Hello.
How do I tell mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using in a 2020 >> Intel MBP? I only want to set this as a test since I'm trying to figure >> out why this MBP crashes when waking up after sleeping once in a while. >> So far on power AC connection, it never crashes with sleep disabled.
macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4) doesn't have an option to do that. I only can >> disable its power nap and display sleep.
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the display sleeps.
If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after" setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you have a screen saver enabled too.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>
Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.
Do you also recommend THIS facility?
https://github.com/x74353/Amphetamine-Enhancer
Thanks.
Ooh. Interesting that Enhancer is from GitHub (not Apple's app store),
but it requires the original Amphetamine from Apple's App Store. I
wonder why not offer from Github too?
Also, Redditors told me about caffeinate command in Terminal which works
too and already included in macOS!

He pisses off an entire group of people who are mere civilians, but that's
a conceited fool for you. What you and I care about isn't a factor. Time
to blame the lack of many eyes!
I'm about to plonk him, myself. Like all idiots, he's repeatably looking
for some way to blame, no matter how bizarre the charge. I will not listen
to his response to this post. He is humiliated, wants to blame others, and
will fly off the handle. Most likely starting with a conceited "Ha!", as
if what I've written is SO absurd. That BADish "approach" was him going
too far, for me.
For all the gloating Toasty's done on this topic, the 'Front End Designer' doesn't know how to do this. It only takes a couple seconds to highlight
a paragraph and 'PDF convert' it.
Your system will crawl while finding a way to stop Toasty.
And in response you have nothing but an attempt to start more flooding.
The guy is as loved as pork pie in a mosque -- and with good reason.
