• Does anyone know a way of downloading the Deep Dive videos from Bandcamp?

  Definitely don’t use any of those screen recording apps - that’s just brute forcing it, you’re reencoding the content and losing a ton of video and audio quality. Any embedded video online (unless is uses DRM, which is not this case) can be extracted and downloaded in original quality. If you’re on a Mac, I strongly recommend using Downie, it’s a great piece of software. https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/... Source: 12 months ago

• Tip: How to download full quality EastEnders 2008 - 2011 (macOS only)

• Fabio Quagliarella emotional substitution

  Though it’s for downloading videos and not screen capping DRM videos, I can’t recommend Downie enough. Source: about 1 year ago

• Traffic cameras for apple tv

  Downie is just an old-school macOS download manager I'm fond of - nothing special. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple A17 Bionic SoC Performance Targets Could be Lowered

  If that sentence sounds confusing then you might want to check out some wrapper apps that are much easier to use. Downie is a paid option, but a lot of people seem to like it. There are other options, but they all use youtube dl internally and function the same. Source: about 1 year ago

• Nvtop: Linux Task Monitor for Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs

  Its not a terminal app like bottom or nvtop but I use https://github.com/exelban/stats and it has iGPU stats. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines

  I’ve found stats [1] to be a great open source alternative to the iStat Menus system monitor app mentioned in the article. [1] https://github.com/exelban/stats. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• A standalone Activity Monitor alternative that isn't on the menu bar and shows stats for individual apps and groups processes by app?

  Have not used it for quite some time, and I think it was launching the Mac system monitor , it does don't have its own widow , but you can check this https://github.com/exelban/stats. Source: 11 months ago

• iOS 16.5.1 and macOS 13.4.1 Address Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities, Make Sure to Update

  Install stats and put it in your menu bar. It will show the top processes. If my battery is going down quicker than usual I check there and it is usually some hungry tab in Firefox. But I've also noticed bluetoothd using way more CPU than I would expect. Source: 12 months ago

• Any better-looking alternatives for iStats menu?

  Don't know about 'better looking', but I use https://github.com/exelban/stats. Source: 12 months ago
