Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

As another user noted, the Balena Etcher method works great on a Mac. On my 2021 MacBook Pro (with M1 Pro chip), I created a bootable OS X Snow Leopard USB drive using a .DMG of Snow Leopard I downloaded on the internet. And then installed Snow Leopard on a 2009 MacBook Pro without a hiccup.

How to Delete Microsoft AutoUpdate from Mac

In earlier versions of Mac OS X, there were two separate options for smart quotes and smart dashes in the Keyboard System Preferences; however in at least versions 10.9 through 10.11, that option has been replaced by a single "Use smart quotes and dashes" preference.

Fortunately, there are still two separate preferences under the hood, and the UI checkbox toggles both of them simultaneously. You can enable or disable just one of smart quotes or smart dashes from the terminal:

# Disable just smart dashes
defaults write -g NSAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled 0

# Disable just smart quotes
defaults write -g NSAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled 0

# To re-enable, set either back to 1.

This is currently true as of OS X 10.11; this may change in future versions of OS X (or macOS, as it will now be called).

The PATH is an important concept when working on the command line. It's a list
of directories that tell your operating system where to look for programs, so
that you can just write script instead of /home/me/bin/script or
C:\Users\Me\bin\script. But different operating systems have different ways to
add a new directory to it:

Windows

1. The first step depends which version of Windows you're using:
   • If you're using Windows 8 or 10, press the Windows key, then search for and
     select "System (Control Panel)".
   • If you're using Windows 7, right click the "Computer" icon on the desktop
     and click "Properties".
2. Click "Advanced system settings".
3. Click "Environment Variables".
4. Under "System Variables", find the PATH variable, select it, and click
   "Edit". If there is no PATH variable, click "New".
5. Add your directory to the beginning of the variable value followed by ; (a
   semicolon). For example, if the value was C:\Windows\System32, change it to
   C:\Users\Me\bin;C:\Windows\System32.
6. Click "OK".
7. Restart your terminal.

Mac OS X

1. Open the .bash_profile file in your home directory (for example,
   /Users/your-user-name/.bash_profile) in a text editor.
2. Add export PATH="your-dir:$PATH" to the last line of the file, where
   your-dir is the directory you want to add.
3. Save the .bash_profile file.
4. Restart your terminal.

Linux

1. Open the .bashrc file in your home directory (for example,
   /home/your-user-name/.bashrc) in a text editor.
2. Add export PATH="your-dir:$PATH" to the last line of the file, where
   your-dir is the directory you want to add.
3. Save the .bashrc file.
4. Restart your terminal.

Via this reddit thread, pasting these commands into Terminal disables the bad Lanchpad behavior with game controllers:

defaults write com.apple.GameController bluetoothPrefsMenuLongPressAction -integer 0

defaults write com.apple.GameController bluetoothPrefsShareLongPressSystemGestureMode -integer -1

After entering those commands, log out of MacOS then log back in.
