Make button that fit big toe perfectly, get button pressed by big toe.
Logic.
Using foot to turn him on. Yes
Yes, and it’s hella efficient
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 use their toe to do it.
Unless you have an indecisive friend planning for a Rhinoplasty.
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.
With nail polish?
Damned nihilists!
Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it’s an ethos!
What makes you think I don’t do that on my current computer?
I used everything but my finger.
How did you press the power button with itself?
The nail on my penid.
penits?
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?
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.
Ah, definitely makes sense.
… Do we have buttonless towers now or something? Just did this last night.
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.
Lotta towers have the button on top now, for airflow purposes I assume.
I was just thinking the same. How does everyone else turn on their towers?
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?
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.
Ah, the good ol’ days when an Intel 486 with a 66 MHz CPU was cutting edge home computing 😄
i used to but then i was told that it’s unhealthy for the system so i shut off from the OS side now
How do you reach that with your toe?
Practice

Takes me back holy shit. Haven’t done that in years. It’s how I always turned on my HP desktop. The button lit up with a blue LED and it was glorious.
Turn off computer? What is that?
On purpose or by accident?
I’m not that flexible. my foot doesn’t reach that high easily
