Automatically update all the installed python packages

There are two different ways that I would have done this. With the command posted or if you prefer xargs: pip freeze --local | awk -F "=" '{$1}' | xargs pip install -U # But this is a moot point considering the above replaces xargs

Tries to switch all audio devices to the A2DP profile for optimal sound quality. Useful for bluetooth speakers and headphones that always power up in HSP/HFP mode. Note however that this command is only a shorthand for the GUI, so it cannot fix stubborn BT controllers that leave your device stuck in HSP mode until a manual re-coupling.

Detect illegal access to kernel space, potentially useful for Meltdown detection

Based on capsule8 agent examples, not rigorously tested

Encode/Decode text to/from Base64 on a Mac w/out Mac Ports

I have a mac, and do not want to install mac ports to get the base64 binary. Using openssl will do the trick just fine. Note, to decode base64, specify a '-d' after 'base64' in the command. Note also the files base64.decoded.txt and base64.encoded.txt are text files.
