      ​@@FeelsDonkMan I've seen a lot of YT videos that show brief clips of other UA-cam videos. You obviously would need to download those videos to insert them into your editor to nicely cut out the clip you want to insert into your video. Not sure what the legalities of this are, but I see it done all the time.

    I’m a software engineer and I use homebrew on every Mac I touch. The htop tool wasn’t something I was aware of though so I learned something from this video. The image magic tricks were pretty slick. If you learn just a little bit about bash scripting and executable files, you can write a script that runs all of those commands for you in sequence. It would make for a pretty awesome automated work flow. Thanks for the video. These ones are by far my favs from you.

      A Mac mustn’t be more expensive than a good pc if you buy a used one. My actual iMac has already a 256 GB SSD, is 3 years old and has cost me 600 €. A good new PC with monitor, keyboard and mouse costs the same or more, but when you try to sell it after 5 years or so, you get a 6-pack of beer for it.

    - have one capitol letter
    - have a number
    -have a lower case letter
    - have a special character
    - have n numper of characters
    I’ve slowly adopted keychain and I’m not really up for letting go of it for a different pw manager.

    Snazzy finally discovers what Linux/BSD users have been using for years: the Unix command line. I find it fascinating you can be so impressed that a .dmg can be downloaded, verified, extracted, and installed with a single command -- this requires 4 lines of BASH script, tops. The real tragedy is that Apple treats the command line as something to be hidden in the Utilities folder rather than a first class citizen in the Dock.

      I've been on the Apple platform since the 80s, so I'm semi-expert and frequently am asked to help people with their macOS and iOS devices. Given the "isn't that obvious?"-type questions I field from coworkers, friends and family members about basic macOS functions, I wouldn't want any of these people anywhere near the command line. There's staggering potential to totally eff things up if they can't even grasp the basics of the "regular" GUI or do their own basic troubleshooting. They're more interested in playing on social media than they are learning the basics of their OSes.

So I'd highly encourage everyone to check out the Terminal at least once in their life. I just discovered how limited the macOS Terminal is when trying to edit a plist of Apple News (so that it wouldn't be unhidden by default). Couldn't even do that, SIP locked me out :'D

    you can 'clear' the terminal via CTRL-L
    your terminal can auto complete file names and utility names via TAB
    if you type "da" and then TAB you'll see several options, one of which is "date"
    most programs have manuals, you can get very good help by typing "man UTILITY" example "man date"
    some manual pages might show "utility(3)" type "man 3 utility"
