  • A clever hack fixes the new Mac mini power button's awkward location

    I was thinking of this seesaw type design, Someone posted this solution on a Facebook 3D Printing Group.

    I've owned an early 2023 Mac Mini M2 since March 2023. I have touched the power button on the back exactly one time. When I first turned it on.

    I couldn't even tell you where on my Mac mini the power button is located. That's how infrequently I use it and I've had t since Late 2018.
    “If you're the sort who leaves their Mac on all the time, then you won't be concerned about the power button. And you're also not concerned about the planet.” :smiley: 
    Do you power off your phone when you aren’t actively using it? I don’t mean turn the display off, I mean shut it down so it has to power up the next time you use it? Th4 mini uses almost no power when it’s in sleep mode.

    No. I have many other devices attached to the Mini, SSD, Hard Disk, Monitor, Space Mouse, USB Hub, Keyboard. Speakers, none of which go to sleep. Energy is expensive in the UK so I'd rather not waist it. Equally because my Office is my Bedroom I want to sleep so I don't want the lights of all the devices and the noise of the Hard Drive keeping me awake. 

    This isn't a major problem for me, no problem lifting the mini up to turn on. Easier just printing a little 3D Print which I have to turn ON.

    what monitor do you have? mine goes to sleep when my Mac goes to sleep. Just like the display on my iPhone does.
    LG, it does go to standby but is still using power I guess, it’s the noise of the HD that bothers me.
