  • Not necessarily, modern having keyboards can operate at upwards of 1khz polling speed. The main difference is, that usb needs polling in the first place, whereas ps/2 is interrupt based.

    That essentially means that ps/2 tells the computer “hey a key was just pressed” instantly and usb waits to be asked whether a key was pressed or not. If the latter is done often enough the difference becomes negligible.






  • Of course there are still sculptors around! Like most art sculptures have gotten more abstract tho. Visit any museum of modern Art and you are sure to find some!

    Marble and the like are of course incredibly expensive, and for that reason most people stick to more affordable options like wood or ice. Or do additive sculpting with clay/plaster, welding or something like that. If you really want to work with stone you might want to apprentice with a stonemason.

    How did I start? Took a pocketknife in my hand and started whittling. The foundations of working in a subtractive manner are largely independent of material.

    First of all, not all powerful. That is what my first comment was all about. Second, I wouldn’t categorically say no, unlikely, but not impossible. Thirdly, why do so many people feel like debating the finer points of a fictional event with me? You guys are almost as bad as harry potter nerds, except you hate the book you are talking about.
