   Yes, I think that's right, you've found the root of the issue. Thanks for that link. Not great, I expected better from Apple.

   Right, but I deleted the app and all its data. I made sure there was no other app from the same vendor left on the device. I checked the "Passwords" and there was no entry for these apps (I think that's the only place for the

   I tried that, and it still has access to account username on reinstall.

   No, I made sure I had only instagram installed and no other app from the same vendor.

   Interesting, thank you. Did you compare it to other methods and found it better?

    Thanks for the idea. I think it's a great one, but I have a few concerns: 1) The two computers are on 2 different grounds, so I believe it could damage the computers. So I would like to isolate the ground somehow, I am not sure what th

    I see, you are unplugging and re-plugging, instead of just pressing a button. That makes sense. It feels like a usb mechanical switch should exist, but I guess it does not. Another option that I looked at is whether I could use the switchin

    That's interesting, thanks for sharing. > Modern peripherals may have local storage Do you mean the flash that contains the code for the microcontroller? > I have a dumb USB switch I am not 100% sure I understood. Is the "du

    No problem at all, I didn't interpret it as sarcastic.

    Well, nothing malicious, and it would be to use between 2 of my own computers.

    Thanks for your thoughts. That all sound fair. I am fine with having quite a bit of configuration on the target device (I am fine with configuration on both sides). > it ought be possible to make a rpi0 device that outputs a usb-gadget k

    Thanks for that, that's an interesting thought. I am trying to think about the security aspect. If the receiving device (mac mini) is infected with malware, can it infect the macBook through the serial port?

    That's absolutely fair, and I am fine with writing software for both computers. However, I need this software to not go via the network at all.

    To try and clarify a bit: I am essentially trying to have a KM (KVM without the V) over USB. To go one step higher, I am trying to control a mac mini from the keyboard of a macBook.

    Thanks, but I want to avoid IP. I want a system that does not go via the network at all.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that using software would be easier, but I wanted to do it in hardware in this specific case. I am unfamiliar with Raspberry pi, but if my understanding is correct, it's running a real os. So I would n

    Interesting, I don't know these. I assume you have a little software on the controlling computer that sends keystrokes over the network, they are received by this device, and sent via usb to the controller computer, simulating a usb ke

    Thanks for the pointers. The two devices are in 2 distinct security perimeters. So I was hoping to avoid software that link the two. I don't know if malware could use these software to propagate from one of the device to the other.
