No, it's an unreversible hash function. I use this for passwords - no one will ever be able to figure out what ehntru2 was originally.

Initially I was sure you were talking about my Scoutmaster. (The details diverged in the end.) The expected arrival time for camping trips was always something like 9:59am - that way people would hopefully show up at 9-something or maybe just a few minutes late like 10:10. If the expected arrival time was 10:00, people would interpret it as 10-something and show up at 10:45.

$250k is a respectable amount, but shouldn't it be based on a percentage of their revenue? /s

The developer of curl has done an analysis of what percent of his CVEs would have been avoided in a memory safe language. I think the answer was a bare majority.

The issue may be that your filters act as ORs whereas someone might interpret them as ANDs. If I filter for Social+Kids and Culinary, the CBD/space cake ones come up.

How did they get to that forest 5 miles away?

Heads up, your resume link isn't publicly viewable.

I tried this with a Brother HL-L23200 printer and an old raspberry pi, and couldn't get it to work. Seemed like something in the stack was OOM'ing - it worked fine for just a page or two, but when I tried to print a longer document it would crap out. I gave up and now on the rare occasion when I need to print something I carry my laptop over and physically plug in the USB cord like a neanderthal.

The website is mine to modify. I wouldn't go to great lengths to change things to support virtual COM, but if it's just a question of adding a few lines of javascript to listen to virtual COM and map to keypress events that would be possible.

What do you mean by barcode numbers? UPCs? Barcodes can encode many many different things, some of which are internal, some are proprietary datasets you can buy/license for $$$, and so on.

Are you using Chromebooks specifically?

If so, can I ask which barcode scanner(s) you're using which does work? The easiest solution may just be to buy a different scanner.

I did also email the manufacturer - let's see if they have a solution.

Yes, the scanner is operating as a keyboard HID. I'll look into whether virtual COM could work. Will that still let it type into random webapp pages (how I use it now), or does that tie it rigidly to specific applications? (This question is based on this language from the Realinn manual - "9.2 USB virtual COM mode In USB virtual COM mode, the scanner needs to work with driver and serial software.Expected final behavior is that even if you open up another page, the scanned information will show up in the window of serial software. Please let us know if you need to set it to USB virtual COMmode，we will send you the driver."

I assume that Virtual COM works with both USB and bluetooth?
