[QUOTE=benjgvps;52391482]I was more than happy to pay for a premium Imgur account at the rate they were asking originally. Then they took that option away in favor of more advertising.[/QUOTE]
Oh well, free accounts can upload unlimited when they ditched the premium accounts.
So my Oneplus 5 was "lost" at the local UPS depot. Guess you shouldn't label packages with HVIs with "Only deliver to signee" or the driver is gonna snatch it. After complaining enough I got assigned a dude working at the depot and he promised to call me back by lunchtime, no such thing. Called him back, asked him about it and he said they are questioning everyone in the supply chain, whatever that means. Last status is that it was delivered to the facility and handed over to athe contract firm that runs it.
Oneplus support told me to wait another day for UPS to deliver it, even after I told them UPS has confirmed that it won't be delivered today because they lost it.

it is a passive adapter btw, no IC inside or anything, I know that active PS/2 to USB adapters are rather common[/del]

I'm not really sure about it, but I've seen this a while ago and it seems to still be maintained:

Seafile is the only self-hosted platform i found, that matches performance and has a decent featureset when compared with stuff like dropbox.

It could have a PS/2 converter chip in it. I know there are those pigtail dongles that also convert USB to PS/2.

Basically ps/2 is a pretty awesome thing for keyboards: n-key rollover without platform specific crap and drivers, not polling but interrupt based, no delays from the usb bus being busy and just works (tm)
Which is why many mid/high end mechanical keybaords still come with ps/2 by default but ship with these adapters.
Also famed model ms
This guy has an amazing scam going on. Gist of it is "Donate your old clicky keyboards for more modern ones"

That would make perfect sense if it was an active adapter and purple.
Besides, all the PS2 compatibility i've seen has always been the other way around, eg usb -> ps2.

We used to sell ps2 to usb all the time. Usually to old people who didn't want to give up their keyboards and mice when they upgraded from a pentium xp system to something with 7.

Back in the early days of optical mice, many had PS2 connectors, but we're also electrically compatible with USB. That's largely what it's for.

IIRC isn't PS/2 just emulated by the USB host chip these days? That's just a passive adapter so

You are referring to these adapters. I have several Microsoft optical mice that support it. they work really good on the Silicon Graphics O2 and Indigo2.

Also color means nothing for PS/2 unless whoever OEM'd the interface controller specifically made the port exclusively listen for commands that said "I'm a keyboard!" or "I'm a mouse!"

I am young, but I am not unfamiliar with old interfaces. It is a passive adapter, I can think of USB keyboards that also work with PS/2 using a USB female to PS/2 male passive adapter, but not the other way around, that is my point. Lots of illiterates seem to have fallen for it on Amazon and left 1-star reviews saying "did not work, shit product"... I actually am using a USB Microsoft mouse with a USB to PS/2 adapter at this very moment on this very computer btw.

This adapter only works with keyboards/mouse made around the same era. The controllers on these devices typically supports both USB HID and PS/2. That's why these adapters work.

Being that PS/2 is emulated by the USB host chip these days like I said earlier, I'm sure probably [I]would[/I] work on at least some computers.

It's still broken. UUGHH. So Windows 7 is installed on the SSD, it kinda works but as updates continue, it becomes unstable, reboots a lot, etc.

I never had n-key rollover on PS/2. It was usually just three or four and then it would start flipping out at you.
