We should have foreseen that were breeding a population that can't independently solve problems when it became so ubiquitous for people to ask questions online that could be answered instantly with even the compromised 2020s state of search engines.
Dependence on LLMs could be the natural extension of that culture.
lid-toggle on lid-toggle off lid-toggle toggle
that allows me to switch the behaviour for laptop lid close , to behave the way i want it to,
So i can close my laptop, keep it in my bag, with my headphones on and talk to claude code while its coding stuff , albeit it runs a bit warm inside my bag, but it works just fine.
I run a custom setup on linux to make it all happen
Why would someone risk breaking their laptop by keeping it half open like this , instead of just quickly building a toggle to change the suspend on lid close behaviour ?
I don't have much hope anything has improved since then.
Naah, they are probably dumb as hell!
I currently have 3 laptops opened all the way flat, and standing in a folder rack (because they take up an awkward amount of space open the normal way), that i remote into for various jobs. Can I close them these days without a major hit to basic performance? Of course i'd have to open them to turn them on anyway, so that'd be annoying.
To all the clever "AI" engineers reading this: don't ever leave a laptop running in your bag (or anywhere without adequate ventilation).
I don't understand what they get with this chicanery of half open though :-/
Is there an advanced ice water facial method that I don't have the appropriate grindset to comprehend, and does anyone know an ice rink that opens at 3:30am?
`sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1` (0 to revert) works, although it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Or...what?
