In college I used to see “RENDERING!” Taped to monitors
(3d rendering)
classic meme.
Disable sleep-on-lid-closed.
Take out the lid-close sensor and use it in a side project that requires a proximity sensor.
isn't it Hall sensor?
I might/might not be one.
But it definitely is a proximity sensor. Unless yours is an Apple device, in which case, it might be an angle sensor.
The term "Hall sensor" would refer to the tech used in it, whereas the term "proximity sensor" refers to its function.
It could be using any other proximity sensing technique too and it would still be a proximity sensor.
technically yes. usually proximity sensor is used to mean IR or sonic sensors and I read in that sense.
I see.
I used "proximity sensor" because I didn't know what these sensors use and didn't want to worry about it while writing that comment.
If the Dexter actor is near it, the screen goes off
On thinkpads it is, there is a magnet on the bottom.
I had a dell latitude for my first server. even when I removed the magnets, some how it still would detect that the kid was closed and turn off. I tried everything I could think of and more, without any luck. the solution? I removed the display entirely so it couldn't be closed and only used it via ssh or a VGA monitor if I really needed it.
I removed the magnets
I have an older ASUS ROG laptop in which the sensor is a separate PCB (less than a thumb in size) connected using a few IDC pins.
It could simply be taken off and I haven't even opened the monitor frame yet.
It's probably to prevent overheating.
Why is it just sitting on the carpet though?
To prevent underheating, they're going for a medium laptop.
Medium-well, more like.
which one of you took a picture of my jellyfin server?
Man when I was a kid I ran a runescape private server for anywhere within 20-100 people at a time, and for the first few weeks users reported a lot of downtime, which didn't make sense to me as whenever I tried to login it was totally fine!!
Eventually figured out closing my laptop lid put the laptop to sleep and scraped together some chore money for a VPS lol
TIL: maybe my local laptop-server shouldn't have the lid closed. Probably not gonna change my ways, though. What an inconvenience that'd be
You should be able to deactivate shutdown or sleep mode on lid closure with some commands.
I have the lid closed, yes. I wasn't aware that there could be a reason to choose to keep it open
Closing lid goes brrr
Genius
not turning off going to sleep when lid closed
Rookie maneuver.
Could be an overheating concern maybe. Some laptops weren't designed to run with the lid closed, if it inhibits the air flow.
As right as that might be, it's on carpet!
I don't believe they put much thought into airflow and overheating...
Which is exactly why it overheats so quickly when they close the lid.
Let's face it, the place using a laptop on the floor with a paper sign probably doesn't have the budget for real sysadmins. At the same time, most real sysadmins know to disable the lid-closing behavior and get the laptop off of the carpet because they've been foiled in their past by people who refused to read the goddamn paper sign.
So OOP is just in the pre-sysadmin stage
On carpet 😬
Same here. I ran a kitchen server precisely like that (minus the sign) - - but on a carpet?
(as another commenter said: even if you just moved in, you put it on a box or something)
This laptop is secretly downloading scientific papers behind a paywall to release them on the public internet. Sadly, the owner will be prosecuted unfairly and threatened with unreasonable punishment.
Remember Aaron.
