What makes you think I don’t do that on my current computer?
Did you ever use your Toe to turn one of these on or off?

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.

Your UPS didn’t also clean your voltage?
scytale@piefed.zip 1 month ago
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.

How did you press the power button with itself?
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No, just for turbo button.

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 1 month 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.

… Do we have buttonless towers now or something? Just did this last night.
Emptiness@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I was just thinking the same. How does everyone else turn on their towers?
swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Lotta towers have the button on top now, for airflow purposes I assume.
Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

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

Yes, and it’s hella efficient
KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Make button that fit big toe perfectly, get button pressed by big toe.
Logic.

If not for toe, why toe shaped?

frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Well it would be weird if I used someone else’s toe to do it.

you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose
but you shouldn’t pick your friends nose

Unless you have an indecisive friend planning for a Rhinoplasty.
Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Unless you use their toe to do it.
PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
