i wonder why this works.
i wonder why this works.
Streaming services are becoming increasingly fragmented, prices are increasing admist an inflationary environment, their service sucks.
But hey, online piracy is increasing, what a surprise!
That’s interesting, I never thought this would be a feature that someone would want.
For desktops, standby totally makes sense. But for a laptop that’s meant to be carried around and runs on battery, I’m willing to bet in majority of use-cases, sleeping when closing the lid makes sense for the following reasons:
Closing the lid usually means the user is packing it up and moving the laptop - in which case things like downloads won’t be reliable if you’re constantly moving out of wifi networks
Again, if the user is moving the laptop, preserving battery life is important.
Some laptops are designed so their airflow works best when open, so heat may be an issue. Not to mention you runt he risk of users putting it in their bag and then the laptop overheating.
Of course its possible to detect when the laptop is plugged in vs not plugged in, but ultimately it just seems like your use-case is in the minority, so there isn’t much support for it - anyone who’s determined enough will find a way to disable sleep when the lid is closed like you did.
one workaround is to perhaps set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes, and you can keep the laptop plugged in without closing the lid? The screen probably draws the most energy when idle - when you’re plugged in I’m willing to bet the energy consumption of a laptop with its screen turned off is pretty minimal.
next up: office workers swipe in to the office for an hour a day
let’s make the threshold $60 instead of $600
he’s a crazy guy
worse, they’re just removing stuff now (like microsd support)
LOL
any time i see a weird gif reaction i just block.
it gets repetitive, but that’s the way it is for now.
at some point i might just move away from shitjustworks to an instance that actually cares.
i totally understand why the pilot did it, of course. but technically, isn’t he violating international law (i think its the geneva convention) which says you have to wear a distinguishable uniform in battle?
Awesome, thanks for all your work here!

awesome, i used to love the sub! subscribed. amazing community icon too haha
Yeah. I can’t code but I can follow instructions to compile an app and add my own API key. But given everything that’s happened I sure as hell am not going to bother.
I know he’s appeared in the new movies before, but I still think Benjamin Cabbagepatch would make a good Data.
you can just unsubscribe from that community for now.
I had the same experience. I almost didn’t make it onto the lemmyverse - I tried lemmy.ml and beehaw, didn’t get let in / tried to log in too soon after I applied, then forgot about it.
Any site with an application process is going to turn away a lot of people.
I admire the work you’re doing for the blind community. You’re a hero!
why would i need to know another car is self driving though?
