That worked. Previously if the Mac was off with the cover open, connecting the power would elicit a charging chime like an iOS thingie, then the Mac would boot up.
Not now, though. Now under such circumstances after connecting the power & hearing the chime a battery level indicator briefly shows on the screen.
Autoboot when opening the cover is also disabled.

I think it is only the pro models. I get annoyed when connecting the power boots it up as well. I'm investigating a Terminal script to disable the connect power/lift lid auto bootup process.

No idea.

That's alarming.

Better hurry. If that pic isn’t inverted it’s gonna fall out of the dish.

Which screen? iMac or MB Pro? Both are great. Muchly-reduced eyestrain.

I just did something on the MacBook Pro that was never going to work effectively with the MacBook Air. Shared the 4k iMac's screen in fullscreen mode with no loss of resolution. There were updates needed & I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed.

Observations from a new MacBook Pro user:
1: I miss the startup chime.2: I like the new turn on by lifting the lid feature.

I set an alarm this morning for 6 am using the HomePod. I distinctly recall hearing the alarm and punching madly at the off button to no avail.

Then I was fully awake & aware of the difference between reality & dream-state. In the dream I was trying to turn the alarm off using a timepiece that's not been used that way for a dozen years.
