These YT videos are what set Snazzy Labs out above the crowd for me years ago. Glad to see he brought back his unique skills!

Homebrew can also install GUI apps (casks). And you can automate installing all of your software on new Mac just by two commands, which is awesome.
-
9:06 - Quick tip, an even easier way to just open the current directory you're in from the command line is by using the command "open ." The "." means the current folder, and the "open" command just opens that specific folder in finder. If anyone reads this I hope that helps you! haha

20:52 iina on mac is actually based on mpv. there's an option to build mpv as a library (what is called libmpv) and this is what iina uses
-
Useful tip... CTRL+L is the keyboard shortcut for the clear command. As a bonus, it also works on Linux and Windows (PowerShell). Save those keystrokes!
-
btop has way more functionality over regular htop which you may find useful! :)

25:27 shoutout to the sponsorblock community for having an incredible sense of humour š

A great workflow I found is to save the installed packages using `brew list` and `mas list`, and then easily reinstall them if I wipe my OS or move to a new computer.
-
Yessss this is EXACTLY the kind of āobscureā macOS content that I want injected right into my veins
-
Two more things about brew that make it awesome: 1. With brew casks you can install nearly any Mac GUI app. Google Chrome, VLC, Steam, 1 Password etc. 2. You can feed brew a list of packages and casks to install all at once. Together with the MAS utility in the video, going from a clean computer to having all of your utilities and apps installed becomes a breeze. No need to go to each app's website/App Store page and installing apps manually. Still need to sign into each app though.

I wonder what the oldest code in OSX is at this point. Like, is there a BSD line dating back to the late 90's? Don't know why this video made me think about that.

āIf youāre not familiar with Vimā¦ youāre gonna need to learn Vimā Thanks, this hits even harder when you know Vim
-
Can I just say, I thoroughly enjoy your info and tips for mac - I much prefer your style of delivery in this video. Thanks for all the content either way

This is what sets snazzy labs apart from the rest. Giving that extra edge to what many tech focused channels missā¦ because frankly itās becoming lost on the majority of people. So many have āgrown upā with technology donāt REALLY have much of an understanding of how it works other than pretty the superficial. It feels like the bar is so low that if you can remember your password or scan a QR code you are tech savvy. I work in marketing but have a fairly decent background in technology so when I open terminal your average employee thinks Iām a āhackerā haha. Iām also who IT tends to go to see if I can get around stuff that they are deploying to the rest of the team that is using Macs, but I really donāt know much. Just enough to get myself in trouble.

I'm legitimately shocked that Quinn doesn't know about the macOS Terminal command "open". Whatever directory you are in, typing "open ." will open the current directory as a folder in Finder. "Open" can be used in the Terminal to open any file using the GUI.
-
I hope you'll make this a regular series.
-
As an old time Unix guy this video makes me very happy. I'm about to upgrade my Mac and this is a good prompt to install a package manager on it.
-
instead of `speedtest-cli` you could use `networkQuality` comes already installed with Mac OS Monterey and later
-
Such a great video. While I actually do have homebrew already, I havenāt used it much lately. This gave me some inspiration to rethink some of my workflows. So please donāt hesitate to cover these more niche topics from time to time ;)
