asitop VS mackup

There’s also asitop https://github.com/tlkh/asitop

Don't do this on my behalf but if you're ever curious yourself, on some other date, you can use iStat Menu among other utilities or readers to check GPU utilization, thats a lot easier to read than Activity Monitor. If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and average it by eye. I'm on a 4K display and it seems to be averaging about 10% GPU utilization.

Generally, chips start to throttle around 90 degrees. If you want to know exactly temp, use asitop.

oh dear, my bad, look into ASITOP , i am apparently very confused today for some reason, as i tried to install that apple-silicon-only tool on an intel imac this morning before being basically called an idiot by said terminal 😂

I don't have RE:village installed, but if you have game installed you can check it using ASITOP

I'll take a deeper look once https://github.com/tlkh/asitop/pull/44 has been merged.

I used ASITOP to measure power consumption. but it only supports Apple silicon Mac.

Asitop.

Also checkout Mackup.

I am using mackup to sync application preferences between devices over Dropbox. Now if any application with synced preferences is started I will get a question if given application is allowed to access Dropbox files (because it tries to access its preferences). Examples below.

Hello there! I use https://github.com/lra/mackup Not sure if its the BEST but it works well for me. * What does it do - Back ups your application settings in a safe directory (e.g. Dropbox) - Syncs your application settings among all your workstations - Restores your configuration on any fresh install in one command line

Yeah, I went through a similar process when I finally upgraded my MBP after 8 years on a 2013 MBP. In light of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, I decided to do some spring cleaning with a fresh install. I ended up curating my own setup/bootstrap scripts as well as using mackup to backup and sync my dotfiles and app configs.

I use Mackup which syncs a many app settings including Raycast to your choice of location.

I moved away from using a dotfiles repo a few years ago because I kept forgetting to add/commit files as I changed them.

Instead I use mackup[0] which automatically manages symlinks to your Dropbox/Drive/Share and has support for a huge amount of software by default. You can also manually add “extra” files you wish to track if you like.

Brew bundle will install fresh copies of your package list. If you have any configuration files that you want to reuse, you’d have to transfer those separately. This might help https://github.com/lra/mackup
