You can still spin the damn encoder.

A younger me would have had the same gusto. Age has taught me that attempting to improve the AC, in ways that my family can neither appreciate or understand, is merely going to lead to disaster.

In theory but the odds of you having an HVAC control board that supports OpenTherm are extremely low.

I thought Google Wave was going to kill email and chat and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Worse is better.

I see them on Amazon, sold by WayPonDEV. I've bought several NanoKVM brand devices from them and haven't had any problems (yet).

Came here to endorse the NanoKVM USB. It's a great little device. Wendell made a video[0] on it. The web interface is super handy.

Different use-cases. The Sipeed product comparable to the GL-RM1 is the NanoKVM Cube. Comparable to the GL-RM10 is the NanoKVM Pro (Desk).

(Of course you could use the Cube on a crash cart, too. Just like you can use the butt of a screwdriver to hammer a nail.)

You can modify the internal electronics to accomplish this. YouTuber Luke Miani did it a couple years ago. A quick google brings up a few guides including a couple user-contributed-but-ostensibly-QC'd guides on iFixit.

For a crash cart? Who cares. For everything else...

No, you're AOL.

I did the "start ms-cxh:localonly" trick yesterday on a fresh install of Windows 11 25H2 and it worked fine, so...?

For context, it was intended to be the successor to PA-RISC and compete with DEC Alpha.
