  • i run several mass-market consumer model laptops with the lid closed. as long as the vents aren’t obstructed, not a problem here. mine are all lower-wattage soc with integrated gpu, though; the most demanding one that’s on 24/7 is still only ~ 15w cpu at 100% load, and it never runs at that; it rarely even throttles up from the 800mhz it idles at. i stand them on end so the vents are clear, and use some lego to enforce spacing between 'em.










  • not “motorola” (as in the mobile phone company that’s now part of lenovo, or the old cable box/modem company which is owned by arris), but rather a licensee of the name and trademarks for certain networking products… “premier logitech” (which has nothing to do with the computer peripherals company), which is owned by one of those buyout/“investment” firms “tide rock”.

    i wouldn’t expect a thing out of them, especially support for gear designed, made or sold prior to tide rock’s ownership (acquired in 2024).



  • adarza@piefed.catoLinux@lemmy.mlWhat WM or DE are you using now?

    i don’t like tiling wm, and can’t stand seemingly random placement a linux d.e. usually gives (if not just centering everything every time).

    i use the kwin script for ‘remember window positions’ to get behaviour similar to windows. gnome has something similar, too (‘smart auto move ng’). so now a window for a program will open right back up the same size and in the same spot next time you run it.
