Exactly. We don't know what the USA is right now so the devil you know is always better.

My Pixel phone reboots randomly on its own in c/askandroid@lemdro.id

Sorry. Was confusing that with the requirement to be able to shutdown a battery powered mobile device, like a phone.

But the fact of the matter is you won't find a phone that doesn't reboot when you press the power button (or a combination of buttons) for a few seconds.

No. The power button very much can override the software function by being pressed for an amount of time. It's mandated by law that the power button resets the phone even if the software is not responding.

A faulty power button can 100% cause what you're describing. It's mandatory for the power button to reset the phone if pressed for some time, and you say that some times when you try to lock it it shows the power menu which indicates that the button is closing the circuit on its own. So if it does that for about 20 seconds it can just reboot the phone.

Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

They have a deposit protection scheme in the UK where neither the landlord nor the tenant have full control of the amount. It's very useful. Much better than the landlord having the money in his possession.
