mian Post your PSU model. The RTX 2000 series takes huge wattage and under-powered (not defective, just too weak) power supplies are a common problem. Nvidia recommends 650W but that's the bare minimum.RTX 2080

mian Is there not a VOD of this up anywhere? It looks like ABC's link is just useless commentary and google also returns a bunch of videos of talking heads.Is there not a VOD of this up anywhere?

brew cask
to easily install standard mac apps like browsers, terminals, editors, and all the other must-haves from the CLI. When I'm already using it on a previous machine, I runbrew cask list
on the old box to get an app list and just reinstall these to get up and running super fast.Here's a selection of important ones for my current setup:
$ brew cask list bartender # clean up the menu bar icons bitwarden # password manager chromium # less evil chrome firefox # primary browser font-fantasque-sans-mono # programming font font-inconsolata # terminal font iterm2 # terminal karabiner-elements # complicated keyboard remapping krita # excellent free image editor spectacle # keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around

mian Really hard to respond constructively to this without hearing why you didn't like the things you didn't like or what you're actually using these for--language, workflow, etc.Really hard to respond constructively to this without hearing why you didn't like the things you didn't like or what you're actually using these for--language, workflow, etc.
It looks like youtube-DLG is a GUI front-end to youtube-dl. The reason it's not working is probably because the underlying youtube-dl install hasn't been upgraded in a long time. It gets updates often--typically several times per week--to unbreak what youtube breaks on a regular basis.
As of this writing the current version of youtube-dl is two days old and it's working properly for me on several machines.
If you're uncomfortable using a command line program, try checking the last update date/time of the GUI app you're using and make sure it's recent. If it's not self-updating, uninstall and reinstall to see if it fixes you. All else failing, try switching to something else that updates frequently, or drop to pure youtube-dl which makes it easy to grab the latest.
