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.
To be fair, every OS I’ve used comes with a confirmation screen when you press the power button. So if you press it accidentally, you can just hit “Cancel”.
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”
