    When I was younger I had a computer where the front fell off and stripped the wires from the button.

    To turn it on and off I had to hold the wires together, felt like I was hot wiring a car every time.

      Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?

      When I bench tested components at a PC shop, I’d use my smallest screwdriver to short the pins on the motherboard to start up the caseless computer.

      Kinda the same here but one day I noticed it also worked by simply touching the case with one of the wires and that’s how I did it from here.

        You Monster! Why would you power cycle a server?
