As I understood it the part where you hit the power button when you don't want is the root of the problem. The horrible Mac keyboard is accidentally also the topic here.
- csydas 9y agoWell, as noted though, this behavior is determined by the OS; it's not a hard-coded part of the system or anything. Windows has a control-panel option for what Windows should do when the power button is pressed, and for whatever reason, it defaults to "Shutdown". This is not the behavior on macOS, and as such accidental presses are not a problem on macOS, nor would it on Windows if the user desired.
- davrosthedalek 9y agoAccidental power button are still a problem, because obviously the correct key wasn't hit. It's mitigated, but a mitigated problem is still a problem. But with proper keyboard design, accidental presses wouldn't be a problem.
- aluhut 9y agoThe topic is not "macOS is ruining my life" but "The new MacBook keyboard is ruining my life". Besides that, I would consider going on standby accidentally a problem independent of the OS (hitting the power button for a shot time usually gets you in standby also).
- threeseed 9y agoI don't think you understand the situation though. On the older Macbook's the power key is still in the top right corner just like it is on the new ones. If you can't type properly it is still possible to hit it. Not that tapping the power button does anything.
- TrickyRick 9y agoIf we're talking about the newest line of MacBooks, how does one accidentally press the power button? Maybe it's just my computer but it takes quite a bit of power to accentuate it compared to the other keys.
