On my list of tools to play around with: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – glotlabs/gdrive: Google Drive CLI Client
With a warning though from the documentation (emphasis mine):
Gdrive saves your account credentials and tokens under $HOME/.config/gdrive3/. You don’t usually need to use these files directly, but if someone gets access to them, they will also be able to access your Google Drive. Keep them safe.
and from the gdrive2 prior version more elaborate documentation [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – prasmussen/gdrive: Google Drive CLI Client:

I need to check out which ROM my Apple //e and //c have as per [Wayback/Archive] Single Step in Monitor | Applefritter comment by [Wayback/Archive] jeffmazur | Applefritter:
Depends upon which machine and ROM version you have.
The original Apple II monitor does have an S command to single step code in the Monitor. That was removed however to add other features and was not restored until ROM00 of the //c. There are however various 3rd-party ROM images that also have the Step and Trace commands, for example ROMeX and ROM4X, APPLEII.EDM, etc.
There are also hardware boards available to do this as well

I totally agree with the first comment of [Wayback/Archive] Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube as it holds not just for file management, but for naming anything including software development:
I’ve watched many videos on file management, but this one explains naming very clearly.
- 0:31 Rule 1: No Spaces
- 2:40 Rule 2: Avoid Special Characters
- 3:43 Rule 3: Be Descriptively Concise
- 4:24 Rule 4: Case Sensitivity
- 5:00 Rule 5: Dates and Sorting
- 6:40 Rule 6: Be Consistent!

This still works for Apple Silicon based Macs: [Wayback/Archive] How can I tell what wattage my MacBook Pr… – Apple Community
TL;DR:
- Either:
- ⌘-space -> System Information.app
- menu -> About This Mac -> More Info… -> System Report…
Note that “System Report…” starts the “System Information.app” (how cool would naming consistency be…)
- Hardware -> Power
- Browse down to “AC Charger Information”
On my M1 MacBook Pro, the values depend on the charging ports used:

Often connections are TCP based, but sometimes UDP is all you have to test with, so I was quite surprised that testing that was quite forward. The solutions by [Wayback/Archive] How to Do a UDP Ping in Linux works on any platform where you can have nmap or netcat on installed (which by now is almost all platforms including Windows):

It took me a few queries to find the correct online solution for this problem: after adding a TrueType (and it’s extension: OpenType) font using the built-in MacOS Font Book, they do not show up in Pages or Preview, not even after validating the fonts in Font Book.
Solutions:
- reboot (found this out myself)
- killing the fontd font daemon from the Activity Monitor
- restart font daemon (found out via the link below)
launchctl kickstart -k gui/`id -u`/com.apple.xtyped
The last one does not work on my Apple Silicon machine, the first two work fine.
For Preview, you have to Force Quit it then start it (so it re-opens all the previous files) to take effect.
I needed this, because I

n modern versions of Mac OS, like macOS Mojave, Catalina, Sierra, OS X El Capitan, and Yosemite, you can shorten the syntax considerably as so:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences |grep SSIDString
In prior versions of Mac OS X, you can opt for the same as the above command, or use the lengthier string below with heavy regex:

With the permission of Adobe Systems Inc., the Computer History Museum is pleased to make available, for non-commercial use, the source code to the 1990 version 1.0.1 of Photoshop. All the code is here with the exception of the MacApp applications library that was licensed from Apple. There are 179 files in the zipped folder, comprising about 128,000 lines of mostly uncommented but well-structured code. By line count, about 75% of the code is in Pascal, about 15% is in 68000 assembler language, and the rest is data of various sorts.
