Nah, I'm pretty sure it just requires giving the background AI agent admin privileges.
The agent can already accidentally spend millions of dollars on tokens, apparently, so admin powers don't actually make it all that much more dangerous
At my work, the IT decided that employees should not be allowed to modify this setting for some reason, and it is set to go to sleep if inactive, it is so frustrating. I don't use agents but still had situation that I wanted to have something running when being on lunch for example.
We have to do that because the entire HR department can't figure out how to lock their computers and they keep leaving PII up on their screen while they are out at lunch.
You can, but the C suite doesn't want the trouble of finding out who is fucking it up, and they don't want to look like they are singling out any particular person or group, so they just tell us to set it as company standard policy. For everyone except them of course.
On the CLI or with 3rd party software yes, in the system settings no.
Edit: Or when an external display is attached it does it automatically, which is also not tunable. If I wasn't forced to at work I'd never use this OS.
Agreed, you have my sympathies. For work I only need to use Windows in a VM at least, because of shitty tooling from the manufacturer of some of our equipment.
Their support agents also need to use Windows, what they need to do just to get sensible SSH and serial line handling looks annoying.
Windows is a privacy nightmare, but on the other hand it has the by far biggest catalogue of software, including FOSS. The biggest problem is the privacy (less in the EU ^1^) and the huge amount of crap, AI's, services which nobody needs, telemetries, bloatware and trials which include by default slowing down a lot the performance.
But all these a advanced user can gut and fix, even if it isn't easy to find all the needed settings in a jungle of indocumented submenus.
In any case Windows permits by far more interactions and settings by the user than a Mac.
Best is Linux (not all distros!), but Windows isn't worse than Mac (it's only in it's default settings which everybody and companies use), but the other way arround and way less greedy and commercial centric than Apple, apart with way better compatibilities, Apple is only compatible with Apple.
It doesn't depend on the software. This is a decision my company made for all of the ten thousands of employees, not because we use software from Adobe, but because they want the same conditions for everyone so that they can manage them "easily".
Big companies are not very flexible in those regards
Actually they patched wine back in January to fix install and authentication issues with the creative cloud app. Some people have gotten the current version of Photoshop installed and it is usable. The rest of the stuff.... Not so much.
This is also a joke about AI users. There was an article about them leaving their laptop screens open so their vibe coding would continue. Most of them use windows but don’t know how to change the power settings for closed lid/screen.
Or do what we've already been doing for ages? Let the agent run on a remote server and just use your laptop to ssh into that server when your input is needed.
I'm still confused here.... Can you explain what Linux, an extra switch, and power management have to do with "prompt engineers" not knowing how to disable sleep on their MacBooks?
The entire chassis metal, and thermals sort of suck. I believe a lot of heat will come through the area around the keyboard. I wouldn't want to trap all of that.
One of the nice things about a metal chassis is that it conducts heat very well. Now obviously, the screen isn’t metal so closing the lid probably does trap some heat but the metal chassis itself does not trap heat, it absorbs it and then radiates it to the outside world.
This can indeed give the impression that heat generation is excessive in a metal chassis laptop, or that the thermals suck as you say, because the case can get warm or even hot very quickly. But that is actually because the chassis allows the heat to escape.
On the other hand, a plastic chassis will stay much cooler on the outside because it is very effectively trapping the heat and only forcing airflow with a fan allows the computer to stay at an appropriate internal temperature.
In other words; if all other parameters are the same, a laptop inside a metal chassis will have a lower internal temperature and a higher external temp, while one in a plastic case will have a higher internal temperature but the outside of the case will be cooler.
Send my ASUS sends a lot of its own waste heat through the frame around the keyboard as well. I would not want to trap any of that s*** with GPU intensive activities.
All the Macs use M-series chips now... the heat is not a concern. Mine is closed constantly with external monitors and keyboard and never throttles or gets monstrously hot like the old Intel Macs.
and also, it would break the hinges in intended use, and as pictured it can't work (doesn't hold the lower half). pair of wedge shaped things would work much better, i think
will pencil keep it wide open enough? the intention was to keep it slightly open, then put it in a bag and go around. years back when i had a laptop that shut down wifi with lid closed i solved that by taping a packet of instant ramen to palmrest for one evening
Apple changed the power settings to no longer allow the computer to stay awake with the lid closed unless it's either connected to power or connected to an external display.
I was unaware of this until I saw the post about the dad taking care of his young daughter in the pool locker room with his laptop propped open. Pathetic.
one of my computers even had that built into its high performance/power guzzler or gaming or i forget profiles. it's been over 2 decades since my last laptop.
on KDE Plasma on Linux (and BSDs), the Power Management widget or taskbar item has a toggle to Manually Block Sleep and Screen Locking, which prevents time-based and lid-based sleep and locking. in the settings app at System > Power Management you can set what to do when the lid is closed, with separate profiles for when plugged in, on battery, or on low battery. kde is very customizable and fully featured, would recommend
Dude was so tech illiterate he didn't know you could change the laptop power settings for it to not go to sleep when the lid was closed. Was bragging about toting his laptop around half open and pushing himself as an advanced AI tech bro. Which, who knows, he might be. They all seem to have grifted an insane amount of money with no actual knowledge.
OpenClaw is the name of a recently hyped "free and open-source autonomous artificial intelligence agent that can execute tasks via large language models (LLMs)".
And place a post-it note with 'This is a server. Do not close the lid' at the screen. I wish I was joking, but I've seen that in real life in a decently sized company. They had pretty serious issues with shadow-it...
WTF. Independent of this "agent" crap needed to remain open, to need a clamp (in Apple for sure $300) is hilarious. Almost any Laptop of other brands have in their settings how to handle the closing of it's screen. In my ACER I can close the Laptop without shutting down the OS, if I want. I setted it to only turn off the screen.
As always, Apple = Design (expensive) over function, performance and compatibility
Have you checked whether you can just go into the bios and turn off shutoff on lid close? That's what I did on the shitty ex-workstation Dell laptop that I'm running my Jellyfin server on and it works like a charm. Dell also has a "turn off absolutely all lights" button, which also has to be enabled in the bios iirc.

actually this might be useful for my server/shitty old laptop. I bet there's a cheap 3D printed version.

Have you checked whether you can just go into the bios and turn off shutoff on lid close? That's what I did on the shitty ex-workstation Dell laptop that I'm running my Jellyfin server on and it works like a charm. Dell also has a "turn off absolutely all lights" button, which also has to be enabled in the bios iirc.

it's running Ubuntu and I've been too lazy to figure it out lol. I know there's a way, I just gotta do it.
