Please don't ever turn your computer off, it makes it really hard to spy on you. Thanks -Apple

Oh no, I'll have to slightly lift a tiny box on my desk several times a year!

I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.

You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.

Here we go again making mountains out of mole hills for Apple.

I am all for calling out Apple for their treatment of workers in ASIA, or their wealth, heck even the closed garden, but this… nah fam I don’t care where the button is.

It's stupid. Do you need any other reason to laugh at it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it really that stupid though. And is it any worse than flush with the back of the computer so you can never tell if you've hit it until you've really pressed the button or it bongs?
