Makes me wish something like a literal USB key existed.

You mean something like a Yubikey?

I'm getting GlaDOS vibes from this one.

This as well as its GUI are what I use. It is a bit annoying as you have to redo some steps after windows or driver updates.

This was probably 1997ish. My godparents had a computer with AOL, and I remember being blown away by chat rooms and being able to instantly communicate with people from all over the world. A year later, my family joined got our first internet connection.

If less is more, imagine how much more more can be.

If you mean the "Manually block sleep and screen locking" toggle in the battery icon in the systray, then no, that didn't stop the lid action.

KDE Plasma 6: How to temporarily disable suspend on closing laptop lid? (lemdro.id)

In KDE 5, the Activities settings had an option for overriding (among other things) what actions closing the laptop lid did, so temporarily disabling the lid switch was as simple as switching Activities.

Now, in KDE 6, Activities have been reworked and this option was removed. What is an alternative way for me to, on demand, disable the laptop lid and keep it from putting the system to sleep? And then easily re-enable it again without a reboot or logging off?

The new Activities options for disabling "automatically turning off the screen" and "automatically sleeping and locking" have no effect.

Real nerds learned how to create SP-MIDIs and structured them to degrade gracefully no matter how limited your phone's synth chip was.

Do you prefer CD-R or CD-RW for music? in c/[email protected]

CD-R for compatibility

Apple Watch 10 removed the option for pinning apps to the Task Switcher. It's now way more inconvenient to scroll through the App List to find what I want at that moment.
