KeepingYouAwake VS RDM

KeepingYouAwake. Prevents your Mac from going to sleep.

Hi, I have been using slack on my company provided mac and I have installed https://keepingyouawake.app/ to keep my macbook awake indefinitely. When I keep the slack application open for so many hours, I can still see the green dot on slack and it has never marked me as 'away'. So, I'm wondering if others can see me as 'online' if the green bubble is showing up on my slack application for so many hours?

I use this app, KeepingYouAwake works perfect for when I am trying to seed my torrents with a locked screen

FWIW, you might want to give the excellent and open-source alternative https://keepingyouawake.app/ a try.

I like https://github.com/newmarcel/KeepingYouAwake for prevent sleeping mac

As for the M1 "server" always going to sleep, I installed: https://github.com/newmarcel/KeepingYouAwake

Do people really not know about caffeine indicator, KeepingYouAwake or caffeine for windows ?

Download this tool and try out one of the „⚡️“ resolution options it‘ll give you in the menu bar.

another tool i highly recommend is Retina Display Menu (RDM).

In the mean time however, I can recommend a free application that I found worked wonders for my display. While I tried BetterDisplay, and love everything the developer does, I found when changing resolution the process was a bit clunky. Instead I recommend RDM. It is as easy as installing the application, opening it, clicking the little icon in the menu bar, and selecting a resolution with a little lightning bolt next to it (HiDPi resolution) which should give you a crisp, well scaled, external monitor. Then every time you restart your max it should automatically open the application and apply these settings!

i've never understood how to install these repositories form GitHub, how do i install this one? https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM

The software they discuss, RDM (https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM), allows you to force a specific resolution, and will likely send you down the right path. To use this, You will probably have to change the resolution before you launch your game, and then change it back afterwards, otherwise you’ll find yourself losing items behind the notch in the menu bar.

Use RDM https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM Still working on my M1 Mac mini on latest beta

use RDM or other forks to create hidpi res and stuffs will look good :p

Yeah, using non-Apple monitors with a mac is a pain. Try "Retina Display Manager" - https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM - as it allows you to switch to the sharper HiDPI resolutions supported on your monitor.
