Greetings, I have a 2021 Macbook Air and if you touch the trackpad, keyboard, or plug or unplug anything from the 2 usb c ports, it will turn on. To me this is asking for trouble. How do I turn this feature off? I want to have more control over my Macbook and ONLY turn on when I hit the power button as in the ol' days. Other than that, it's a great and stable little flawless running Macbook.
