  • Switch all connected PulseAudio bluetooth devices to A2DP profile

    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.

  • Disable bluetooth on your laptop to save battery

    Turns off the bluetooth hardware module. To turn it back on use `rfkill unblock bluetooth`. Works in Ubuntu, probably in other distros as well. I don't know if you need some special user permission to do this. It worked for me out of the box.

Randomly run command
Randomly decide whether to run a command, or fail. It's useful for testing purposes. . Usage: ran PERCENTAGE COMMAND [ARGS] Note: In this version the percentage is required. . This is like @sesom42 and @snipertyler's commands but in a USABLE form. . e.g. In your complicated shell script, put "ran 99" before a crucial component. Now, it will fail 1% of the time allowing you to test the failure code-path. $ ran 99 my_complex_program arg1 arg2

Both view and pipe the file without saving to disk
This is a cool trick to view the contents of the file on /dev/pts/0 (or whatever terminal you're using), and also send the contents of that file to another program by way of an unnamed pipe. All the while, you've not bothered saving any extra data to disk, like you might be tempted to do with sed or grep to filter output.

Print a horizontal line
Replace the underscore with any other character. e.g. + or - or =

vim read stdin

netstat with group by ip adress
