Probably want to check your policies if using a business-owned mac. Caffeinate probably violates your security policies if it’s a decent sized company.

      Caffeinate with -u and then lock your screen. (Apple menu -> lock screen) It'll stay connected/running/screen-on/etc but it's still locked.

  You can lock the screen while caffeinated though.

    Automatic screensaver enable after a period of inactivity is considered a fail safe control.

      `caffeinate` can set assertions, the same assertions that Zoom or PowerPoint or Keynote do to stop the screen going to sleep during a meeting or presentation, the same assertions that the browsers can set during streaming video, so you absolutely can bypass whatever your admins set using `caffeinate -dmisu` which sets every assertion available.

        It’s not about capabilities, it’s about policy. Willfully violating security policies is generally going to go over poorly.

  I thought that was its primary use case these days
