## Custom sound effects
1. Move e.g. `Honk.aiff` to `/Library/Audio/Sounds/Alerts/`.
2. Open _System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects_.
3. Select "Honk".
## Misc / other
- [Resetting the SMC](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295) can apparently help if e.g. the GPU is being screwy.
### How to print double-sided / duplex
1. In the print dialog, click _Show Details_, then _Paper Handling_.
2. Set the _Pages to Print_ to _Odds Only_.
3. Print.
4. Take the paper direct from the out-tray to the in-tray.
