Interesting fact of the day: Current technology can recover your typed keys with 96% accurately from only a sound recording of you typing.

@freemo you do know that this is bound to make people so paranoid that they will swap micro switches on their keyboard around every couple of days? 😄

@gpowerf good :) Would have to be every few minutes though... doesnt take long to figure out the keys on a new keyboard.

@freemo now you got me thinking. There’s a challenge here to be met. There’s got to be a way to create a keyboard that randomises the sound it emits artificially. Surely there’s a market for a high security keyboard.

@gpowerf keep in mind its not about the key itself. Its actually kore about its position on the keyboard. To make it secure the keyboard would likely need to morph its shape

@freemo you'd have to actually swap letter positioning. Doable... but your typing speed will seriously suffer 😀
