Fantastic!

Imagine that pressing keys on my keyboard changes the current demanded
by my computer from its power supply. Does each key demand a different
amount of current? And even if so, does that difference lasts long
enough to do what, exactly? I cannot imagine it lasts as long a 1/60 of
a second. And even if it did, the output capacitor from the power supply
would soak the change up, before the output circuit of the switching
regulator got hold of it. And the noise the switching regulator might
put on the power line would completely hide any signal from the
keyboard. And most nicely designed switching regulators have input
filters to protect themselves from spikes, etc., on the power lines, and
they work in the reverse direction too.
