gollark: ```lualocal wireless_modems = {peripheral.find("modem", function(_, o) return o.isWireless() end)}```
gollark: You can also pass it a second argument to do filtering.
gollark: For example,```lua-- write "hi" on a monitorlocal mon = peripheral.find "monitor"mon.write "hi"```or```lua-- write "hello" in blue on all monitorslocal mons = {peripheral.find "monitor"}for _, m in pairs(mons) do m.setTextColor(colors.blue) m.write "hello"end```
