    How to entirely disable sleep on a Macbook

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 10:01 PM PST

    While trying to play music with the lid closed I discovered that Macbooks go to sleep when closed, and there isn't an option to disable it. There are loads of utilities on the app store, but none of them worked for me.

    After a lot of digging I discovered a command which will disable sleep on a Macbook. In the terminal type sudo pmset disablesleep 1 and then enter your password. To re-enable sleep functionality use sudo pmset disablesleep 0. This is a very low level setting, hence the password requirement, so use it at your own risk.

    If you don't mind a little bit of technical setup, there is a script here which will allow you to just type wake in the terminal to disable sleep. It has the added feature of re-enabling sleep automatically when the script is closed.

    I use this command on a 2015 MBP.

    What is the meaning of the black dot in the red circle? i realized that some programs have it and others don't. Sublime Text on the other hand only has it when I'm editing .html files.

    Buying used 13” Pro 2016 question

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 04:43 PM PST

    I'm considering buying a used MacBook Pro 13 on eBay and from the description everything checks out. What I want to know is how can I fully confirm there's nothing the previous user has left installed (ie spyware)? Could I take it to an Apple store to get checked?

    Do you guys like the keyboard in the newer macbook pro?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 12:41 PM PST

    The low key travel is a bit of a bummer to me. I haven't seen a lot of complaints about it so I am curious on what most people think about the direction Apple is going with this.

    MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 11:12 AM PST

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with 4 gig ram and 256 gig HD. I bought it used 3 years ago and it definitely served its purpose and has been great.It is working alright but it is definitely slowing down now. I was going to update the ram and hard drive but seeing as it is no longer going to be supported software wise I am looking to just buy another used or refurbished one. I don't have money to buy new.

    I'm torn between buying another MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air. Probably around 2014-2015 models or newer since I want them to be supported for a little longer.

    I hate Windows, so buying a different laptop would be out of the question for me, though I am fully aware I could get a new laptop for cheaper if it wasn't a Mac.

    My main use would be for masters courses I am thinking about taking online (as soon as I get a new laptop). It is recommended to have at least 8gb ram and 256gb hard drive or more for these classes.

    Any insight would be helpful! TIA

    Clear your cache and kill mDNSResponder: get immediate faster internet.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 09:25 AM PST

    I'll keep it short. Simple steps:

    1. Open Terminal
    2. Run command: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder (type admin password)
    3. Run command dscacheutil -flushcache

    You will notice increased speed and less lag. If you want to know why, Let me now. I'll explain as best I can.

    Basically, it clears useless junk you don't need that bogs down.

    Let me know if you have question!

    Value of a MacBook Pro 2015 (faulty)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 03:39 AM PST

    Thinking of making the switch to an iPad Pro, so considering selling my MacBook, but no idea what to charge. After staingate it has a brand new screen with very minimal damage around the unit. However, the keyboard works intermittently and may be down to either a swollen battery or faulty trackpad cable. Due to being somewhat confused about how it's actually faulty, not sure what to charge. What would you pay or would you even buy a faulty MacBook? Thanks

    512gb or Touchbar?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 02:48 AM PST

    I work in UI design and finally making the switch to apple. I was very close to buying a 13" 256gb macbook with touchbar but after second thoughts I realised I could double my hdd, sacrificing the touchbar.

    I was just planning to make do with google drive/ext hdd and make do, with about 80gb worth of apps and the rest on work things since I have all my personal media and files on a server anyway.

    I thought the touchbar would be useful since I like macro's a lot and never touch the top row anyway.

    What do you guys think?
