12. input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input1

The kernel detected that you have a PC Speaker. I've no idea why it is
registered as an input device.

A speaker can be used as a microphone - maybe it is used as input for
surveilance (think 1984)?

19. lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

lo usually refers to the virtual loopback network interface. I've no
idea what those privacy extensions are.

Ah yes, more evidance - you don't need privacy extensions if Big Brother
is watching you.

Well - just kidding.


OTOH - speaker used as microphone works quite well, I used it as a kid to
listen to conversations of the grownups :)
