Modern USB keyboards need to be asked what’s being pressed by the CPU multiple times a second, but old PS/2 keyboards will actually interrupt the CPU to send the key press command

Oh, didn’t actually know what’s being done behind the scene…

Hm… then why is it posted in a Linux comm?
Because it’s funny, there’s nothing that you don’t already know.
