To make use of a Mac with the lid shut, i.e. Clamshell mode, one wants:
- An influence adapter
- Exterior Mouse or keyboard
- Exterior monitor
Now, why is that? I imply why did Apple design it that method. I am certain there wants be a rationale.
I do know one can use third-party apps or terminal command, together with the undocumented (no point out of it in man pmset
) pmset disablesleep 1
.
However that is not my query. I need to know the rationale behind it, or not less than doable causes for it.
