    I want to prevent the Touch Bar from sleeping when left inactive

    I just bought a new MacBook with Touch Bar and when ever I'm watching something, or the Touch Bar is left inactive, it dims and sleeps which is really annoying to me. Is there any terminal command or apple script through which I can disable this feature. I searched all the settings and it isn't...

    Gaming on MacBook Pro 2016 with Touchbar

    I want to play games on my MacBook but I don't think it will be able to sufficiently run them, so I was wondering if buying the Samsung T5 external SSD (500gb one) would be a good idea? The plan is to install windows bootcamp onto the T5 and put my games on it so I can plug it in and play...

    The Out-of-Touch Bar is a UI/UX disaster.

    More than two years in and I have yet to find anyone who thinks this is a good idea. Time waster not a time saver; decreases efficiency and removes one-touch access to critical functions like volume and brightness control. Hidden sliders? Really? Look down, locate, touch to expand, locate the...

    2017 Touch ID sudo -- window not in front

    I followed the instructions at http://osxdaily.com/2017/11/22/use-touch-id-sudo-mac/ to use Touch ID to authenticate sudo from the command line. Alas, it is a clumsy implementation. Instead of the Terminal window permitting use of Touch ID being the front window (with a pink fingerprint), it is...
