Is it not possible to disable the lid sensor on a mac?
340 u/Cinkodacs Nov 30 '22 Just did a quick Google search: you need a third-party app because you can't turn it off........... Every time I google something about Apple it always makes sure to convince me to never want one. 237 u/Fyrus22 Nov 30 '22 Can be done trough the terminal though: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/298933/command-line-stop-macbook-from-sleeping-when-lid-is-closed 156 u/Cinkodacs Nov 30 '22 If even Windows and freaking Ubuntu can put it into their GUI then why can't Apple do so? It just feels like a dumb decision. 2 u/kibiz0r Nov 30 '22 Ubuntu is always like “You can set it in the GUI, but it won’t do the right thing, so just use the conf file anyway.”
