@snacks also hotplugging not working is normal. its weirder when it does work and usually indicative of a usb adapter

@snacks yea i do not know what happened because i literally did not touch the motherfucking thing but its broken now. i broke it somehow. i cant even learn from the experience because i dont know what i did wrong

@coolbean technically stuff can just break from hotplugging if it's not designed for it, had something similar happen with the emmc on my pinebook killing the mb

@coolbean if you look online a lot of people will assure you they're hotpluggable because the protocol is designed for it. Completely ignoring the protocol is also for sd cards and mezzanine connectors are not designed to be hotpluggable at all

@snacks im not fucking having it i did nothing wrong and certainly nothing that would permanently break my keyboard especially since it does still react to when i boot (lock key indicators light up). just no inputs go through after that
