Today I wanted to move existing APFS-resident macOS Catalina installation to a new disk. I upgraded my late 2014 Mac Mini with a shiny new 1TB SSD. This took way too many hours of my life I will never get back. Hope this saves some time to you.

Good news:

1. it is possible to create a DMG image from existing APFS container with macOS Catalina installation including metadata needed for complete restore (the DMG contains OS, OS Data, Preboot, Recovery and VM volumes)
2. it is possible to restore this DMG image into empty APFS container and get a bootable copy of the original system

This information is relevant for Catalina (I'm currently running macOS 10.15.1).

Google is extremely transparent about the Location History it has on you. You can check it out on the timeline feature in the Google Maps application on the phone, or on https://www.google.com/maps/timeline It is possible that you have that turned off, and in that case, consider yourself lucky.

If there is data there, you can view it online, or Download and Analyze it yourself.

• To extract that data, you can go to takeout.google.com and request for the Location History data from there.
• This gets generated as a JSON file which you should download.
• You can then convert that JSON file to a CSV, by using https://gist.github.com/devdattaT/c9dcae2107622215ff2e798dd185087e
• Finally load that data in https://kepler.gl/#/demo to view locations on a Map
