Explanation/Alt text: The tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme showing more and more abstract representation of "home".

  1. The literal word "Home"
  2. 127.0.0.1, the IP address of your current device
  3. ~/, the Unix home directory
  4. A Nintendo Switch RCM clip, which is used to short pin 1 and 10 of the Joycon railing in order to enter recovery mode (RCM) for softmodding. The pin 1 and 10 combination is known as the "hardware home button"

    They still do; at least on the iPhone 12, there are three buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. Bonus: there is also a toggle switch for silent mode.

    That toggle switch for silent mode can be configured for other button presses too, it defaults to the silence thing but can be used for other stuff.

    I kinda miss the physical toggle one from back in the day, had a satisfying click.
