Input for upcoming version

Open forthrin opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Here's some input for the upcoming new version.

  • Main/Hardware/Ports: Stuff a buyer would want to know about the system. (Or a vain techie would want to boast.) Can basically be copy-pasted into classifieds. See also "About This Mac".
  • Battery: Expected battery time starting at 100%. This is vital as it's the only part of the machine that deteriorates with time and therefore affects the value of the system.
  • Space: Total free gigabytes of all connected disks. Trash: Total gigabytes in all trash folders.
  • Speed: Should be checked once per external IP (using speedtest) and cached in a text file.
  • Security: Should include all vital settings that affect system security.

Look into how this can be compacted / neatly formatted into columns to save space.

Tip: External IP can be efficiently checked with dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com.
