minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 months agoCant you just assign a different action to that power button instead of messing with it internally?

minus-squarevaionko@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 months agoYou can for a click, but no way for the long press, as that’s handled on a lower level
minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoYou got a point. Cats are sneaky 😅
minus-squareSaber_is_dead@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoyeah what if cat does a sudo shutdown -r now then we’re really in trouble
minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoTaht’s too, but that would still be better than biting the cables.

minus-squareRetro_unlimited@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoOn one computer I had a recessed reset button, so I used that as power. Another computer I added a wire to an external button double stick taped to the back of the monitor so I can turn on both at the same time.

minus-squarebitjunkie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoA lot of newer motherboards have a separate power button next to the case pinouts.
