That's why there's a distinction between buttons and keys
Is there though?
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".
