`apt list` output question

Re: RTL problem

Hi Maureen there was a flap a few years back about exploding capacitors on motherboards. But that can also be caused by power surges or misbehaving AC sources. You have a UPS so it filters the line power at least a bit, maybe hopefully. GDay On Sun, Mar 28, 2021, 4:46 PM Maureen L Thomas wrote:

How to save filtered less results in a file or on stdout

Hi, Strictly speaking, my question is not on Debian itself, but on usage of less command running on my Buster (487-0.1+b1). Is there a way to save *filtered* less results in a file or on stdout please? What I mean by "filtered" is results obtained via "&" or "&!" command inside less. Indeed,
