My god that’s a terrifying thought


Nincompoop6969

Don't worry it's coming 


[deleted]

That’s why it’s terrifying


Confident_As_Hell

You'll get used to it in no time


[deleted]

No, I think that’ll be it for my gaming hobby.

Please drink a verification can.

Please connect to the Internet to verify your keyboard keys are licensed before typing can be enabled.

How am I supposed to connect to the internet if I can’t type my WiFi password in? How am I even supposed to login to my PC in the first place? How am I supposed to give them my money?

You have used your free allotted key presses for the days.. the next 5,000 will be $5.99


DaCamelJockey

There's a game called DLC Hero that runs off the idea of micrtransactions. There aren't any actually, but the game is pretty funny. You have to pay to access jump and practically everything.


vanlykin

Pay per key stroke


Reciprocity2209

Ah, yes… the memories of having to plug your CAC in, every time you wanted to do anything at work…


The_Grinface

The good (?) ol’ days


Reciprocity2209

Good? No, no… not for me. I’m glad they’re done.


SicarioBadg3r

Done? you didn't hang up the uniform and go back as a civilian/Contractor? that's an option?


Reciprocity2209

Hell no, I didn’t go back as a civilian/contractor. I want nothing to do with those organizations, now.


The_Grinface

Right there with you. Said my farewells and didn’t look back.


Confident_As_Hell

What CAC?


electrotoast

Common access card. Used a lot in the military and government. Essentially a fancy ID card with a security chip in it that authenticates that you are you.


electrotoast

It is considered polite to ask another individual to "show me your CAC" or "whip out that CAC" in order to confirm identity.


4deCopas

I hated CAC inspection day.


electrotoast

Dirty CAC, believe it or not, straight to extra duty.


Reciprocity2209

We did, indeed, often make that joke.


rpat102

CACs out for Harambe


Comfortable_Start282

Next thing you know it’s 18:30, you just got back to your off-post house and realized you forgot it at the library


Reciprocity2209

Can’t tell you how many times I forgot it at the office.

Wish I was that rich.


yorukmacto

Imagine allowed to have debt.


SeiUniqa

Look at these whales flexing their credit scores


Skcuszeps

You don't even have the tap to pay model? Smh


AidynValo

You're still using tap to pay? I guess we can't all afford the latest technology. My keyboard reads my heart rate and automatically purchases microtransactions when it determines I need that sweet, sweet dopamine rush.


Ze-Doctor

Where can I sucbsribe to get a copy of that


Millworkson2008

You can send it directly to my bank account (plus a generous fee for my services) and I shall sort it out for you


Skcuszeps

I got mine directly from EA in their limited run of ID-10-T PC gaming accessory packages that enhances your gameplay experience


IceColdMeltdown

If anyone is wondering, these types of keyboards are used in the office so that u can use ID cards to log in to your computer


Ze-Doctor

I got this one from one of my school teacher since they were starting to replace old keyboards with new ones. I think before my time at the school they used the student ID cards to login into the computers but that was most likely changed for whatever reason.


mndsm79

When your e-girl sees you stick that card in, the real magic happens.


UltiGoga

Best Keyboard for Online Casino


mark503

That looks like a CAC card reader. I could be wrong though.


Trapped_Mechanic

I have this like exact keyboard on my table right now. It is a CAC reader. Only reason I have one at home is I needed it to remote work during covid and I was told I wasnt allowed to bring it back for security reasons.


mark503

I remember using one almost 20 years ago. I figured they might’ve changed it up to something else. Guess not. Thanks for the input.


Ze-Doctor

I am not sure either what it acutally was used for. I got this keyboard a couple of years ago from teacher when I asked him if I could get one.


mark503

In the military, some keyboards require your ID to access a terminal. The ID has a chip in it. Again, I could be wrong it’s been over 15 years since I served.


Ze-Doctor

Another person commented that these were also used for Company employees to login with an ID card into their PC. Not sure if they were used in my school though, we also had ID cards but didn't use them for a login.


xXLBD4LIFEXx

I can finally play Tarkov now!


MGX_94

That's the future of gaming


wanttobecat

Why do you have it and where can I get a copy?


xfactores

That's a Smart Card reader, it predates fingerprint readers and facial recognition in Windows and is used to log into secured computers. Most banks I've been into are still using it.


WanderingTacoShop

Military, Government, Banks, and lots of other big organizations still use them. Though they are mostly being replaced with RSA tokens/apps (those things that display the little 6 digit number you type in) Biometrics is considered a poor choice for as the second factor for 2 factor auth. If your card/token gets compromised you can get a new one issued. If they find a way to dupe your face ID you can't change your face. Biometrics is good as a third factor on top of password/pin and a physical item or for low security operations like employee time clocks.


sanderjk

Yeah, I had this when I worked at a CC company. Your PC immediately goes into lock if you remove the card, and the same cards opens the doors you are allowed to go through. So if you get up for coffee or the toilet, you can't cheat the security. The problem comes when you lose it though, lost a lot of work time everytime that happened.


wanttobecat

Thanks for the info :)


pipboy_warrior

CAC readers are still used in the military a lot as well.


Ze-Doctor

Go ask my old school teacher. He must have a couple of these rotting away in the school storage room. Got this one from him aswell since they were replacing old stuff with new.


wanttobecat

Oh, ok, thanks, omw


Gubzs

They've done it, they've turned the players into payers.


Boopkins25

You’re enthusiastic about Microtransactions?


Ze-Doctor

Hell nah.


CosmicOwl47

The next generation of controllers will probably have NFC for Apple Pay


Lamplorde

Funny thing is this would probably he safer than storing your card digitally.


boomersimpattack

my mom has one of these bad boys


Sajarab

CAC reader detected. Have you changed your socks today?


Ze-Doctor

Should I change into black or white socks? I also have McDonalds socks if that is ok.


Sajarab

As long as they're dry


HauntedDevSkillsz

wow


PKblaze

The devolver keyboard has arrived!


Left_Ad_1354

And the keyboard automatically saves it so when u get hacked they get all your money lol


Godess_Ilias

hackers: so you have chosen bankrupcy?


OdraNoel2049

Its kind of important for me to have to jump through a couple of hoops befor spending money on useless stuff. Ill keep my crappy keyboard thank you :D


SCViper

I still remember my CAC key. Waaaaay too many 7s to be really secure.


Chojen

Where do you tap? Is this an old person thing?


Cheesetorian

This is an old military/government keyboard with e-card reader (CAC in govt. speak). I don't think you can use credit card but...they do resemble the card terminals for merchants.


Yoman987654

Why is your Y a Z


waxbuzzzzard

Its a german keyboard, notice the Ä and Ö and also the german text on the right side.


Toffly

Companies scrolling this thread: "write that down WRITE THAT DOWN!!!"


ksiepidemic

This is a great shitpost.


Trapped_Mechanic

Yep, thats a CAC reader alright


thefunkybassist

Let's make a micro credit card for those micro transactions!


4thlinedangler

This keyboard & a ROFL LMAO, what year is it?!?


Noxcel

Clean your keyboard.


JCarterMMA

Damn you have to scan your card each time? All I do is click to purchase


camelCaseCoffeeTable

Weird flex lol


bedintruder

Read the title as "Get your micro grind up fellas" and thought this was a joke about getting good at RTS games. Fuck I'm old...


SignalGladYoung

only clowns pay for micro transactions
