At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this

I just stuck a Belgium post WW2 MP helmet on mine, pretty effective at keeping my power button safe. Just like how judging frok the dent it kept some Belgian from getting their head caved in by a beer bottle.

Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

it opens up a whole new surface for things. Soon there will be a dozen USB C ports on the bottom and you'll need to buy special apple right angle cables to access them that they charge $30 per 1m cable.

excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

i mean fuck where the power button of a product ill probably never need is.

Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

More like laughing at what they were not going to buy anyway.

I'm still laughing at the mouse you can't use while it's charging

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

True innovation tho. There was no other mouse you couldn't use while charging.

Excuse me. Some of us do buy Apple products. And there's nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
