Recently I bought a usb-c empty external monitor card to prevent mac from going to sleep. There are many of these external monitor simulators on Amazon.
I still see the laptop go to sleep many times with the external monitor simulator.
This is the one I bought.

What's old is new again, but I welcome this. I used to do this 15 years ago to keep listening to music from my laptop (one of the white chiclet ones) in my backpack, can't remember the name of the app I used then. One caveat, your laptop cannot cool inside a backpack, it will overheat and shut down anyway. This happened to me several times.
Does it also make my Mac irritable?
But Amphetamine has an option to end when an app closes. I’m just so confused why everyone using ai is reinventing solutions that already exist.

Um so it is sudo bash -c 'touch KEEP_RUNNING; pmset -b sleep 0; pmset -b disablesleep 1; while [ -e KEEP_RUNNING ]; do sleep 1; done; pmset -b sleep 5; pmset -b disablesleep 0' and Agent, when you're done do `rm KEEP_RUNNING`, kthxbye. ? (personally I have Ruby scripts that check activity on "tmux capture-output" for that)
This is great. Will check it. Recently I bought a usb-c empty external monitor card to prevent mac from going to sleep. There are many of these external monitor simulators on Amazon.
