Tweets in [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @dosdude1 on Thread Reader App
- Just finished an awesome upgrade on an M1 Mac Studio, upgrading the stock 512GB of storage to its maximum of 8TB. Thanks to Gilles of Polysoft Services reverse-engineering and designing a custom storage module PCBs, I was able to perform the upgrade with ease!
- Be sure to check out my video of the complete upgrade process, found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDFCurB3-0Q
The PCB are by [Wayback/Archive] Polysoft – centre de services à Tours/[WaybackSave/Archive] Gilles AUREJAC (@gillesaurejac) / X Hopefully, they will be available for sale soon.

Since dd on Apple does not support progress parameters via [Wayback] macos dd progress – Google Search:
- [Wayback] Quick: dd with progress indication on macOS
A nice way I found to get progress indication whilst still being able to benefit from the huge speed increase in using /dev/rdiskX is to install a tool called pv, also known as [WayBack] Pipe Viewer.
Example:
sudo dd if=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m | pv -s 64G | sudo dd of=/dev/rdiskY bs=1m
Another way to achieve something similar would be to use brew to install coreutils, which will come with a newer version of dd that supports the status option.
Example:
gdd if=/dev/diskX of=/dev/diskY bs=1m status=progress
- [Wayback] el capitan – How can I track progress of dd – Ask Different
You just need to enter a controlT character from the keyboard while the dd command is executing.
By pressing the controlT character, you are sending the same SIGINFO signal to the dd command that the command pkill -INFO -x dd sends.
dd itself doesn’t provide a progress bar. You may estimate the progress of the dd copy process by adding a pkill -INFO command though.
Example:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=64m count=1000 & while pkill -INFO -x dd; do sleep 1; done
- [Wayback] dd progress indicator on OSX
signal siginfo is coupled to key-combination CTRL-T. No need to use kill, you can just type CTRL-T in the terminal window where dd is running.

Based on [WayBack] Command-Tab Not working….. – Apple Community
If you go to Activity monitor and search for dock, doubleclick on it, choose Force quit.
It will restart the Dock app and now it should work.
I wrote this alias which restarts Dock (including Dashboard and Spaces as they are served by the same process).
alias restart-dock-dashboard-spaces='killall -KILL Dock'

A friend asked me what tools I use for downloading media, converting it to various formats (including audio extraction) and audio editing.
It is a surprisingly short list:
Most of it runs out of the box on Mac OS X/MacOS/OS X, as I’ve moved there form Windows for most of my day to day access to systems (there is a great set of Microsoft Remote Desktop in the app store: [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 on the Mac App Store and [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store; I like the first one better).

The Terminal on Mac OS X / OS X / MacOS is very much like a Linux terminal, but there are also a lot of differences especially with keyboard, tab and process handling.
So this chapter is very much wort reading: [WayBack] 1. Inside the Terminal – Mac OS X For Unix Geeks, 4th Edition [Book]

From [WayBack] Use Preview to combine PDFs on your Mac – Apple Support :Learn how to combine PDFs and reorder, rotate, and delete pages.
Before editing your files: ensure you have a backup!

My Dock kept moving to another monitor every now and then.
This actually seems to be a feature but got me a while to find out what it does at [WayBack] Dock keeps moving between monitors | Official Apple Support Communities:
If you move the mouse to another window and pull it down to very bottom of the screen and hold it there, the dock moves over. To move it back, move the mouse pointer to the screen you want it on and hold the pointer at the very bottom of the screen.
This bites you when an application has features (like tools) at the very bottom of a window.
