How to screenshot BIOS - screenshot

I need to make screenshot of BIOS Award 1984-2009 F8 setup for my Project without using devices like camera. Is there any way to do it? I tried some emulators, but they won't work.

In some UEFI putting an USB key and pressing F12 works. Hope it helps one person at least.

Adafruit hid switch keyboard layout

That's probably a stranger question, but I built a little rubber ducky with a Raspberry pi pico. Now the problem is the keyboard layout is in us but I would like to change it to de (German) but don't know how to do it. The layout is saved as an Mpy file and I used adafruit for it. So the adafruit hid it or is there a better variant for it? I hope this was the right one.
Assuming you have raspi-config available, run this at a terminal prompt:
sudo raspi-config
It should launch a configuration tool that includes localisation options, which would include keyboard layout.
The question is not very clear, I will clarify that rubber ducky is a software that simulates keyboard input to computer. The basic layout for the input is US keyboard.
You can find more layouts including installation guide here: https://github.com/Neradoc/Circuitpython_Keyboard_Layouts

Android Studio "extract method" shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M not working

The android studio shortcut for extract function is not working for me. If I press Ctrl+Alt+M nothing is happening and when I tried to remap it to the same shortcut, I noticed that android studio doesn't seem to recognize the shortcut at all. So I tested my keyboard and everything should be working. I even reinstalled AS no dice.
I found out that Nvidia Geforce Experience was capturing Ctrl + Alt + M shortcuts from android studio, even though I wasn't running any game, and didn't run any game recently.
To disable this annoyance go to Nvidia Geforce Experience settings and disable in-game overlay.
If it does't work check other program that you installed recently for some kind of overlay, hotkey or keyboard shortcut capturing.
I think some program captures this hotkey. See https://superuser.com/questions/1282799/what-is-preventing-ctrl-alt-m-from-reaching-intellij-on-windows-10, https://superuser.com/questions/11308/how-can-i-determine-which-process-owns-a-hotkey-in-windows. After an hour of finding hotleys with these programs I still don't know which one is capturing.
I tried some programs to show a list of Windows hotkeys. I tried to assign new hotkeys in AS and other applications (Libre Office). They don't catch Ctrl+Alt+M and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M, while catch other.
Currently I use Ctrl+Alt+,, I added it to shortcuts (see below). You can also use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T, then press 8. Or Ctrl+AltGr+M (right Alt).
UPDATE
On self-isolation I carried a PC home. Plugged another keyboard, now Ctrl+Alt+M works. Even if I assign this combination to other applications like Libre Office.
For Mac users: Command + Option + M
Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M is assigned to other function in Android Studio, search it and change shoorcut. It will works
Besides what is already suggested as a culprit (Nvidia Geforce Experience in-game overlay), I found out another one.
When you have Macrium Reflect installed on your machine, the same shortcut will open a blank window (which is initially hidden in bakground, by the way, so the connection was not so evident).
I'm not sure what's the purpose of this windows, but right there you have the chance to enable/disable that shortcut, as in following picture:

Combination of RIGHT CTRL, RIGHT SHIFT and an ARROW key not repeating

This is perhaps my first post ever, asking for help on a Windows related problem and I already did all I could to resolve the problem myself but to no avail.
OS: Windows 10.0
Machine: Dell Inspiron 5559 (it's new so I know there is nothing wrong with the hardware)
Here is the predicament I am faced with:
When I use a combination of the RIGHT CTRL, RIGHT SHIFT and an ARROW-KEY to let's say select text in a Word/Google document, the combination works once but does not repeat itself if I keep holding down the keys (it used to on my last laptop which had Windows 7 installed on it).
I have already checked the Ease of Access Center. Sticky, Toggle and Filter keys are all OFF.
I have disabled the Intel HD Graphics hotkeys.
I have researched probably about 20 articles but nothing.
Guys, this is very important for me to fix because I work with text a LOTTTT and have to use this combination very frequently. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
PS: LEFT CTRL, LEFT SHIFT and RIGHT (or LEFT) ARROW-KEYS combination still works and it repeats if I press and hold those keys.
But for whatever odd reason, RIGHT CTRL, RIGHT SHIFT and RIGHT (or LEFT) ARROW-KEYS combination is not repeating.
As a point of comparison: my Samsung Windows 10 laptop has the Intel HD Graphics 4000, but I am not running the Intel Graphics Toolbox (just the drivers).
CtrlShift< and …> auto-repeat fine for me - I use them all the time too!
CtrlAlt<, …>, …^ and … v are the rotate commands for me.
My suggestion? Remove the Intel Graphics Toolbox thingy (it doesn't do any more than native Windows does anyway...) and try again. I know you say you've disabled the hotkey features - but who knows if it really has?
I had the same exact thing happening on my PC. It was due to the "Intro" key of the numeric keypad being stuck. Release it and problem gone.
You can easily reproduce the issue by maintaining that key pressed on purpose.

Save screenshots on tvOS

The question is very simple, but i haven't found an answer.
How can i take a screenshot on tvOS?
In simulator is straightforward, just File -> Save Screenshot, but on a real device?
I already tried some combination of buttons, but nothing happened.
Let me know. Thank you.
With the Apple TV connected to your development machine via USB.
Steps
In XCode from the menu Window -> Devices
Select the Apple TV on the left representing your device.
On the device, configure the screen the way you want to capture it.
Click the Take Screenshot button.
It will save the screenshot to your development Mac
The new screenshot appears on the desktop.

How would you test a mouse? Describing as many test cases as possible?

A question that I have been asked by a professor? Not looking for someone to give me a direct answer but more an idea of how to answer as im quite confused by the Question?
Thanks
Assuming you're talking about the common Computer Pointing Device, not the rodent:
Imagine grabbing a brand new mouse hot off the factory assembly line. You want to test this sample mouse to make sure it functions correctly to the full satisfaction/expectation of whoever's grandma is gonna buy it.
How exactly would you test it? After doing what exactly would you conclude with 100% confidence that "OK, this mouse is perfectly good, no problems at all in any situation!" ?
You might plug it into a computer and see; does it get detected right away? Does it automatically setup the driver? Does it move around well? Does it click well? What if you're using Windows XP? What about Linux? What about inside virtual machines? What about with a USB extension wire? All of these "What If"s are called test cases; cases / situations that you'd want to test for to make sure the mouse works as expected even in that case / situation.
You can also test through..
1) which is the manufacturer company of that mouse
2) Is it required mouse pad ?
3) Is it wired/wireless mouse
4) maximum distance between mouse & device(Wireless mouse)
5) you can also check that "mouse can connect with more than one device same time.."
6) apple's mouse doesn't work in windows device...
