Sounds like they are being performative: they want every one to know and to ask them about it.
Stupid enough to do AI slop, stupid enough to not know how to disable the lid actions
I'm not sure if I see a reason not to disable sleep on lid close. If you have to carry it around lid open so that it doesn't sleep, you clearly have a case for wanting to keep the laptop running with lid closed.
If it's a "look at me, I'm doing things", it's a whole different story.
My money is on the latter
You can literally just tell the AI to disable sleep settings ,this is beyond stupid, they aren't even running the actual LLMs on the laptops so it doesn't even matter
Can’t you just disable sleep on close?
i could, but closing the lid turned off radios (wifi + bt) at some low level in a way that i haven't figured out

even the crappy old bobcat-based (slow af amd apu) laptops i have here run with lid closed (they run piholes and what-not).
totally happened
Oh... I guess you need 1 year on just a library and a linux machine and a next year with an added search engine before getting your AI coder driver's licence.
