The Mac command line is a powerful tool. Did you know that you can:
1. download the contents of a web page
2. strip the relevant content out of the HTML
3. have your Mac speak the results out loud?

With that, you can automate things like speaking the weather or breaking news headlines. But why, when you can do this?
say $(curl -Ss "lyricsondemand.com/onehitwon…" -o - | grep -A 10 'lcontent' | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>/\n/g')

Having worked in internal IT myself, I heartily endorse @nable IT for IT Dept of the Year - the best I’ve worked with.
What an honor to attend the 20th Annual American Business Awards to celebrate 4 #StevieAward wins for N-able: IT Department of the Year, HR Executive of the Year, Customer Service Team of the Year for Partner Success, and Achievement in Product Innovation! #njoythejourney
I’ll need to add Clarus into my Managing Macs bootcamp reference materials. These are the important updates.
Absent these many years, the return of Apple's print mascot Clarus the Dogcow to macOS Ventura will teach a whole new generation to say "Moof!"

You've got all these shiny new apps and security updates. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to them. Yep, a real shame.
Learn how to keep on top of patches and stay up to date with @Nable RMM. Two sessions tomorrow, June 16: pages.n-able.com/boot-camp-r…
