Keep your Mac awake (disable lid and idle sleep) (how to)

A lot of people were using a convenient little application called InsomniaX to disable temporarily the sleep feature on MacOS that is activated due to inactivity after a few minutes or when you close your laptop's lid (screen). 

However, a security vulnerability was identified in the software and after that point in time it is considered a legacy software as it is no longer actively being developed. 

There are alternatives depending on what you want to do. The easiest way to keep the mac from going to sleep is to use a terminal window with the built-in command: caffeinate

However, this does not help when you change focus from that particular terminal window or need to temporarily close your laptop's lid without going into sleep mode.

EXPO 2020 Dubai - Connecting Minds, Creating the Future

EXPO 2020 Dubai (www.expo2020dubai.com) is a MEGA-event that was built from the ground up! 


Expo 2020 (Arabic: إكسبو 2020‎) is a World Expo to be hosted by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. 

Expo 2020 was scheduled to open its doors in Oct/2020, but due to the pandemic it was postponed to 2021 (will be running for 6 months, from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022) while keeping its original brand name as "EXPO 2020 Dubai".

(See the wikipedia page for more information)
.

If you are already resident in the UAE you can seize a unique opportunity to volunteer for EXPO 2020. The Expo 2020 Volunteers Programme, like most of the world’s mega events, is at the heart of the first World Expo that will take place in MEASA (Middle East, Africa and South Asia) region.
