Removal of McAfee from OSX

Note: This was written in 2015, it may be out of date now.

There are a lot of commands here which I use sudo if you don't know what you're doing with sudo, especially where I rm you can severely screw up your system.

There are many reasons which you would want to remove a piece of software such as McAfee, such as not wanting it to hammer your CPU during work hours which seems like primetime for a virus scan.

I intend this to be a living document, I have included suggestions from peoples' replies.

Note: I'm not sure how well this works / doesn't work in Windows, I have little experience messing with it. If you are not very familiar with Linux, . refers to the current path, you could also specify a path like ~/Videos for your Videos path in your home directory.

ISO to MKV

makemkvcon mkv iso:./movie.iso all .

Unbricking a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH

TFTP recovery in OSX 10.13

Similar steps can be used under Linux, I have no idea how to Windows anymore. This will probably work for similar Buffalo WZR routers, though your milage may vary. These directions flash the router back to stock Buffalo branded DDWRT.

When these routers brick they tend to go into a kind of reboot mode. At the begining of the reboot, the TFTP server is available for a brief period of time, then all of the lights flash and the unit reboots. We're exploiting the short period of time where the router is in TFTP mode at the start of the reboot. You can try to do a put via TFTP at the begining of this cycle, even if your router has been plugged in for awhile.

Error: No Partition Map Entry Error

Fixing Drives with Borked Apple Partitions

This question shows up several times in google and th answers never seemed to work properly for my purposes.

Sometimes with USB drives you get an Error: Partition map has no partition map entry! error message, there is a partition shown as Apple which can't be deleted.

One problem caused by these garbage partitions is if you attempt to create a new Linux bootable USB, dd will say it successfully copied the iso to the USB, but it doesn't actually work. The USB may even boot a bit and then hang during installation or even before it fully boots up.
