Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.

What is the <--> port for? HTML? I thought that was port 80 or 443...

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

It's an Ethernet port. For some reason Apple decided <···> is the glyph to use for that.

I hate their refusal to use standardized symbols

They’ve used that exact same symbol since they first added an Ethernet port to their computers in the early 1990’s. It was one of the first mass-market computers with integrated Ethernet. It literally defined the standard when there was no standards body for such a thing.

The port that put the “i” in the original iMac

Html doesn't use any port, that's HTTP

This is peak nerd rage over something nobody is going to actually care about.

Seeth and bitch over minor design choices while apple prints money.

It looks like you can push the button without lifting the tiny computer.

Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

[-] xonigo@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

I guess you could flip it around and make the bottom the top 🙃

Oh no, I'll have to slightly lift a tiny box on my desk several times a year!

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Assuming you mount it on the back of something that would probably be a pretty good place.

I use a lot of mini Linux computers and mount them to the back of monitors. I could see this design being perfect for that except it's way more expensive lol

Well at least now you can actually see the damn black ports on the silver chassis. The M2 Mac Mini has the black ports on the black backside and it's such a pain in the ass trying to find the USB C ports when I have to connect something.

But yeah, putting the power button on the bottom is peak Apple stupidity.
