I guess these people are not coders at all. Maybe they should ask claude to temporarily change the „lid close action“ in the power settings? ;)

I immediately thought of SSH but you're right. That's far too complicated for the next crop of AI synergy experts.
You joke, but even 8-9yrs ago, I had at least one new junior join my team who couldn't even tell or fathom the difference between whether they were on their own laptop or on the server when using the terminal. It was a constant problem where they were trying to run commands on the wrong computer.

I don't have much hope anything has improved since then.

The Debian package molly-guard was first released in 2006. 20 years ago!
You don't need to be a "coder", just a vaguely competent computer user. It's really sad you've got people who just don't feel in control of their computers at all and would resort to not closing the lid.
Or they just dont want to spend time figuring out how to do that because they are busy with something else

Naah, they are probably dumb as hell!

To be fair, they are almost certainly dumb as hell regardless of if they spend time figuring this out or not.
