Make button that fit big toe perfectly, get button pressed by big toe.

Logic.

[–] iveseenthat@reddthat.com 9 points 23 hours ago

Using foot to turn him on. Yes

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 83 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well it would be weird if I used someone else's toe to do it.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose

but you shouldn't pick your friends nose

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Unless you use their toe to do it.

Unless you have an indecisive friend planning for a Rhinoplasty.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me.

Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

Yes, and it's hella efficient

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

What makes you think I don't do that on my current computer?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I used everything but my finger.

How did you press the power button with itself?

[–] CrazyHorse@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] scytale@piefed.zip 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My toe was for the AVR and UPS. People who grew up in countries with unstable/unreliable electricity can relate. The family desktop computer was basically: power socket > AVR > UPS > computer, with the first two on the floor (therefore using feet to turn them on), and the system unit on the desk right beside the CRT monitor.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your UPS didn't also clean your voltage?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It did, but we already had an AVR long before the time small UPS units for home use became affordable enough, so we just added it in there in a series.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Ah, definitely makes sense.

[–] Xella@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

.. Do we have buttonless towers now or something? Just did this last night.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Mine specifically has a button on top and is in a position currently inaccessible by toe. I don't know if that is standard though. I know quite a few towers that still have them in front.

[–] Xella@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Tower companies saving their products from toe jam by moving the power button

[–] Emptiness@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I was just thinking the same. How does everyone else turn on their towers?

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Lotta towers have the button on top now, for airflow purposes I assume.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, just for turbo button.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I am old enough to know what that is, to have seen several of them in person, to have pressed several of them myself out of curiosity, but apparently too young to ever have seen any effect at all. What did the "turbo" do?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

It actually clocked the processor down rather than speeding things up.

In the early days of PCs games usually just ran as fast as the processor ran. As the processors got faster, games started to run too quickly to play. The turbo button slowed down the processor speed so you could still play those older games.

Now games use the clock to determine how quickly things happen, not the speed of the processor, so we don't have that problem.

Ah, the good ol' days when an Intel 486 with a 66 MHz CPU was cutting edge home computing 😄

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Takes me back holy shit. Haven’t done that in years. It’s how I always turned on my HP desktop. The button lit up with a blue LED and it was glorious.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i used to but then i was told that it's unhealthy for the system so i shut off from the OS side now

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do you reach that with your toe?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

On purpose or by accident?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

If not for toe, why toe shaped?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not that flexible. my foot doesn't reach that high easily

[–] s@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Why, are they into feet or something?

[–] potatoguy@potato-guy.space 2 points 1 day ago
[–] Jinarched@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Turn off computer? What is that?
