alt Hacker News> I'm more surprised that any application can prevent sleep _when you close the lid_.
Absolutely. If my options are 1) halt the process when the lid closes or 2) let the battery die heating up the inside of my bag and then the process halts anyway when the laptop dies then please, please let me choose #1!
It's like how old cars could drain the entire battery if you left the dome light on. Why would they allow that?
This shouldn’t be the default option and those Mac users that actually need to run processes while laptop is in the backpack can choose to use amphetamine (the app)
