Why does my laptops keyboard light up sometimes when it detects motion/movement? (lemmy.world)

I have it set to light up for a time when keys are pressed but that would seemingly fall far outside its authorized mandate

Swear to god: was just getting up off the couch and it lit up, illuminated as blazes! ๐Ÿ’€

If it is lenovo they have a motion sensing / face recognition application that can be set to wake the screen / keyboard etc. Maybe its something like that. Otherwise, it can be vibration of walking near it jiggling the mouse, and the mouse movement does the waking.

    I dunno, my hot take is pretty compelling. Sometimes it pays to be cynical

    I uninstalled it all on mine, my system should not be recording always to check for my face. I think it was the elliptic package or something. It also could check other faces so if somebody walks up behind you it blurs your screen. Might be useful for ITAR / controlled goods stuff but I don't want that AI bullshit on mine.
