- netsharc 19 hours agoWritten by AI? The whole text smells like it, this sentence near the end is the most suspicious: "The 2 bytes were never the goal. The goal was to see how far in I could get."[-]
- andy99 19 hours agoI stopped reading at “ 2 bytes on a 64GB stick is embarrassing. 2 bytes in your mouse is art.”
No way to know for sure, but worth flagging.
[-]- timwehrle 19 hours agoSo yea fair enough for being skeptical. That’s just how I write. I normally don’t do technical blog posts and in my free time I tend to write more in a bookish way. Especially since it’s not my first language. Thanks for checking the post out and this helps me[-]
- llbbdd 18 hours agoWrite it yourself. This comment is fine, it didn't matter if your English isn't perfect. I got you. LLMisms sour the whole post with a bad tone and I and others won't stomach it. The impression of effort is more important.
- llbbdd 18 hours agoI hit "No rounding, no validation, not a "that's not a real DPI" error." and stopped. Garbage
- NooneAtAll3 19 hours agois this comment written by Ai?
the first sentence is the most suspicious - too many comments accusing blogposts of being made by Ai for basically no reason

> Turns out macOS's IOHIDManager silently blocks the longer HID++ report format you need to actually write to it. The OS just drops the packets. No error, no explanation, nothing. I found this out after writing a pile of probe code and staring at empty responses for longer than I'd like to admit.
- kstrauser 19 hours agoThat’s a beautiful writeup. Why did I do this ridiculous and impractical thing? To learn how to do it!
Well done.
