    I’ve seen a lot that are targeted to misbehaving devices, or proprietary charging standards.

    For example, you have a charger with Qualcomm’s old fast charge, and a phone with Samsung’s, so you use a trigger to negotiate the Qualcomm’s setting equivalent to Samsung’s and you get fastcharge.

    There’s also stuff like fnirsi’s usb tester, which can trigger fast charge for (you guessed it) testing.







  • Hello, I have had a “similar” issue. In my case a program didn’t recognise my controller as the first one because my motherboard’s led controller (!!!) pretended to be a controller.

    One very good and useful thing you can do is:

    • Verify that is really the problem, use udevadm info <device path> and see if it has ID_INPUT_JOYSTIC=1 or something similar.
    • Write an udev rule to unset the variable (e.g. ID_INPUT_JOYSTIC=) to remove the 1 without actually setting it to 0
    • Send the rule to systemd in an issue so they add it to a list of known hardware quirks. This way everyone with your keyboard will get the fix

    Washing: I’ll concede that one. But I’m not completely sold.

    Door: a lot of newly made vehicles already have automatic doors that unlock when you get close. You can already build an automatic lock if you want to, it’s not even that expensive.

    Vacuum: having a big ass humanoid robot walk around with a vacuum is ridiculous when you can just put wheels on the vacuum and let it walk itself around. The humanoid robot can move stuff, it’s true, but you can just put an arm on the robot vacuum.

    Toaster: dude, you just complained about the energy efficiency of a washing machine, and now you want to toast bread on a stove? That’s ridiculous, just give it up.

    Fan: I’m starting to think you just want the “thrill” of owning a slave

    Fridge: Professor Layton is a game about a professor that solves mysteries and puzzles. Try it, it’s fun. 90% of people who played it as a child have shown improved mathematical and logical thinking, and packing skills (it’s not true, I made it up).

    Wake on Lan already works. You just don’t know how to configure dnat.

    • Hand washing (dishes or clothes) is inherently extremely inefficient compared to machine washing. It wastes a lot more water and energy. Plus, machines clean better than hands in most cases. I hope you are joking and not actually considering a hand-washing robot to be an improvement over machine washers.
    • The drier replacement is fine.
    • The vacuum replacement is mostly fine, but a regular vacuum with a robot arm to move stuff would be better
    • Why do you want to spend less time with your pet? Feed them yourself
    • Using a robot to open a door is just plain stupid. Why would you ever want to wait for a robot to drop what it’s doing, walk to the door, open it, and go back to its task… When an automatic lock costs next to nothing and is instantaneous
    • Toaster… Would the robot… Like… Heat its hands while holding the bread?
    • Fan… Do you want it flap its hands to make wind?
    • Large fridge… Some people have never played “professor Layton” and it shows
    • Coffee maker… Fine… Whatever…
    • Double entry

    • The litter box cleaning is also fine
