Make my MacBook Pro camera functional again
Raw
MakeMyMacBookProCameraFunctionalAgain.sh
#!/bin/sh
### Why?
# Because it's apparently too much to ask that my $3K laptop be able to

# this is a low priority in comparison to the Touch Bar. You can live without a
# camera, but you can't live without emoji.
