   The new M4 Mac Mini has a badly designed power button, hidden underneath at the back. Look at this fun solution!

   (Not an ad. I haven’t tried this. It looks fun though!)

     @phnt @mattgrayyes @mischievoustomato cant just make a normal power button, it has to be different and unique in the worst way possible

     @phnt @mattgrayyes @david its apple, it probably can be on standby, and i remember that @sapphire said that people don't even need to touch the power button once to turn it on and then it's "set"

     @mischievoustomato @mattgrayyes @david It's a desktop computer. How else are you supposed to turn it on? And keeping it turned on all the time isn't the right answer. Or at least the normal one.
