3d print a stand with an opening to reach the switch.

It looks like they knew people were going to do that, as they branded the bottom of the device.

I never power down my laptop. I would treat a mini the same. Power consumption is also very similar to that of a MacBook. So this is really not a big deal.

Wait until people hear the Apple TV doesn’t even have a power button…

Tim Cook:

This is what you assholes get for shitting on the Magic Mouse charging port location so much.

Shut up or the power cable is next.

I suspect a printable finger extender will be available soon.

There's a good reason in the the first sentence of the review.

Don't expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you're going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.

I don't know if Mac minis have an environmentally friendly hibernate mode for those who can't shutdown their pcs.

Yes, it can be set to sleep (or even shut down) on idle. It also supports Wake on LAN. You can also set it to start up on a schedule, or automatically restart after a power failure. Putting the power button on the bottom is really no big deal.

I couldn't help but read that as wake on Ian not wake one lan.

I was wondering who Ian is and what he has to do with Apple

[–] reddig33 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ian is the little man who lives inside the computer and listens for network signals knocking at his door

Ah see i thought he lived on a boat and that's why he had so many ports
