Fuck Google for forcing Android smartphone's power button to activate the frigging AI assistant.
If you like me don't give a flaming shit about AI assistants and just want your power button back, navigate your device settings to "Gestures" and you should find an option to switch your power button back to... being a fucking power button.
I wish I could personally slap hard in the teeth whoever greenlit this absolute fuckery. They have to shove AI down your throat, no matter if you want it or not, don't they?

@fnordius @koehntopp @bricks yeah but re: power button issues there are several simple solutions everyone else supports:

  • Just disconnect the power button
  • Have it at the rear (or a reset button that needs a paperclip to be pressed)
  • Offer UEFI settings to change the behaviour by the owner

But no, Apple has to "think different" in the worst possible way!

  • They literally have SATA cables (!) Inside laptops (!!) failing through no fault of the users/owners!!!

Soooo ...

... the all-new Mac Mini actually has a power button. Not on the front. Not on the back. And definitely not on one of the two sides of the chassis.

Hold it.

It's beneath the Mac Mini. Which is quite tiny in comparison to previous iterations of the computer.

This High-Tech is brought to you by the company, which puts the power connection of the so-called "Magic" mouse beneath the Mouse.

So "You're holding it wrong" has arrived in 2024, Ladies & Gents.
