• Boss demands fauxductivity

  Caffeine is a great one here. Isn't installed as such, just need to be able to run it. Source: over 1 year ago

• ULPT: If you work from home, buy a mouse jiggler

  I just use Caffine. Works great. No tweaking necessary, it just works. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Chat stops updating when computer idle for a couple minutes/no screen saver turned on or anything

• Micro-managing boss keeps track of how many times my MS Teams says I'm "away"... So now this is happening

  Get caffeine.exe from this link (bottom of the page). It's just an exe file. No installation. It sits in the bottom right corner. It will press F15 every 59 seconds.

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch. It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• ACC + Steam working great with apple's game porter

  Fantastic! I read that it is an M1, but what model and configuration exactly is it? If you like and are curious, install this app https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/, it tells you everything, temperature, fan RPM, etc. Source: 11 months ago

• MacBook Pro keeps heating up really fast.

  You can monitor the internal temperatures with iStat Menus or similar, but there's really no need. The system automatically adjusts fan speed to cool itself off when needed. Source: 12 months ago
