reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn't the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?
The typewriter obviously wouldn't have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user's input?
If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM's Bundling
There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.

I thought at worst it'd be a typewriter with a vga or ps2 hookup but this is worse than I thought
having to use that and only that means you're gigafucked💀
