Why am I buying a machine that small if I need to make space for two separate keyboards? I can just buy a different thing instead.

Sure, but my keyboard doesn’t have a power button.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh, I had one of theses keyboards!
Pushing the snooze button insta crashed the PC.

How often do you use the power button to turn on your computer? These days I might use it once a year, at most!
Belgdore@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Literally every single time I use it. I only need it to be on when I’m using it, and I don’t use it every day.

How often do you use it, if not every day? Once a week? Once a month?
I use my laptop every day so it makes sense that I don’t use the power button even though it’s right there. I also have a raspberry pi set up to run Retropie that I only turn on once or twice a year when I have an old friend in from out of town. In that case I use the power button every single time but I don’t mind that it’s kind of finicky (I have to turn on several other devices with it as well as a power strip to power them all) because I don’t use it that often.
I could see the new Mac Mini being a bit annoying with its bottom side power button if you’re using it every other day. But honestly I would be more annoyed at the boot time taking 30s than the 2s it takes to reach under the case and power it up. If I had one I would probably just get the keyboard with built in power button and finger print reader though. I use the finger print reader on my laptop all the time because it unlocks my password manager.

Why? This isn’t 1998 anymore.
Well unless you have my shitty ass Thinkpad that can’t reliably go into S0 standby to save it’s life.
