  "dotnet ef script" or "Script-Migration" producing empty .sql files?

  Another day, another issue. This time, I was absent-mindedly following the guidance for a project on how to generate .sql files for .NET EF Core code-first migrations. Don't ask why that was required, but it was. My migration was simple. Adding an entity with just a few properties. And Entity Framework created my programmatic migration just fine.

  How to download audio files from Vidyard

  Today, I'm documenting a simple way to download audio files from Vidyard. This approach only works for files that aren't password-protected or behind authentication - I don't think you can use it easily for nefarious stuff, but just in case you're trying to commit some kind of IP theft (intellectual property), please don't. And definitely do not ask for instructions in the comments section :) Anyway - why did I take up this task? What did I want to achieve, in order to need... This?
