I use them from my linux workstation as a poor man's access to apple's universal clipboard.

echo -n something | ssh my-mac pbcopy

then I can paste on my phone.

Disclaimer: I wrote it

sadly, this looks like it doesn't work on iOS, which is my major driver to use pbcopy/pbpaste.

This is... actually genius. I wonder if that would work with media too, specifying the input type or something, going to test that.

Looks easy. Yet you need to write the JPG to a temp file first since applescript does not seem to be able to parse JPEG without seek(), hence no piping / streaming possible.
