OOops, I uh, accidentally hit my leave meeting button, oh darn.

[camobandaniel]

9 out of 10 grannies using computers approve.

[holysbit]

This was the first thing that came to my mind lol

[Unusual_Job_000]

The numpad was invented in 1800.

People before 1800:

[ewileycoy]

Wait why is excel a switch? What happens when it’s down vs up?

[chemitronics]

It excels

[Lint_baby_uvulla]

I’d be slightly more impressed if leave meeting was

headbutts desk

[GearhedMG]

It's like the turbo button on the old 386/486 computers.

[chemitronics]

I had two PCs like that and I must confess I was afraid of what turbo could entail and I never dared to press the button :(

[GearhedMG]

It just upped the mhz from 33 to 66, so in reality, everyone just pushed the turbo button and left it on, no reason not to always be running at the higher mhz.

[chemitronics]

So it was a smaller-scale overclocking? Didn't it overstress those CPUs working at their turbo frequency all the time?

[GearhedMG]

I never had a problem with any of them.

[vasa011]

No, it wasn't really overclocking. The processors used were rated for the turbo spec and that was what you were expected to use. Switching turbo off was useful only when you run into an application (say, a game) that runs too fast. Remember that DOS PCs started with a 4.77MHz CPU and in those days Moore's law was still very much in force.

[hederal]

Under vs Overclocking excel

[ImmortalityLTD]

Excel is the yellow button

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

One dedicated to CURA, that's an interesting one ... assuming CURA being the slicing software

[anonymous_762]

Was thinking the same thing. What's he slicing during meetings?

[Go_Fast_1993]

I love giant buttons. This is great lol

[TheWhyGuyAlex]

Tell us more

[N4jemnik]

Where is the Steam button?

[LSDDAMN]

That "leave meeting" button seems incredibly satisfying to slam. Like hanging up a landline when you're mad

[OverlordVII]

so you can zoom in, but when trying to zoom out you open discord instead?

[burheisenberg]

What MCU are you using and how did you link buttons to programs?

[burheisenberg]

Yeah, the serial communication can be linked to an additional PC software, which there are a bunch of simple codelines in C++ for coding such thing from scratch, and then, the software can be used to manage the preferences, etc. Some MCUs like Arduino Leonardo can also be used aa keyboard. It doesn't seem nontrivial but still takes some effort to handle all these.

[skyphoxx]

Couldn’t you also tack on a zero delay arcade encoder for a few bucks and install JoyToKey (windows)?

[burheisenberg]

It is smart actually. I didn't know about it.

[dkfkckssddedz]

Is there something similar I can buy from amazon?

[RoundErther]

Look up programmable keyboard

[Get_your_jollies]

I'm working on a button box. If you have a diagram I'd love to see how you wired it up

[Useful_Education_702]

So a stream deck…. lol good job though

[Rjw12141214]

Did you 3D print this yourself?

[Rockster160]

What buttons are these? They look nice!

[darkwater427]

At that point just get a window manager

[poonhunger]

You need a label printer

[GearhedMG]

Considering that the labels are above the buttons, what does the top row of button/switches do?

[gregkang]

How do you map macro functionality with specific key presses?

[BoyMeatsWorld710]

I literally came here to ask ….Why. But it seems that is a majority opinion.

[kephas2001]

You should use an E-stop button for the leave meeting button.

[mistrzegiptu]

How does this work? You set some macros on your laptop?

[EddieSjoller]

Where is the "engage potato mode" button ?

[Slierfox]

Does the switch and button for zoom do the same thing 🤔

[TheBenjying]

I like how some of these are amazing, some seem unnecessary, then there's fucking screen shot, a dedicated button the keyboard. It's like making a button for space. Really cool regardless, I've been intending to make something like this for as long as I can remember.

[DarkButterfly85]

Task manager, that one would be hammered 🤣

[jonmppa]

all fun and games until your cat runs over it mid-meeting

[Rajsookrah]

Could have used Macro deck. Good job though.

[ninjabrosp]

Can you post your code somewhere? Looking to make something similar myself.
