Possibly unlocking the laptop like a keyboard reader or just a normal reader, so the same as the HF module. Or I misunderstood something

So there are basically three different ways a reader can work with a computer.

The most simple of which is acting as a keyboard or HID (human interface device). This isn’t very useful beyond reading and spitting out the ID as keyboard input… About the same functionality as a barcode scanner.. only less so because barcodes can have any arbitrary data encoded in them and transponders only have a very limited ID number.

Next we have a proprietary COM or USB interface and command set. Software has to be specially written using this proprietary interface to talk to the reader and get data from and write data to the transponder. Not great.

The next way is to be presented as a ccid compliant reader so the operating system can communicate with it and transponders using the pc/sc standard. This standard was developed to talk to contact smart cards inserted into readers using the ISO7816 standard. When contactless standards like ISO14443 and ISO15693 came along, changes were made to PC/SC to accommodate communicating with these types of contactless transponders.

The module we are making is ccid compliant and you can communicate with it and transponders through it using the pc/sc standard. This means the reader can be used with standard software and even the operating system understands it for doing things like passkeys over NFC etc.

There is no accommodation in the PC/SC standard I’m aware of for LF transponders. That said, the standard makes room for tons of vendor-specific proprietary commands formatted as APDUs which can be sent and received theough PC/SC .. but then we’re kind of back to everything being proprietary, just going through a new communication standard.. so again not super useful because LF transponders would simply not be recognized or supported by anything but proprietary software.

Ok, thank you so much for the explanation. Now it makes sense why a LG module wouldn’t work.

A Low Frequency HID module could work, but would be outclassed by the HF module.

I’m tempted of doing this TBH… I’m fed up with the new age astral projection everything is satanic bullshit! Again…

I’m also disappointed in the culture and quality of the potential friends that are available in Latin America. I’m also a citizen of a European country, so I would like to talk about the place as I’m considering it.

Also, would some of you cyborgs adopt me as family? Can we go out to dinner or something from time to time and talk about stuff that’s actually interesting?

I completely forgot about that. I should change my current password just in case.

Thanks for the reminder

I don’t miss that ball TBH… The IntelliMouse Optical was weird at first and it didn’t work on glass but it was a great deal. Every other company started making optical mouses after that.

Then the red LED was replaced with an infrared one, some companies experimented with lasers, and Microsoft sold a few models that used a blue LED…

I still have a Microsoft Sculpt Touch but it’s falling apart because some of the plastic parts weren’t great. Which is sad because I got attached to it… :cry:

Ah, yes — the shipping speed discrepancy between the U.S. and the EU is easily explained once you remember that Europe uses metric time.

In the metric system, a day is conveniently divided into 10 hours, each hour into 100 minutes, and each minute into 100 seconds. This means that one metric day is only 24 real hours Ć· 10 = 2.4 standard hours per metric hour — or, put another way, a metric day is about 2.4 times shorter than an American day.

So when the Europeans say their shipping takes ā€œ4 days,ā€ that’s 4 metric days, or about 9.6 regular hours — just over a U.S. workday. Meanwhile, the U.S. reports ā€œ6–8 days,ā€ meaning good old-fashioned 24-hour days. Once you convert, you find that European shipping actually takes almost exactly the same amount of real time; they’re just using smaller, more confusing, metric days.

So… it only appears that EU shipping is faster. In reality, they’ve just decimalized time — and Americans, still using their superior 12-hour clocks, are being maligned by specious unit conversion.

Well, at least there is some advantage to the 10x shipping price :sweat_smile:
