# Description: Restore cache files from hex generated by Chrome (chrome://cache)
# Requires: macOS
#
# Usage:
#     Visit chrome://cache in your Chrome browser
#
#     Find the file you want to restore, it will be in hex format
#
#     Copy all hex values (stuff that starts with "00000000:") to the end
#
#     Run this command in the terminal (you can, and should, run this manually)
#
# Notes:
#    Use "xclip -o" in Linux to paste the clipboard
#
#    Use "/dev/clipboard" in Cygwin for Windows to paste the clipboard
#
#    Read "% man xxd" to understand what's really happening
