead of 32-bit.
