auto-dimming display on macbook pro

    Annoyingly, upgrading to 10.5.5 “helpfully” re-enabled this “feature” for me — I had to dig through my preferences to find how to re-disable it.

    I guess the guy who wrote the feature thinks it’s all that and a bag of chips…

    Just came across this tip when trying to figure out how to disable this on my new 13" MBP. Interestingly, my previous 15" MBP wasn't so sensitive – even using it in the exact same locations with same lighting conditions. Anyway, thanks for pointing out where this setting is!
