Accumulating evidence suggests that AAT reduces the activity of proinflammatory cytokines and increases the release of antiinflammatory mediators (11, 12). For example, AAT upregulates the expression of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-Ra (IL-1 receptor antagonist) and blocks the release of IL-1 and TNFα (tumor necrosis factor-α) in.

UPDATE: Tim Standing, VP of Software Engineering for OWC Holdings Inc., takes a deep dive into APFS Thanks to sharp-eyed Rocket Yard commenter Chris pointing us to an Apple support document, we now have a bit more information on macOS High Sierra, Apple File System, and how it all works on Macs and on volumes that are formatted with the legacy HFS+ file system.

The Status Indicator Light (SIL) on Mac mini and Mac Pro has different patterns based on the state of your Mac. These patterns also occur on some MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac models, though not all Macs have a SIL. If you have a Mac Pro, learn about the status indicator light behavior on Mac Pro (2019).

After you press the power button

Every time you turn on your Mac, it performs various hardware checks. If the SIL flashes one or more times after you turn on the computer, and the pattern repeats after a brief pause, there may be a hardware issue. To isolate the issue, run Apple Diagnostics.

During startup

When you press the power button to turn on the computer, the SIL also turns on. As the computer starts up, the SIL stays on until the processor (GPU) has initialized and the display turns on. When the GPU initializes properly, the display turns on and the SIL turns off simultaneously.

On Mac mini models from 2011 and newer, the SIL stays on when the computer is powered on.

During operation or display sleep

While the computer is operating, the SIL remains off. If the display turns off but the computer is still on, the SIL turns on and does not blink. It remains like this until the display turns back on, at which time the SIL turns off again.

On Mac mini models from 2011 and newer, the SIL remains on when the computer is operating.

You can turn on Display Sleep by pressing Control-Shift-Eject. To change your Display Sleep settings, drag the 'Turn display off after' slider in the Energy Saver or Battery pane of System Preferences.

During sleep

When your Mac sleeps, the SIL pulsates on and off slowly. On Mac mini models introduced in 2018 or later, the SIL stays on when the computer is in sleep. You can customize your Mac's sleep behavior in the Energy Saver or Battery pane of System Preferences.

On Mac notebook computers, if the battery is completely depleted and the computer goes into Safe Sleep, the SIL doesn't illuminate at all.

During shut down

When you choose the Shut Down command, macOS first turns off the GPU. This turns the display off. When the display turns off, the SIL turns on. During the few seconds of shutdown, but before power is removed from the main logic board, the SIL remains on and will not blink.

When the computer is fully shut down, the SIL turns off.

Firmware recovery mode

If Mac mini (M1, 2020) is in firmware recovery mode, the status indicator light rapidly flashes amber three times, briefly flashes amber three times, then rapidly flashes amber three times. This repeats until the computer is turned off. You might need to revive your Mac mini. If you still need help, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Does the Blue Light from Our Devices Really Affect Our Sleep?

Blue light that come from our devices are in much shorter frequencies than those we experience from the sun since they are designed to project bright light. These lights are interpreted by the mind as daylight signals. It is this that causes blue light to affect your sleep, or is it? Keep reading to learn about whether blue lights from your cell phone, tablet, or other electronic device are affecting your sleep and if so, how you can stop it from happening.

So, does blue light from our devices mess with your sleep? Or is that a myth?
Here are a few factors that show us blue lights to slow down our sleep but not by much as we are about to find out:

Blue Light Affects Melatonin Production
Blue light tells the area of your brain to shut off Melatonin production. Melatonin is released to help your body sleep and in this way, blue light inhibits sleep.

Blue Light Affects Your Circadian Rhythm
The Blue light mimics the light of day so when you use devices at night, you may affect your Circadian rhythms. This leads to higher risk of developing diseases like heart attack, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and others.

Lack of Sleep Caused by Blue Light Disruptions is Harmful
If blue lights are affecting your sleep pattern, you also may not get enough sleep. This can lead to depression, mood problems, anxiety, and increased accidents from lack of coordination or balance.

Can Blue Light Damage Your Eye?
The leading cause of long-term eye damage is macular degeneration, which is age-related, and cataracts and blindness, which can be caused by many things. It is not believed that the blue light from your device will damage your eye, though the blue light from LED light bulbs can be harmful. These are harsher.

What You Can Do to Make Sure Blue Light is Not Affecting You
Here are a few ways to make the blue lights from your devices work so you can ensure better or more fulfilling sleep at night and long-term health of your body, mind, and eyes 🤓.

1. About two hours before bedtime, turn your devices off.
2. Special glasses have been made to block some of the blue lights almost like sunglasses. You may want to invest in these if you cannot turn off your device at night.
3. Software that is called F. Lux. Works on the colour of your computer by going with the time of day and adjusting the background lighting accordingly.
4. Android users have an app called twilight that works like F. Lux, to lessen the damaging effects of blue lights.

The conclusion to this is, YES, the blue light from our devices are not good, but they are not as bad as LED lights or the sun. Using the apps on your devices to filter the blue lights will help, as will taking a break from your devices before bedtime or wearing special sunglasses to eliminate blue lights.
