Apple has revealed a solution for MacBook users to prevent their devices from automatically turning on when the lid is opened or the power cable is connected. This feature, which has been a standard part of using MacBooks, can now be bypassed with a Terminal-based method aimed at more advanced users. By following a series of commands in the Terminal app, users can customize their startup preferences, allowing their MacBook to only power up when a specific action is taken. This process involves disabling the automatic startup feature and entering specific commands to control the behavior of the laptop. While this may not be a simple fix for everyone, it provides users with more control over how their MacBook operates. This method can be useful for situations where users want to inspect their laptop without it turning on automatically, offering a way to manage the device more effectively. As always, caution is advised when using the Terminal, ensuring users understand the commands they are entering to avoid any unintended consequences.
