nobody knows. the White House says the president "issued a memorandum" but nobody is reporting on what if any legal authority was used.

(that won't stop him but it means newsom is actually in a reasonably strong position politically to damage the trump admin if he's willing to prioritize that over his theoretical 2028 presidential run)
comment in response to

he theoretically does by invoking the insurrection act but to do so would be crossing the rubicon for a lot of normies.

yeah it's very plausible based on his character that he'll protest loudly and then sign off on it like the quisling he is in the name of protecting democratic process or some such shit

the question is whether newsom has the guts to force the president to reach for that third modality, which hasn't happened (AFAIK) since the National Guard was ordered to desegregate schools in the south in the 1960s.

The National Guard in each state has three operating modes:
- At the direction of the governor
- At the direction of the President, with the consent of the state
- Nationalized by the president without state consent, only within prescribed circumstances

i mean, my take is that if this works for the streamdeck it'll work for any non-standard USB-HID device (that doesn't present as a keyboard or mouse)

confirmed! codebase: github.com/haikuginger/...

I'll do some playing tomorrow and if it works get you sample code.

which actually suggests an alternate path of patching the elgato binary to skip the "am i locked" check
i believe we both know some people with experience in this area
comment in response to
post
the sense i got was that the LoginWindow facade isn't a hard boundary so much as "we implement a barrier for standard HID devices like mouses and keyboards and nonstd things will freak people out if they keep working through the lock screen so Please Don't Do That"

i remember the protocol not being that bad; the latency is such that doing any sort of video would be a nightmare but if you can get the images you want rendered... doable.
comment in response to

yeah this was a while back but i basically pulled a full USB-HID stack in, enumerated the tree, and paired with a device by repeatedly polling all matching VID/DIDs until a button got pushed on one

(i know you said the streamdeck can't do it but i recall being vaguely freaked out by the amount of stuff it could do when the computer was locked if i had code tapped directly into it)
comment in response to
post
i think the stream deck can do it if you write your own HID layer for it. possibly you might also need to run that in a system-scope launchd agent instead of user-scope. i have some junk code somewhere i can dig up to see if i can make it work.

incidentally, "C-3" is not a safe search on here

Same. I found a change in upstream that was causing a new failure mode, fixed that particular failure mode, but it was moved to a different failure mode. asked the model "what changes between vX and vY would result in behavior Z"; it nailed it (it was the same cause with a different modality).

oh, and i guess a fourth: i ask o3 for a "cohesiveness review"; the prompt is something along the lines of "please evaluate the unstated git changes and describe their overall purpose; please bring my attention to any changes that don't seem to align with that purpose."

- pre-PR review. prompted correctly, o3 catches a fair number of behavioral flaws the type system can't—e.g., "you assigned the left branch of `split_on_predicate` to `enabled` but it looks like the opposite in the lambda predicate". and then i fix it and have o3 write more tests that cover the bug.

three primary use cases:
- as i'm writing or refactoring code, cursor's autocomplete. i didn't fully appreciate how much i was leaning on it until i went to do personal coding on vanilla VSC.
- tests. o3 writes well-structured, understandable tests.

the playlist on the g4 has something like six renditions of the song "san francisco", and another eight of "blowin' in the wind"

what if i told you that the guy who runs my local stained glass shop does inventory and sales/receipt management on a system 7 performa with a mock-retro-typewriter keyboard, plays music during classes from a G4 PowerBook, and grams pictures of his students' finished works on a modern iPhone

you can even use square brackets for generics. python does that and it's fine!
