Windows 键盘问题一例

今天打开电脑，进入Windows，登陆时竟然发现键盘不能用！冷静了一下后用软键盘登了，登陆后发现还是不行！

于是用鼠标和软键盘操作，看Device Manager,键盘设备有个黄叹号，设备状态里显示

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)

Google之，在http://www.edmartechguide.com/2009/02/windows-cannot-start-this-hardware.html里得到线索

于是进入Regedit，在HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class项下逐个检查，直到找到{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}，发现Class值是Keyboard，那么应该就是这项了

由于权限问题，改名和删除都不行，于是仔细观察各项，发现"UpperFilters"里有个可疑的alidevice，于是删掉，把"kbdclass alidevice"改成"kbdclass"

然后去Device Manager里Uninstall键盘设备，然后刷进，于是可以用了。

这样看来，应该是淘宝的驱动挂了，或者是让我搞挂了。

另外是Device Manager里的PS/2鼠标也不能用，这里是我笔记本上的触摸板。我用的鼠标是USB的，不过注册表里没有发现可疑项，重启以后自然能用了。

另外庆幸我的USB鼠标还能工作，否则输入设备一个都没了。。。好险

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Qubes OS: First Impressions

A few days ago, while browsing security topics online, Qubes OS surfaced—whether via YouTube recommendations or search results, I can't recall precisely. Intrigued by its unique approach to security through compartmentalization, I delved into the documentation and watched some demos. My interest was piqued enough that I felt compelled to install it and give it a try firsthand. My overall first impression of Qubes OS is highly positive. Had I discovered it earlier, I might have reconsidered starting my hardware password manager project. Conceptually, Qubes OS is not much different from running a bunch of virtual machines simultaneously. However, its brilliance lies in the seamless desktop integration and the well-designed template system, making it far more user-friendly than a manual VM setup. I was particularly impressed by the concept of disposable VMs for temporary tasks and the clear separation of critical functions like networking (sys-net) and USB handling (sys-usb) into the...

Exploring Immutable Distros and Declarative Management

My current server setup, based on Debian Stable and Docker, has served me reliably for years. It's stable, familiar, and gets the job done. However, an intriguing article I revisited recently about Fedora CoreOS, rpm-ostree, and OSTree native containers sparked my curiosity and sent me down a rabbit hole exploring alternative approaches to system management. Could there be a better way? Core Goals & Requirements Before diving into new technologies, I wanted to define what "better" means for my use case: The base operating system must update automatically and reliably. Hosted services (applications) should be updatable either automatically or manually, depending on the service. Configuration and data files need to be easy to modify, and crucially, automatically tracked and backed up. Current Setup: Debian Stable + Docker My current infrastructure consists of several servers, all running Debian Stable. System Updates are andled automatically via unattended-upgrades. Se...
