How do you setup a new Mac?
I maintain a Brewfile (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle) which contains the majority of the non-project specific applications that I like to install on any new Mac:
https://github.com/jonahgeorge/dotfiles/tree/main
What's really nice is the `cask` & `mas` keywords allow you to install .dmg files & directly from the App Store.

While its not included in there yet, I've been experimenting with maintaining a private Homebrew tap which contains my ~/bin directory as opposed to shell aliases.

Pkgx – “Run Anything” from the creator of brew
> It's strange that people are so against declarative systems, or even file-based OS configuration. When I get my new Macbook I was up-and-running within a few minutes. I can't imagine maintaining a list of brews I need to re-install just to set up everything + my configs + everything else.
I haven’t had time to try Nix yet, but HomeBrew does have a declarative-ish workflow that I’ve been using for years:
[Brew Bundle](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle) let’s you have a plaintext file listing all packages you want installed on your system. Add a line for stuff you want installed, delete a line for stuff you want removed, invoke it the right way and it will install/remove packages until your system matches the list. The initial list can be generated by “brew bundle dump” or something like that.
For configuration, I find that a normal dotfile repo cloned into my ~/.config (with a script that maintains symlinks to config files in e.g. ~/Library) works well enough for my use.

Ask HN: What are your favorite iOS/macOS automations?
Brew supports dumping installed things into a brewfile: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle
I was using text files before as well to manage it.

Show HN: Applite – Clean Homebrew front end app for macOS built with SwiftUI
Assuming everyone's on a Mac, I'm actually surprised there isn't that much use of something like homebrew-bundle[1]. It's definitely nicer to have your tooling run natively rather than, say, trying to wrap everything in Docker, or trying to get everybody on board with nix or guix.
I think the only real issue here is that you can't really pin to specific versions unless a formula exists, and there is no guarantee that a formula with a pinned version will stick around because homebrew likes to stay lean.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
You should checkout Homebrew bundle and create a Brewfile instead. That will let you install both stuff from brew, casks and Mac AppStore apps in one go.

macOS users: you can now install Active Trader Pro with Homebrew!
If you use brew bundle and create your own Brewfile, you can store this with your personal dot files and automate bootstrapping (auto-installing all your system tools) a new or recently reformatted Mac by including auto-trader-pro in your Brewfile.

APK file transfer tool for MacOS to Beam
For those on MacOS, you can use a free tool called OpenMTP to do any type of file transfer from your MacOS to Xreal Beam. Supports multiple transfer of APK files. Feel free to give this a try if you prefer downloading all your APK packages to your Mac and transferring them in one go to your Beam. Have fun!

Android File Transfer works on my old MacBook Pro 2019, but not my newer M2 mac
TL;DR - Uninstall Android File Transfer (software hasn't seen an update since 2018), and switch to OpenMTP.

What are some things that iphones do that androids can't?
That said, Google's "Android File Transfer" app is not the only app which supports MTP on MacOS. People say good things about OpenMTP but I don't have personal experience with it: https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com/

How to transfer files from a Samsung S10 to the Fairphone?
For media, you will need to transfer stuff on an intermediate device via mtp. For Mac you have open mtp https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com. Linux should support this natively. No idea for Windows.
