I saw the New Mac Mini on display
(programming.dev)
I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isn’t so tight.
But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isn’t. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing it’s light?
Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.
Why not use the menu? If you're using the computer every day, you have a moment where you log out. Why not shut down in like, 2 commands/clicks?
And then to turn it back on???
Yes? Via keyboard activation?? These machines are not intended to be shut down regularly. They are slept.
Seems like this is not possible with apple’s keyboard
No. You are an idiot. If you shut it down. It doesn’t not turn back on by keyboard activation. lol. You HAVE to press the power button.
Right. What button is your finger on to turn it off? Then you turn it on, walk away, and it's in sleep.
I use the shut down in the menu. I do not press a button to turn it off. Are you really this dense?
So you're still at one button interaction with a feature you aren't intended to use regularly. Is this really worth being uncivil about?
I’m not being uncivil. You are ignoring an obvious design issue and defending it while acting like I must conform to your stupid way of existing. I won’t. And I’m not being uncivil. I’m rejecting your retardation bleeding into my life.
Called me an idiot and used "r" as an insult is pretty fucking uncivil, especially discussing a button on a computer, where I've met your every scenario.
Stop talking to me
Rule 2, no personal attacks. Reported.
shrugs whatever makes you feel better about your opinions friend.
Good luck learning to use your Mac lol
Thanks! I’ll consider this a personal attack. As you are clearly insinuating I’ll have lost access here. And being rude. Classy and idiotic behavior. There are many more communities I can learn from. And I’ll be happy to stay far away from people like you lol
