  • but you don’t have to go to a specific menu for it. Just press and walk away.

    IDK why you need to do that, I use a hotkey on my keyboard.
    So regarding speaking for yourself, how about you respect that not everyone do like you do, but your way is the only kind of hardware that exist.
    I am not the arrogant one here, you are.

    A physical power key on a desktop computer should physically shut off power IMO, but that option doesn’t exist anymore. And from an energy preserving perspective that is bad.




  • That switch is hard to reach, and basically useless, it’s better to unplug the cable.

    The power button does a graceful shutdown

    Which is pretty useless, because you normally shut down through software, and if you can’t do that, the system has likely crashed anyway, so it’s better to shut down fast, than having a crashed program causing damage.


  • That’s exactly how our stupid Siemens dishwasher works. You have to press the power button for ½ a second, and then it only shows that it registered when you release it!
    But if you press it for 3 seconds you make a factory reset.
    And you have to press the power button first before you can do anything!?!?
    Why not just allow people to choose the program they want, and have it turn on with that?

    I have a tendency to press those buttons way harder than necessary, because it feels like they aren’t working! 🤡
    Last time I ever buy anything from Siemens, it’s simply too demented.


  • Absolutely this. Why do I have to press the power button for 3 seconds to force it to shut down?
    If I made a bad overclock that could fry my system, I want it to shut off immediately!!
    In the good old days, we had a REAL power button on the front of our desktop computers, that physically shut off power to the PSU.
    And the computer didn’t use any power when not used.
    This idea of pressing a button for x seconds before it does what it should have done instantly is moronic IMO.

    Seems to me the city did something for show that doesn’t work, and might as well no be there.
    As I sted before, the poles and trashcan are not vandalized, it seem like these “lockers” were clearly targeted, probably because it’s a shit system for the people it was supposed to benefit.
    Hopefully after this, the city will stop wasting money on a system that doesn’t work anyway.
