Apps & Games content ratings on Softonic
Content ratings help you understand the type of content you might find in an app or game, so you can decide if they are suitable for you and your family.
What do the ratings actually tell me?
Content ratings describe the minimum age we feel the content is suitable for. It does not indicate that the app was specifically designed for that particular age, or if a certain level of skill is required to play the game or use the app.
Where can I find the content ratings?
You will find the content ratings on every app or game page.
Why are some apps or games unrated?
If an app or game does not have a rating, it means that it has not yet been rated, or it’s been rated and we’re working to update the page.
Rating Systems
Softonic uses the rating systems by PEGI and ESRB. The ratings you see may vary by country or region.
Articles Caffeine
The subtle Caffeine menu bar item is built for one thing in specific: keeping your Mac from going to sleep. It comes in handy if you want to be able to use your Mac whenever, without waiting for it to come out of sleep or hibernation or of putting up a screensaver.
I wouldn't overuse Caffeine though, because sleep and screensavers are there for a reason, that is conserving your computer's energy, and also making better use of the battery. If you keep your Mac always on and active, you are using more energy without giving your Mac a rest.
If you need to keep your Mac awake though, it's very easy with Caffeine. You activate it by clicking on the menu bar item. If you keep the Command key pressed at the same time you'll bring the program menu.
Caffeine keeps your Mac awake. Just don't overuse it otherwise it might get edgy.

Recommend to use it only on iMac but never the notebook. It will drain your juice.
