I had an idea the other day: I sometimes have to transfer files to heavily closed off Windows PCs (Corporate IT and whatnot) and that is a PITA. Why not connect a Arduino Pro micro to it that presents itself as a HID Keyboard, and then feed the arduino from my laptop with the data over serial. The arduino can open a CMD box, do a "copy con" and then type the extents of the file, do a Ctrl-Z, and there you are. Also sending a binary as base64 and then using the Windows built-in base64 decoder...

Dot matrix printers: Does anyone else use a dot matrix printer under Linux (maybe Debian). Would like to buy a used one and would be interested in recommendations. E.g. specifically which drivers work / out of the box too. I need the printer for an experimental art project ( digital drypoint etching). Thanks in advance and sorry für Crossposting from Station

fantacy computer inc. Let's try to 'design' a fantacy computer. Disclaimer: I'm not really a hardware person, please bear with me while I ramble about my fantacy machine. I can only hope that one day someone out there will produce, perhaps handcraft a true durable computer that could outlast me. I think the tech is already here, at least on the hardware side. Tantalum capacitor, leaded solder, MEMS oscillator, ceramic PCB, gold PCB trace, some detuned CPU that will be running at a some what...

I am looking for a self-contained programming environment on a microcontroller (ESP32 or similar) with a small touch screen, for kids to learn coding, without the need to have a PC or tablet. Nothing too esoteric or low level. I was wondering if such a thing exists or if I need to build it myself.
