whee, computer just 100% froze up ,couldn't even move the mouse

I was just playing final fantasy xiv on it, don't know what happened

@Felthry i read somewhere that the caps lock light on your keyboard is handled by the kernel so now whenever my computer freezes i try to toggle caps lock to see if the kernel is stuck

i don't know why i do that, i don't handle it any differently if it is

@monorail huh. wonder if that's true even today, or if that only held for old keyboards before USB or something

then again, some of those old keyboards did their caps lock on the keyboard itself so *shrug*

@monorail @Felthry usually kernel panics make the caps lock light blink
