Can’t you just disable sleep on close? Fuckin noobs
Updated with correct link
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
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
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.
“For those who don’t want to input a command in a terminal”
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”.
Sf life
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
This is nothing new
corporate blocks most of the settings anyway
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.
I roll with NS “natural stupidity”
Also Idiots
I’ve definitely had windows straight up ignore the power settings before. Granted that was years ago, it’s probably only gotten worse
It does weird things with some but I’ve never seen “lid closed down action” bug. Then again I’m not using laptops that much
This has been true for 20 years.
Of all the things to compare pre and post AI
This is one that has not changed.
I mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.
You’re saying it like it’s a bad thing.
Why should I have to die in a plane crash because some idiot vibe coder’s laptop overheated and caught fire during the flight? So yes, it is a bad thing.
“Fires on airplanes” is, in general, a BAD THING.
Idk depends on the airplane at this point.
best case scenario you spew a bunch of toxic shit into the already stressed atmosphere.
Surely the CPU would force an instant shutdown if it detected dangerously high temperatures?
I was thinking more about the batteries. It’s probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an “uncontrollable, self-heating state” called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/
Yes, but our gear should have sensors that know when thermal transfer is sustainably going to impact the batteries.
They do, but It’s sort of like what happens when you take a hot steak off the pan. The heat source is removed, but the steak has enough heat to continue cooking for a bit while it rests. Your laptop might shut down, but the whole thing being in a backpack would act as an insulator and allow it to continue heating.
yes you are right and everyone else is a little uneducated for thinking this could actually be a fire risk
You sound fun at parties. Circular firing squad, much?
Fwiw, several generations of Windows notebooks have suffered from nasty sleep bugs where they wake themselves up from sleep, and drain their batteries while clamshelled in a book bag. Used to happen with my work Dells almost monthly. Microsoft’s announced win11 fix for it is one of the loudest and most venerated I’ve heard, in living memory.
Best I ever got out of the deal was a spicy pillow, no breach, and I’ve been unable to find any articles about any rash of laptop explosions which would have had very high visibility.
It sounds like you have also been as lucky as I have. May we all hope to escape the fires, a little longer.
Right, and this is just waking to run updates or whatever. Imagine what running a local LLM in the same conditions might do.
kek. okay tell that to all the electric vehicle owners who’ve burned to death in random car fires cause by their batteries igniting themselves. also maybe educate yourself a little and read the underwriters lab article I posted.
You’ve never worked with a dev department obviously.
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
windows update that will override settings
That’s just every update they push
You’re giving them too much credit. They’re afraid their chatbot will suffocate if they close those lid all the way.
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.
"Can’t you just disable sleep on close? " You really think they have technical competence for such?
Oh shit, that’s a great idea! I’m surprised claude didn’t suggest it first. /S
You can, and you can also have the disabled sleep on close implementation screw up, have unintended consequences and weird behaviors. Half open lid? You know what you’re getting.
Caffeine exists
Does anyone have an example of a real world, AI coded thing? I keep hearing about all these vibe coders, but I’m not seeing any tangible products.
I make web apps for work, they connect to vendor APIs and generate reports. It’s pretty awesome, but idk i think im a unicorn. Tried to major in CS but just couldn’t be perfect with my syntax and actually failed a couple courses because I couldn’t get full programs to build even though I aced the conceptual on paper-quizzes. So I feel pretty good about knowing and understanding the apps claude is building for me even though i just can’t get all the semicolons in the right place myswlf.
Micodeslop Windows
It’s weird, people love saying they ai code. But they don’t like admitting their products are vibe coded.
Everfall 2 is the “sequel” to Everfall, a vibe coded disaster of a game. The sequel only exists because the “dev” couldn’t figure out how to get Claude to fix the fact that save games just didn’t work. One week after publishing the original, he abandoned it saying the sequel would be given to everyone who bought the first at a “huge discount”. After push back, he reduced it to free if you DM him on discord. The sequel is almost exactly the same as the first game except saving works more often. Like, literally 100% carbon copy. The screenshots on each steam page is proof of that.
That new text rendering method was apparently brute force vibe coded in the pixel tolerances.
No clue if it’s actually good software.
