What Are Stackshots For Mac

stackshots uses the BrowserStack's Screenshot API to take screenshots from websites and downloads to your computer.It's great for automated tests to get a glance of your site in different browsers.

I have an early 2009 Mac Pro tower, running El Capitan with 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, and it keeps rebooting itself without warning. I'm trying to figure out if this is a fixable issue or if my hardware is finally hitting a point of no return. It doesn't seem tied to any particular piece of software. Called “stackshots”, these are used by Apple support for diagnostic purposes. You can capture these photos by simultaneously pressing the volume down and playback buttons on the Siri remote. In this guide, however, you do not capture screenshots directly on your Apple TV device for diagnostic purposes.

Note that this feature needs as of now, a 'Regular' BrowserStack plan. Please, see BrowserStack for more details.
