This is ridiclous
Hahaha I thought this was the onion and the button was the big fugly thing that covers the whole bottom
Introducing the new Apple Power Bottom.
Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.
Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this “feature”.
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?
Just run it upside down.
Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow
At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
This is fake right
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…
How is this newsworthy… smh
Guess the Magic Mouse design team was getting bored
Asahi Linux 👀
?
Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.
if it didn’t make us angry, and INFLUENCE OTHER BUSINESSES TO DO THE SAME REPUGNANT SHIT, we’d be buying it.
More like laughing at what they were not going to buy anyway.
I thought it was satire at first, because the magic mouse has a charging port on the bottom making it unusable when charging
Turns out its not 🤡
I’m not angry. I’m just confused.
Don’t worry, there will be suitable USB accessories available for this.
Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.
Only $299!
“that’s insane!”
gets wallet out
“I can’t believe this!”
gets out card
“unbelievable!”
And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.
The generic Chinese version that does the same thing: $12
No, it’ll be paired to specifically to your computer and doesn’t work on anyone else’s computer.
It’s going to Bluetooth since the Chinese version does not want to pay for the licensing fees.
Does macOS respond to external keyboard power button presses because if so this could very well be as easy money-making real product
Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
Imagine! a computer that you can’t use while it’s plugged in.
I think they call that Windows.
