What's old is new again, but I welcome this.
I used to do this 15 years ago to keep listening to music from my laptop (one of the white chiclet ones) in my backpack, can't remember the name of the app I used then.
One caveat, your laptop cannot cool inside a backpack, it will overheat and shut down anyway. This happened to me several times.

- dmd 4mo agothat was true of intel but definitely not of arm macbooks.
- NewJazz 4mo agoThen why do they have fans?
- loeg 4mo agoMany ARM Macbooks do not have fans?
- moralestapia 4mo agoFans !== heat
- loeg 4mo agoMy comment is only in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48701824 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48701824 , which is contending that ARM Macbooks have fans.
- NewJazz 4mo agoMany do. I would argue most do, although i don't have air vs. Pro sales numbers so I can't speak definitively there. Even those that don't may rely on passive cooling strategies that are less effective in enclosed spaces.
