Slithering Waters Mac OS

Posted on 5/6/2021 by admin

Overview

My son spilled water on the original 2008 keyboard that came with my iMac. The old keyboard had accumulated some dirt and dust, so it didn't look to sexy and the keys were a bit too soft to the touch. The spill sped up replacing the keyboard (I will replace the iMac soon, but not that soon), and, considering the number of satisfied orders. If you want, you can also build IPFS from source. If you are on Mac OS X or Linux take a look at the readme for install instructions. If you are on Windows take a look at this document for instructions. Ipfs upgrades (and downgrades) may involve a repository upgrade process performed by the fs-repo-migrations tool.

Every computer's network interface has a unique identifer called a MAC address. It is a 12 digit hexadecimal number usually delimted by colons, e.g. ab:01:23:ef:45:dc. Both wired and wireless network interfaces have these addresses.

Finding the Ethernet MAC Address

Microsoft Windows

For PCs running Windows 7 and earlier, Go to Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > DOS Command Prompt. Type cmd. For PCs running Windows 8 and later, launch the 'Command' program by searching for it in your applications list. When the command window appears, type ipconfig /all. The Physical Address value for your ethernet card is your MAC address. Make sure you're looking at your ethernet interface and not your wireless interface.

Apple MacOS X

From the Desktop

Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Network (under 'Internet and Wireless').
Make sure that the ethernet interfaces is selected on the left side.
Click on the Advanced button on the right, and then the Hardware tab. The MAC address is listed there.
