A guy here shared a story about this AI guy his company hired, that was pretty clueless when it comes to basic tasks about his job. When he had to do the same thing a week later, he was still as clueless. Anyway, that made me think that AI people might have trouble learning things, because they just let a data center hallucinate an answer. I have the same thing when i use a navigation system, i don't really learn the way i go, i just follow an indicator.

Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?

These people never had any skill to begin with. They only have a codebase now because of AI.

I'm not in IT, just a lowly office grunt who is forced to use Windows on their laptop. I know most people here have forgotten that 99% of the working world has to use Windows, so let me remind you how much it sucks.

It doesn't matter how you change the laptop power settings, Windows will look at your settings and then just do whatever the fuck it wants when the lid closes.

Sometimes it goes to sleep

Sometimes it stays powered on and quietly overheats in your laptop bag.

Sometimes it completely freezes up and forces you to hold down the power button.

Sometimes it just logs you out and does nothing else.

Sometimes it will go to sleep, but the moment you open it back up it decides what you REALLY wanted was to restart.

Changing the settings has no effect on what Windows decides to do.

I know people on this site like to sit on their gilded Linux throne and sneer at all the lowly peons forced to use "Microslop" instead of their clearly superior, self-hosted, FOSS, Linux distro; but it is a real problem with Windows laptops.

“Claude, how do I change power settings on a laptop?”

Thank me later, AI users. ;)

You are not going to like the answer but yes. AI makes humans stupid.

some laptops use the keyboard as an airvent tho
