That would be your belief that it's not unreasonable to have to physically pick up and upend a desktop computer in order to turn it on. For the rest of human civilization, the concept alone is ridiculous.
No. It's not Apple's fault I configured my desktop to be efficient and ergonomic. It is their fault that they first made a large screen iMac (with an inaccessible SD card slot on the back) which was best suited for my needs, then discontinued that product which required I replace it with a Mini (and third party monitor equalling more than the price of the iMac), put the button on the Mini which is nearly impossible to feel in the first place, left out an SD card slot requiring that I purchase accessories to reasonably use my computer for computing, and then created a replacement product which requires unplugging things from it and physically lifting it up to turn it on, hindering the ability for a reasonably efficient desktop configuration to be upended so they could save a couple dollars on their product.
Please, you can feel however you want about this but it's an objective fact that this is not a reasonable location for a computer power button. I really don't care that much other than the fact that that I'm already prepared to not replace my current Mini with another Mini. The Studio Mac will probably be my next computer because it reasonably has a power button in an accessible-ish location and comes with an SD card slot; even though it's far more computing power than I'll ever need and more than I can reasonably afford.
I would imagine you also believe it's "reasonable" to forgo an SD card slot in favor of plugging your camera into the computer or having to purchase one or more accessories to reasonably use a desktop computer to add files to it.
Edit: I will note, to Apple's credit, they put the headphone jack on the front. It's sad how awesome something so obvious can be.
I don’t want to have to unbuild my desktop and unplug everything from my computer just to turn it back on. I don’t even know how I would use this computer in my setup. Because Apple didn’t want to expose a power button. Or because they chose to cut corners.
Apple fanboy here. This will prevent me from upgrading from my M2 Pro Mini. I'll likely end up buying a Studio at some point if they don't come out with an iMac Pro.
It's genuinely one of the dumbest things Apple has done. And that list is growing with nearly every product they release.
I just got banned from a sub for trying to explain this exact thing. Their response was "not that's not how voting works - if I vote for a person, they get my vote. If I don't vote for someone, they don't get my vote." and "Harris is literally saying the same thing." I sent a thank you to the mod for banning me because my brain was breaking.
No, refusing to vote for Harris is not, in fact, a vote for Trump. That’s not how voting works and you are a literal baby if you think not voting for a specific candidate is inherently a vote for another.
A third party vote is the same as not voting. Not voting in a presidential election means you don't care who wins. I'll give you that. However, you seem to be someone who does care about the outcome of the election and is in support of minimizing conflict in the Middle East. If that's the case, Trump has informed us that he intends to destroy the region by permitting Netanyahu to eliminate the Palestinians. So, by not voting, you are choosing to not let your voice be heard in the matter.
By not voting for the viable candidate that most aligns with your philosophies, you are increasing the risk of the other candidate's victory.
I'm not here to hold a college course on the fifty plus year history of the US supporting Israel and preventing global terrorism. I don't have the time to pull up the library's worth of data that existed prior to October 7th.
I ask that you pretend October 7th didn't exist and then start researching what all presidents since Carter have done for Israel and especially Donald Trump. And why.
You can be opposed to Israel's excessive use of force while still supporting the Biden administration's actions. I'm not happy about all of Biden's actions. I believe he should be standing more firm about his support but I'm not in the room during these negotiations. I don't have access to classified CIA documents. What we do know is that Iran is an active threat to the United States and other countries and, without Israel as an ally, the world would be under grave threat of international war.
Please do yourself a favor and look into the 50+ year history of the US sending arms to Israel. You'll find that it's not possible for the US to completely pull out of supporting them with military aid.
I really don't understand how people keep forgetting that DONALDFUCKINGTRUP is the other option. He would literally nuke the area given the chance and has said as much.
That is a lie. The United States supports Israel because of its position in the region. To defend democracy and economies in the region, the US has to negotiate with the Israel terrorist state. Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone in the region and has fully supported Netanyahu's genocide. The current conflict is largely due to Trump's actions as president and Biden's inaction as president.
Trump openly told Netanyahu to eradicate the Palestinians. Trump has empowered Israel over and over again. if anyone gained anything during Trump's presidency it was Israel.
And yet here we have an unbiased explanation about tariffs, how they would be worse for everyday Americans under Trump, and how Biden continued Trump's previous tariffs.
