1·5 days agoOh yeah I remember that! 😂 Not a fan-service transformation at all…
1·5 days agoI never played any, didn’t know they used this too. Will check some out. Any suggestions?
Thank you all for these! Interesting that the anime used this graphic device but the manga didn’t. It fits with what some are saying, that this device became popular thanks to computer graphics.
I completely missed the connection with computer games (I’m not a gamer), thank you! Probably computer graphics pushed the device to both games and anime.
Indeed, they look good and are easy to make with computer graphics; I hadn’t thought about that!
Yeah circles and other 2D patterns – or simply plain writing – do have very ancient origins. I think all cultures in their early stage attributed a magic character to drawing and writing, which are inherently 2D activities. This is also reflected in other anime/fantasy common themes, like the item that comes to life because something has been written on it (golem), or the creature that gets increased powers because someone gives it a name…
Thank you for the link! I had not thought about the computer-graphics factor, and that makes absolute sense for the increase in popularity of this graphic device.
Thank you for the “references”! I don’t think I even saw those.
Indeed the idea is old, and inherent in most early cultures in relation to drawing and writing, which were seen as “magical”. And this is reflected more generally in anime, for example in the very common theme of “getting increased powers upon receiving a name”.
What I was wondering was why the sudden increase, because today it seems that all fantasy anime use this device. I had not thought about the computer-graphics factor, and that makes a lot of sense!
Great geeky post 🚀

1·23 days agoYes, all three. Also tried adding these options in a separate file in
logind.conf.d/. Some searches on StackExchange show that this worked for some, indeed.
Thank you. In my case, unfortunately, changing the
HandleLidSwitch*options didn’t work. Luckily changingudevsettings did the job!
Thank you for this 🙏. I tried the
HandleLidSwitch*options, setting them all to “ignore”, but unfortunately it didn’t work in my case. Adding or modifyingudevrules luckily did!
Thank you for this!🙏 I was going this way, but found that some
udevconfig may need change, see update to post.
My laptop’s lid doesn’t have hinges, that’s part of the problem. But besides that, it’s simply something I don’t want. For me it’s enough if the power button and the “Fn” button wake up the laptop.
5·1 month agoThank you both, sounds good, I’ll probably switch to it.

Does anyone know what’s the difference between the

If you have a Lenovo laptop, these are the keys:
Press Alt key (or whatever key maps to Alt, if you’ve made key remappings) and keep it pressed all the time, while doing as follows, where “Fn” is the function key:
- Press Fn+s, release Fn+s, press r
- Press Fn+s, release, press e
- Press Fn+s, release, press i
- Press Fn+s, release, press s
- Press Fn+s, release, press u
- Press Fn+s, release, press b
You see the sequence gives “REISUB”.
When pressing keys or key combos, keep them pressed for a second or so. If you press a wrong key, restart from the beginning.
Good luck! 🍀💪
What?!.. Wait, I didn’t know about that action movie! 🤯
