If you are going to sell, give away, recycle or pass on your Mac to someone else, you want to make sure you sign out of all of your accounts and completely erase the drive on the Mac.
Link to video in case you don't see it above: <a href="https://vimeo.com/588895323" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/588895323</a> Here's another location in case that doesn't work: <a href="https://archive.org/download/the-super-secret-mac-keyboard-shortcuts-almost-no-one-knows-about-macmost-2511/2511KeyBindings.mp4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archive.org/download/the-super-secret-mac-keyboard-shortcuts-almost-no-one-knows-about-macmost-2511/2511KeyBindings.mp4</a> I'm very excited about this video I just finished for next week. It describes a way to create text entry keyboard shortcuts, "macros" and text insertions that I don't think many other people have ever even talked about. These are called Key Bindings and you can use them to do all sorts of interesting stuff. I thought I'd post it here early and we can discuss it. I'll attach the file I create for reference.

While private browser windows are a good privacy feature, they don't protect you from malware, account break-ins, or other security issues.
Since so many enjoyed how I built a custom green screen, here's how I made a custom mounting system for my camera and the lights. Very low budget, but not on purpose. They simply don't make anything like this. A tripod would take up too much space. I said a foot or so in the video, but the legs would have stuck out way more than that actually.

FileVault encrypts your drive in a way that is seamless to you, but would make it impossible for someone else to access the data on your drive without your password.
When you copy large files, or lots of files, with the Finder, you can cancel but not pause. However, if you use the Terminal you can pause in the middle of a large copy, move or anything. This works best using rsync so you can see the progress. Basically you use Control+Z to pause the Terminal command. Then you use fg to continue.

To protect your Mac from malware, follow these three simple rules.
The green screen I use isn't one from off-the-shelf. This is my own design using a green screen fabric, two 1x4 pieces of wood, and some chain and tacks. This is version 3 or 4 of the design. I think I showed an earlier design a year or two ago. This is the fabric I bought. I guess I remember it being cheaper in the video. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EKAJ1M" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EKAJ1M</a>
