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…

Sadly, I’ve actually seen a couple model laptops that were designed with one of the fan vents right above the keyboard, and only ventilated when the screen is open. VERY piss poor design, but yeah those do exist…

They have the budget for printer ink tho
Or a local library and $0.10
I also have a laptop working as a server. The problem is that the WiFi antenna is in the lid and it just doesn’t work well when the lid is closed
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.
classic meme.
which one of you took a picture of my jellyfin server?
On carpet 😬
I mean, literally just lean it against the wall, at the very least…
if you just moved in, server comes first, then a mattress, then the rest of the furniture
The laptop could have setup to not sleep on close and could have been laying closed, screen on the ground. Also it would have provided completely unrestricted airflow to the fan…
…but then the sign would have affected the airflow…
This is the best compromise until mom visits and steps on it.
I have killed two laptops by stepping on them. Is this a sign?
… Mum?
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)
See I would have more problems with cats chilling on the keyboard than folks closing the lid or unplugging it
And the lid is not open because of preventing it sleeping, but rather to cool it down
In college I used to see “RENDERING!” Taped to monitors

Disable suspend when the laptop lid is closed:
sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitch=suspend/HandleLidSwitch=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend/HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf sudo systemctl restart systemd-logindIf you are in a TTY, you can blank the screen before closing the lid to prevent burn-in. After running this, come back later and press a key to turn the screen on again.
alias blankscreen='setterm --blank=force; read ans; setterm --blank=poke'Thanks, but honestly, a simple cat <file> would be more helpful than a sed line. I mean, who reads sed lines?
OMG, Y500 ? Mine is still running after 13 years!
Lenovo made some kickass computers back then.
I instantly recognized it too! Mine got stolen. I loved mine.
