How is this newsworthy... smh

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

For shitty reasons. You have to sniff a lot of your own farts to think putting it there is a good idea. Its like they don't think their crap crashes. I just had to to a net install on two this week in our lab.

They clearly want you to let this one running 24/7, or, can you turn it on using the keyboard and that low power BT thing?

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don't have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can't do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y'all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.

Introducing the new Apple Power Bottom.

Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this "feature".

As long as your default mode is sleep it'd be ok. I touch my PCs power button only when it crashes so horribly that a forced shutdown is the only way out...

This is fake right

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

No, seems to be real.

[–] mausy5043@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, must be The Onion or smth

It's a bit of a bummer given the power of the machine it would be otherwise good in IT environments. The small size would allow a rack or stack of them. This one ~~feature~~ design choice makes that not possible. It's on purpose.

Just run it upside down.

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

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 hours ago
