You have a networked keyboard/mouse?
- csydas 10y agoWell, it's possible they have something like Synergy installed to control multiple machines, maybe. Or else, perhaps they're talking about headless machines where it's just a box with power and ethernet.
- tcoppi 10y agoI could see Synergy for a workstation, but eventually one of the turtles on the way down will most likely have a keyboard/mouse connected to USB. Headless for servers certainly.
- djrogers 10y agoBluetooth - that's a network. Not to mention, my laptop has no external KB or mouse.
- shabble 10y agoA lot of laptops present the keyboard and touchpad/whatever as internally connected USB devices. So, if you want to disable USB by epoxying the externally facing connectors, that might work, but it means you can't do things like completely disable support at the BIOS or kernel level if you want those things to still work.
- dagw 10y agoWell there's bluetooth, but I imagine that that opens up a whole new set problems. I guess it's time to go back to PS/2
