The video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbjIx1qhvpM uses Quickier
I used QCamera: the XI100USB shows up as a camera.
Note capturing takes a lot of CPU power, so ensure you’re not running on battery.
I didn’t need any of these downloads:
On a Mac any of these software tools should work as well:
- Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder
- Adobe Connect
- CoGe VJ
- Discover Video Streamsie
- Gotomeeting
- GrandVJ

From the “I hate my users” department:
- This dialog pops up every 10 seconds
- The Office 2011 for Mac update requires non-Office apps to quit as well

I forgot to blog about this before, but 2 months ago PowerShell core came available: [WayBack] PowerShell Core 6.0: Generally Available (GA) and Supported! | PowerShell Team Blog.
[WayBack] Installing PowerShell Core on macOS and Linux | Microsoft Docs is easy (one way is through homebrew:
$ brew tap caskroom/cask
$ brew cask install powershell
If you already installed a beta, then the steps are these:
$ brew update
$ brew cask reinstall powershell
Note that after installation, it is known as pwsh (at least one of the betas named it powershell) to set PowerShell Core apart from PowerShell*:
$ pwsh --version
PowerShell v6.0.2
Via: [WayBack] PowerShell Core 6.0 is a new edition of PowerShell that is cross-platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux), open-source, and built for heterogeneous environm… – Lars Fosdal – Google+
*pwsh versus powershell
There has been quite a discussion on the PowerShell Core repository on the rename, but I think it is for a good reason.
Too bad that during part of the beta, the old name powershell was used, but beta-time means things break every now and then.
PowerShell Core is sufficiently different from prior PowerShell versions to warrant a name change. This also makes it a lot easier to use them side-by-side.
Many other names (like posh, pcsh or psh) were considered, usually because of naming conflicts with existing tools (like posh) or easy confusion with existing shells (like pcsh and csh). A benefit on Linux/macOS is that it now ends with sh like virtually all other shells.

It should be all automagic as soon as I format an SD card as journaled HFS, but in case it isn’t, here are some links:

With system account starting with underscore:
dscl . list /Users
Without underscore, so only regular accounts:
dscl . list /Users | grep -v ^_.*

There still is no ps xf on Mac OS X.
You need brew install pstree for that. Then you can excute pstree which gives you a treeview of the processes running.

I’m still amazed this is not in stock Mac OS X:
In Finder > Select a folder > Right click, we get a popup with an option to create a new folder:Is there a way to add menu item New Textfile for adding a new text file?

It looks like when syncing folders between Mac OS X (MacOS X?) and Windows, many directories get empty Icon? files have a size of 0 bytes.
None of these directories had custom icons, so I’m inclined to remove them all from the Google Drive folder:
find . -name 'Icon*' -size 0 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Free and – unlike the also free [WayBack] dupeGuru – finds duplicate files – hasn’t crashed on my system yet or fails to add folders:
Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about Duplicate File Finder for files & folders. Download Duplicate File Finder for files & folders for Mac OS X 10.9 or later and enjoy it on your Mac.

cd /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb/Joshua\ Priddle’s\ MacBook\ Pro/Latest/Macintosh\ HD/Users/priddle
tmutil restore -v secret_docs.txt ~/
Learned from [WayBack] Restoring files from OS X Time Machine with Terminal.app:
- do not use
cp as it will give you wrong permissions
- do use
tmutil
