Feb 27, 2021 Latest Automated Nightly Build OS X installer packages for 10.11 and for 10.6. Be sure to install the latest stable X11 from Xquartz.org (2.7.9 as of May 05, 2016). With considerable help from Nat Echols, we can now build coot automatically every night when a new revision is made available. I have three versions, built on three different. The current Mac operating system is macOS, originally named 'Mac OS X' until 2012 and then 'OS X' until 2016. Developed between 1997 and 2001 after Apple's purchase of NeXT, Mac OS X brought an entirely new architecture based on NeXTSTEP, a Unix system, that eliminated many of the technical challenges that the classic Mac OS faced.

We all know that one of the more important features of a laptop is its battery capacity, it makes no sense to have a laptop that only last for an hour on batteries, another important thing now a days, is that we all want our laptops to be 'always on' I mean, like our phones, always in standby just like an iPad.

And, as you may have notice this are opposite features, if you have it always on you will loose battery and if you save battery, it will not wake up as fast as you may want it to do it.

Now, let's understand a little bit the differences between sleep and hibernate:

Sleep mode

In sleep mode the computer tries to cut the energy from all computer's components like hard disks, display and others, and only keeps the power to the RAM, as there is where the current settings are stored.

In this mode the wake up time is really short (just a pair of seconds) but the power is still draining as RAM is working.

Hibernate mode

In this mode, the operating system is going to copy the RAM contents to the hard disk, and will shut the computer off, when you want it to wake up, it will boot from this image saved on the disk, and will restore the computer the last state it has before going to hibernate.

Enough, let's now see how we can be sure we have the best of both worlds with our Macbook.

Let's see the current state of the power management settings.

You should see something like this:

There are three parameters that we want to check here:

From the man page:

hibernatemode takes a bitfield argument defining SafeSleep behavior. Passing 0 disables SafeSleep altogether, forcing the computer into a regular sleep.

standby causes kernel power management to automatically hibernate a machine after it has slept for a specified time period. This saves power while asleep. This setting defaults to ON for supported hardware. The setting standby will be visible in pmset -g if the feature is supported on this machine.

And:

standbydelay specifies the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering off memory for Standby.

With hibernatemode in '3' we have the default settings, which means that the computer will use sleep and not hibernate, as the default when the lid is closed, but because standby is set to ON, the computer will wait standbydelay seconds, before switching from sleep to hibernate

As you can see this is great, as you can now close the lid of your laptop, and you have n seconds to go back to it, and still have a fast 'boot' time, but if you stay away more than that, it will go into hibernate mode, and will save your battery.

You can change the time you want your laptop to wait before going into hibernate mode with this command:

Change 1200 to the number of seconds you want it to wait in sleep mode before going to hibernate mode.

If you need to set you laptop in sleep mode and turn on the standby mode (They should be on, as those are the default), enter these commands.

and:

With those settings, I have a laptop that waits for me in sleep mode for 30 minutes, after that, it better goes to hibernate as it may take longer for me to return to work :).

One last note:

If you forget to close the lid, the sleep parameter will dictate when your computer is going to go to sleep, that setting is in minutes, so in my case it will wait for 10 minutes on, and then if there is no activity on the keyboard or mouse, it will go to sleep for 30 minutes and finally to hibernate.

Every major version of ~~Mac OS X~~ macOS has come with a new default wallpaper. As you can see, I have collected them all here.

While great in their day, the early wallpapers are now quite small in the world of 5K and 6K displays.

If you are looking for Mac OS 9 wallpapers, this page is for you.

10.0 Cheetah & 10.1 Puma

The first two releases of Mac OS X shared the same wallpaper. The sweeping blue arcs and curves helped set the tone of the new Aqua interface.
