I guess you now have to pick up the Mac mini and press the power button on the bottom?

@marioguzman, can macOS be configured to turn on the computer by pressing any key on the external keyboard, just like on MacBooks?
-
@frngr @marioguzman Bring back power keys on the keyboard!!!
Better yet, lemme plug in my Apple Extended Keyboard II and call it a day!

@octothorpe @frngr @marioguzman While ultimately it wan’t for me, I recently got an AEK II hooked up to my mini with a homemade one of these:
tmk_keyboard/converter/adb_usb/README.md at master · tmk/tmk_keyboard
Keyboard firmwares for Atmel AVR and Cortex-M. Contribute to tmk/tmk_keyboard development by creating an account on GitHub.

Premade solutions exist, too.
On this power button though, smh. It obsoletes a bunch of under-desk and wall mounts, at the very least.
-
@incanus @frngr @marioguzman Yeah, I have an *ancient* ADB to USB-A converter (it's translucent blue, so you can date it that way!) that works… except the power button.
-
@octothorpe @frngr @marioguzman Some of them, like the Griffin iMate, have an undocumented battery inside to enable the power button. If yours does, it might just be dead!
-
@incanus @frngr @marioguzman iiiinteresting. I haven’t used it in ages, but it’d be good to check.
