There are some apps around for Mac that stop it going to sleep, like Coca and Caffeine. This is a pretty easy one, and although probably isn’t very useful, it’s quite fun! Just type say followed by the text you want it to say, and then press Enter. To remove it, just drag it out of the Dock. Copy this into Terminal to add a new separator: defaults write persistent-apps -array-add '' killall Dock If your finding your Dock a bit too cluttered, you can add some extra separators to space out the icons a bit more.
To turn this off just type: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ LoginwindowText "" I have mine saying Hello to me every time I turn my Mac on. sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ LoginwindowText "Message" Type the following, replacing Message with the desired text. Set a Start-up MessageĪdd some personalisation to your Mac by adding a start-up message. You can also use Terminal to talk to a virtual psychologist! Use the same steps as above, but instead of typing a game, type “doctor” (without the quotation marks). Just type in emacs, press Enter, then press “Esc + X”, and then you can type in the games you want to play. You can play some very cool retro games right inside your Terminal window, and it’s pretty easy too. You can do this in Windows as well, but sometimes you have to enable Telnet on your machine first, so here is a guide for that. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I put this on in one of my rather boring university lectures. The whole thing is in ASCII code, and it looks pretty good. Yes, you can watch the first Star Wars movie straight from Terminal. I’ve been playing around with Terminal recently (the command line interface for Mac), and I’ve come across a few cool things you can do with it.
