+Only suspend when lid closed and discharging?
+i3 version 4.16.1 (2019-01-27); Debian 10.1 on Thinkpad T420
+I listen to music off my laptop quite frequently. Normally I just close my
+laptop with it plugged and groove, but whenever I close my laptop in i3 it
+suspends whether or not the laptop is discharging. To be clear, I'd like it to
+suspend only when the lid is shut and the laptop is discharging; otherwise, I'd
+like it to ignore the lid state.
+I can post my current config if it helps but I'm not too sure it's necessary.
+Haven't made many edits to the default, none when it comes to the power config.
+Thanks for any help.

+4G modems with good Linux support? Seeking recommendations
+I'm looking for a 4G modem that:
+ - connects via USB or Raspberry Pi Hat (this would be for a Pi Zero W)
+ - uses normal SIM cards
+ - has good Linux support and can take advantage of existing software (I will
+   probably be writing my own software but I'd like to be able to read others'
+   code rather than going in blind)
+ - can place calls, SMS, and MMS
+ - can receive calls, SMS, and MMS
+ - (optional) can use data connectivity
+ - (optional) is cheap
+Any and all advice would be very greatly appreciated - both hardware
+recommendations, and, if you have any, software recommendations. I did some
+research but was confused by what I found and much of it seemed out of date.

+Issues declaring a constant array of strings
+I'm trying to declare an array of strings like so:
+    char **a = {
+        { 'a','b','c','d','\n', '\0' },
+        { 'a','b','c','d', '\0' },
+        { 'a','b','c', '\0' }
+    }
+I'm declaring the strings as arrays of characters because I need to insert
+character constants defined in an included header file.
+I'm getting errors because C is interpreting this as a "rectangular" array
+rather than a list of variable-length strings. Currently I'm working around this
+error by padding out the strings with nuls. Is there a better way to do this?
