“How often do you push the power button anyway?” is the “you’re holding the phone wrong” of 2024

@babble_endanger It’s simple, to power on the new MacBooks you just squeeze each side of the laptop with exactly 2.8 Newtons of force. Don’t go over 3 though, that is the “reformat the hard drive” gesture
-
@401matthall You would think! AND YET

@jalefkowit the thing people don't understand is that this is an upgrade: the minis/studios have always had the power button on the back next to all the cables so you can't turn it around to look without having to unplug everything. instead of jamming your fingers around cables blindly now it's a straight shot to find the little sucker

@401matthall @jalefkowit While we're at it, can we go back to physical buttons in cars? Touch screens do not belong in vehicles!
-
I'm doing my best to support this initiative by not buying new vehicles.
I don't think it's making a dent, though.

@401matthall @allenstenhaus There has started to be a move back towards physical controls, thanks in part to EU regulators
Future cars could ditch touchscreens and bring back buttons – all in the name of safety
Euro NCAP wants cars to switch back to switches, stalks and buttons

@jalefkowit @401matthall Gods how I want Motorola to bring back something like the Droid 3. Loved that phone.
-
Which Droid was it that had _physical_ keyboard buttons?
It had a slide-out keyboard AND buttons. Not f'ing stickers that one of the later versions had.
-
@401matthall @jalefkowit The original droid, the 2 and the 3 all had physical buttons for the keyboard keys.

@401matthall @mhkohne There were a _lot_ of Droid-branded devices, from Moto and others. (The Droid brand name was owned by Verizon.)

@jalefkowit how long until "Fine, you want it on the front? Here's our new $139.99 keyboard with a power button. You must upgrade to this keyboard to turn your Mac on"?

@timixretroplays "Simply buy an iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max and install the new Power Button app"
