Figures they don't know how to keep their laptops awake while the lid is closed lmao
This is the first setting I changed on every laptop I ever owned. So often I had stuff running in the background and didn't want it to sleep. Plus, windows had that stupid fucking sleep bug, so usually I'd use hibernate anyways.
I disabled sleep-on-close for my server laptop (I use NixOS btw), although I do prefer to keep it on for my personal laptop.
Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that's too high tech for vibe-whatevers.
"I think people think I'm whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman," one AI user said.
Ackshually, we think you're an absolute fucking idiot.
Also - ffs, they can't even disable sleep in system settings?????
Kids today are braindead
Amen. what's so fucking difficult about screen/tmux and a ssh connection?
For them? I'm willing to bet literally everything
I like how they think they're somehow special for walking around with their laptops open. Business idiots have been doing this forever. It isn't some new "AI coder" thing. Jane from fucking accounting does this on the way to her meetings too you morons.
Normally I want mine to sleep on close.
Kinda reminiscent of people walking while holding their phones on their palm face up like a slice of bread.
I'm not sure if I see a reason not to disable sleep on lid close. If you have to carry it around lid open so that it doesn't sleep, you clearly have a case for wanting to keep the laptop running with lid closed.
If it's a "look at me, I'm doing things", it's a whole different story.
My money is on the latter
Oh bro your laptop was open, I closed it so it wouldn’t eat up all your battery.
I gotta hide this article. His punchable face on my feed is insufferable.
People who can't figure out their power settings are shipping software. We're so fucked.
It's fucking surreal watching these people rise to high positions in tech companies trying to sell the idea that they can replace physicians with their "product". Have fun with that mate.
They will. It’s cheaper. People will die. Congress will take money from the lobbyists and say there’s nothing they can do.
Its a good thing the tech bros are so inept, our demise will be slowed somewhat
Considering that they are using pseudo intelligence* write the code I think the power settings is the least of our concerns.
*PI should replace AI as it is a more accurate title
I just translate AI to Anti-Intelligence. 😎
"Actually Indians"
Original is better than clankers but I gladly use both.
This has been true for 20 years.
This is nothing new
This was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.
There is no way this happened lmao.
I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.
"For those who don't want to input a command in a terminal"
You're giving them too much credit. They're afraid their chatbot will suffocate if they close those lid all the way.
"Can’t you just disable sleep on close? " You really think they have technical competence for such?
Sounds like they are being performative: they want every one to know and to ask them about it.
Brace yourselves for a windows update that will override the settings with giant bubble buttons on how to turn off sleep mode..
So relieved I'm fully Linux now
When you lock your lid: Do nothing When on battery, turn off laptop after: Never
They think "do nothing" means the AI will do nothing.
What really worries me about this article is this very dystopian idea that you're supposed to be "working" 24/7, no breaks ever.
Even when you're out with your kids, why are you present in the moment instead of working? Open your laptop, go work.
Wasn't all the marketing abour the "AI Future" talking about getting things done faster?
When did that turn into "Work 24/7 so you don't waste your hourly token limit"? WTF?
on top of that, there is no way they are working on anything so important that can’t take an hour away or whatever. these dopes could also configure yolo mode if they just need to sit there and click “accept” to changes…
Also,
The 15-year-old from Bentonville, Arkansas, is a 10th grader who's building a startup with his 24-year-old cousin. He uses Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode (paid for with seed money from his parents).
Lul. Lmao. ROFL even.
just ssh home for god sakes
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
