    Thought that is how they look like or represented them as such in art?

    My understanding was that most understood them as light sources, very similar to how we do, but rather then cosmic body they saw angels or whatever fits their religious framework.

    Its not like people where unaccustomed to the night sky, but maybe deeper psychological interpretation plays a role.











  • I recognize this may be a very autistic answer (i am)

    The function of a button is to be pressed, to put functionality on the bottom of a stationary device feels incredibly wrong. Thats really all there is to it.

    I can forgive a reset button being on the bottom because ideally they aren’t ever pressed and you definitely don’t want them accidentally pressed. I recognize that for macos a restart is usually a reset troubleshooting step and i would be probably be fine with it the button was renamed with an explanation on its actual usecase scenario.

    In any regards i feel like it makes much more sense on the back where the cables go in.

    I have nothing against apple besides the general capitalist/consumerism stuff. I hate google and meta much more.



  • You can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.

    I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.

    Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.

    I shut down my android tablet after use.

    I owned and mainly used a MacBook pro for 5 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone. It was also ironically the best windows laptop i had owned at that point (in dual boot) and i always shut down when i worked in Windows, just never in macos

    Apple did not tell me to do this, it is not difficult to shutdown a mac, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.

    This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.
