    Variants on that problem have been around for quite some time.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

    On some older IBM PC–compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: the default "turbo" speed or a reduced speed closer to the Intel 8086 CPU. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286,[1] 80386 and 80486 processors,[2] from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine's power and efficiency. When pressed, the "turbo" button is intended to let a computer run at the highest speed for which it had been designed.[3]

    With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU's frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable, due to the reduced time allowed to react to the faster game events. To restore compatibility, the "turbo" button was added.[4] Disengaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.

    Every time I wonder why they decided to call a button 'Turbo' if fast was the default mode

      The ice maker stopped working and When I make Sodastream I pour it over ice so I wouldn't make Sodastream soda and was "forced" to drink the Cokes in the fridge.
      It took 2 days before the ice machine was fixed.

                    I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.

                    Pretty sure the ones at my work (only by the higher-ups and the people responsible for ordering stuff) don't have presets. So since my desk was just outside my boss' boss' door, whenever he was out I would pop in and move his desk halfway up. That way, every single time he walked in to use his desk, he'd had to move it whether he wanted to stand or sit.

                    I didn't dislike him or anything. I (and every person I told to do it when they went into his office) just thought it was funny.

                        Nope they were very wasteful. And they all thought they were so much better than anyone else.

                                The thing is, the desk in the office does have presets. You still have to hold the button until it stops at the saved height.

                                  Not only is that comment insane, but not a single person here seems to be opposed to the idea of disabling a feature that is trying to reduce pollution. I know the corpos are doing most of it but come on, just get used to the auto stop so you don't idle poison into the air.

                                      Yes but they stop at that instead of seeing them as the cultural mine canary they are, and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it

                                      And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn't stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools

                                      And their indoctrinating a whole new generation through tate and rogan and the like

                                      While everyone seems to just tut tut and say 'wow teen bois amirite

                                      You really have no fucking clue how bad or deep this problem is and it's so well known that Chinese aristocrats wrote about it a thousand years ago, they called it 'The Bare Brances problem', and it resulted in numerous bandit uprisings resulting in entire villages getting raped and pillaged

                                      And it all started with socially disenfranchised young men who had no future

                                      Just like now

                                      You really, really don't know how bad it's going to get. I've spent the last year prepping a remote cabin because our family has survived two dictators and they passed down their tips

                                      If you aren't doing something to secure your family's safety now, it is likely too late unless you are wealthy enough to drop and go at a moments notice.
