πŸ’‘ TIP: On a Linux system using bash, you can compare text strings without worrying about upper or lowercase by using the ,, (lowercase) or ^^ (uppercase) parameter expansion modifiers e.g.

EDITION=CommUNITY

if [[ ${EDITION,,} = community ]]; then
echo "Community"
fi

${EDITION,,} converts the value to lowercase.

TIP: πŸ’‘Check the remaining battery level for your connected bluetooth device on a typical Linux system using the following command:

bluetoothctl info AA:BB:CC:DD:00:11 | awk '/Battery Percentage:/ {print $4}' | tr -d '()'

* Replace "AA:BB:CC:DD:00:11" with the MAC address of your bluetooth device

πŸ’‘ On a typical Linux system, you can find bluetooth devices that are paired, connected, and trusted using the following command line:

bluetoothctl devices [ Paired | Connected | Trusted ]

For example: List currently paired bluetooth devices:

$ bluetoothctl devices Paired

Device 00:42:XX:YY:ZZ:YY XXBK85
Device 00:FD:AA:XX:YY:X8 D-26
