Refactored by HaxNobody to extend functionalty and add comments for my own understanding

This program will send USB HID keyboard presses to bring the Zoom window into
the foreground and activate microphone and video functions.
 * A momentary press on button 1 will toggle mute on or off.
 * Press and hold button 1 to activate PTT (Push-to-Talk) functionality.

Lenovo ideapad 330 (15ARR) ubuntu issues and their solutions

Issue-1: None of the ubuntu distros are getting installed

Solution: Ubuntu distros lower than 18.10 will not work in this laptop, as minimum kernal version required is 4.18.

So install ubuntu 18.10 / xubuntu 18.10 / lubuntu 18.10 / kubuntu 18.10 in UEFI mode

Issue-2: Wifi is not working

     --page-requisites \ # Get all assets/elements (CSS/JS/images).
     --adjust-extension \ # Save files with .html on the end.

Using a rotary encoder as a volume control

On my RetroPie machine I wanted a hardware volume knob — the games I play use a handful of emulators, and there's no unified software interface for controlling the volume. The speakers I got for my cabinet are great, but don't have their own hardware volume knob. So with a bunch of googling and trial and error, I figured out what I need to pull this off: a rotary encoder and a daemon that listens for the signals it sends.

Rotary encoder

A rotary encoder is like the standard potentiometer (i.e., analog volume knob) we all know, except (a) you can keep turning it in either direction for as long as you want, and thus (b) it talks to the RPi differently than a potentiometer would.

I picked up this one from Adafruit, but there are plenty others available. This rotary encoder also lets you push the knob in and treats that like a button press, so I figured that would be useful for toggling mute on and off.
