Can’t you just disable sleep on close? Fuckin noobs
Updated with correct link
"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
Oh… I guess you need 1 year on just a library and a linux machine and a next year on just google before getting your AI coder driver’s licence.
just ssh home for god sakes
Tech guys too stupid to config lid closed settings
Jesus, These people have no critical thinking skills.
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?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.
This shit reads like an Onion article. Good god.
It can’t be a local model right? Why don’t they just do it on their phones? Or if it is local, run it on their desktop and access it remotely. It’s just so stupid.
Close the lid, buddy. You gave your only good ideas to a stranger and they made you obsolete.
Nah, it’s okay. They probably don’t have ideas worth stealing.
The 39-year-old head of product at Raven.AI is a [Claude Code and OpenAI Codex power user. He also has two daughters, ages 12 and 10, who love to ice skate. So, when he takes them to their weekly skating practices, he sits outside the rink and codes with AI.
It’s easy to lose track of time with these tools, he told Business Insider. Soon enough, the girls’ practice has ended, and the parents flood into the changing room. He joins them — with his laptop ajar, so that the AI agent can keep running.
Sure pal, your work is more important than your kids!
USA makes the world more difficult by pushing people to work more hours and more hours and even more hours, that is turning to a normal thing, which affects the rest of the world bad. Yesterday was AI pushed all over the world, today is war going worldwide. God belss USA and it’s capitalist heads!
So many comments about the power settings thing, but this isn’t about working effectively and efficiently.
You can take AI out of this article and it would be just as sad, but it wouldn’t get the clicks.
This article is either helping push, or documenting the push, that if YOU are a higher tier of worker bee that wants to prove your superior worth to your bound legal entity, AND you want to virtue signal having your head on straight to all the lazy selfish people around you actually being present in the moment, then YOU need ShinyTechBroProduct!
Ohhh all the cool parents are into ShinyTechBroProduct! All the other lame asses who PaId AtTeNtiOn To tHeiR KiDs aren’t going to be the next Elon Jobs now are they!
I’m sorry, you lost me at the ‘Legal Entity’ bit, that one always sounds like SovCit kool-aid. Got to be careful with that one, with so many libertarian crazies afoot.
How do so many tech people not know about the power settings that can let the laptop run 100% even with the lid closed and on battery power?
Like, how stupid are they? Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?
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’re going to need to be a lot more specific
Oh, right. AI users…
ahem

Sure! I can help with that! To thank TheRiskiestBiscuit later, simply reply to their comment on Lemmy. Try a simple “Thank you!” for a classic, concise response, or maybe an “I really appreciate you. What’s your Venmo so I can buy you a coffee?” if you’re feeling adventurous.
Can I help you set a reminder to thank TheRiskiestBiscuit later or would you prefer to thank them now?

Hopefully that’s specific enough.
Please get it to thank you for me, thanks
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.
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.
You are not going to like the answer but yes. AI makes humans stupid.
some laptops use the keyboard as an airvent tho
I have seen that type. The keyboard is usually inset a mm or three along with that indent extending to the edges, allowing airflow to continue even when the lid is closed.
Absolute tech jank, indicative of people who don’t know what they’re doing.
Just disable the lid switch in software.
I’ve always done this. I dont like it suspending when its closed.
Yeah, I think I learned to do this with my first laptop within the first hour of using it.
I mean honestly if you asked any AI, with relevant OS info first thing it would tell you is how to configure your laptop to suppress lid off action.
“I think people think I’m whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman,” one AI user said."
They don’t think it bro they fuckin know it.
