Regain control over the annoying GlobalProtect macOS install

I need to use GlobalProtect because it's becoming the only VPN to access resources in my school. The VPN client is simple enough, but it does two annoying things:

1. Registers itself to autostart on login
2. Doesn't provide you with a simple 'quit' action

Here I'll show you how I fixed both issues in macOS 12.2 (Monterey).

If you're using a high-end bluetooth headset on your Macbook Pro it's likely your mac is using an audio codec which favors battery efficiency over high quality. This results in a drastic degradation of sound, the SBC codec is the likely culprit, read more about it here.

Find out what codec you're using

1. Play a song on your headphones
2. Option (⌥) click the Bluetooth button at the top of your screen
3. If you're using AAC or aptX, you can stop here—those are the highest quality codecs.

Change your codec to AAC or aptX

## Fix OneDrive for Mac CPU usage
## 
## Seems this is still a problem 5 years later after I created this little gist.
## I have long since stopped using OneDrive (luckily), but according to
## comments below, I have added the new path for OfficeFileCache for macOS
## Mojave (10.14) and Catalina (10.15).

## Run this on macOS Mojave (10.14) and Catalina (10.15)
find ~/Library/Containers/ -type d -name OfficeFileCache -exec rm -r {} +

// === Arrays

var [a, b] = [1, 2];
console.log(a, b);
//=> 1 2


// Use from functions, only select from pattern
var foo = () => [1, 2, 3];
