3 months agoYeah, I always set up my laptops to not sleep upon closing the screen, and I use hibernate instead of sleep when I need to leave and come back later. Makes moving an active system much better since I can close it without disrupting things, and hibernate uses zero battery, so it lasts indefinitely while inactive. Plus, none of that “modern standby” BS trying to connect to wifi or start the system back up while packed in a bag. That might be more an issue with my Windows work machines though.
It’s a difficult time for anyone who loves innovation and technology but also cares about the world’s wellbeing. I feel like I’m in a bit of a dead end in my own job, which is “tech” but not “tech sector,” and I love the idea of being able to do actual R&D for a living, but the thought of joining any one of the major tech corps makes me want to throw up.
