Yeah I love these fuckin laptops that put the power button somewhere random in the middle of the keyboard where you might accidentally press.
I can’t imagine what goes through the mind of the genius who came up with this shit. Im guessing it was some guy who worked his way up to middle management in a Chinese manufacturing sweatshop, and then managed to sell clients on the idea that they could cut costs because he knew a quick hack to run the wires to the power supply.
On KDE Plasma, pressing the power button by default shows an array of buttons for lock, sleep, hibernate, power off, and restart! Very neat I think. You can change this of course, and you can even configure it so that the behaviour changes depending on if you are plugged in, on battery, or in low power mode! I think that is really cool :0
Windows is a bit weird sometimes. On most Linux DEs there is this functionality, and I believe MacOS also has something similar.
I do know that Windows lets you change whether the power button shuts down or makes your screen go to sleep (which doesn't kill all your programs), so you could do that.
On a related note, I hate that you need to click the small button in the start menu to restart on Windows. On Linux, typing "restart" in the search field pops up the option, making it super quick for troubleshooting and that sort. One more reason why Linux is superior to Windows I guess!
The late comic strip User Friendly did this best back in the day. To the point that its take on it is currently the example on its Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Friendly
I never knew what this Sticky Key thing did. (EDIT: After months wondering, I searched for it, and turns out I should have turned it on, it's a helpful tool.)
Its worst when you ask ppl how they got in this situation and they go I dk "the last person told me to do this" knowing full well no they didnt and I have to spend an hour figurjng out wtf they did to undo it all.
Power button? Reset button? PSU switch? Clear CMOS button?
Let's try and press them all!
LUKS header disk emergency destroy button? *boop!
I pressed the button next to the power socket on the wall.
I've found our UK friend
The Bri'Ish Matey.
*rings doorbell*
I pressed my jacket button.
That's why there's a distinction between buttons and keys
Is there though?
That's just shit design. Even on keyboards with Power button I've seen, they're usually distinctly shaped and coloured.
“Oh, I’ll need this info later, I better take a screenshot”
fatfingers the power button
Me trying to press F12 in the dark

Windows (10 and 11 at the very least) shutdowns upon pressing it

I use KDE Plasma, but I believe both GNOME and Cinnamon have it too from my experience.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen such a tiny backspace key.
More like a back-no-space key
Just pressed my car key its very loud
Where's the Any button?!
Oooh, I think I'll order a Tab.

I like the comic. Made me lol. The site is down and the domain unavailable. Where can I get he 13 years worth of comics?
The Internet Archive has a 184MB .cbz file that allegedly contains them all here: https://archive.org/download/user-friendly-comic. Likewise, much of the site itself is archived there.
Be aware that they're not all going to be winners like the A-N-Y strip is.
🥰 thanks
Me: presses button on shirt
How about the Turbo button?
Is this 1992? Where’s my dinosaur? Will someone go to prom with me?
Just rollerblade over to my house, we'll play some Super Nintendo and drink Mello Yello.
Remember ALF? He's back. In pog form.
Now he's just pushing the IT guy's buttons
You’re really pressing his buttons there
Press enter to continue

*Laser noises intensify*

It did what it did whether you pressed yes or no
I pressed the turbo button
I'm convinced that button did nothing
It did. You used it to make your CPU slower for old timing-dependent games
So its unturbo really?
Yeah, they probably inverted it because it's weird to market a “slow” button
My 386 had turbo on practically all the time except when playing earlier era games where half speed made them playable
It really was an unturbo button
My computer was just that slow
I love that guy's face, I can't NOT laugh. Damn, what's the name of the movie again??
Never seen it but Monster House it seems.
Yess! Thank you!
