Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

I thought it was satire at first, because the magic mouse has a charging port on the bottom making it unusable when charging

Turns out its not 🤡

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

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

I’m not really trying to come to Apple’s defense here as they don’t need it, but everyone reacting as though this is as bad as or worse than the mouse charging port seems to be ignoring the fact that most computers nowadays don’t need to be manually turned off or on with any level of frequency. People will push this button like once or twice a month I imagine. I don’t see why that’s the end of the world.

I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.

You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.
