How can I get the tar command to show me the hidden resource fork files in an archive? Is it possible? If so, how? If it matters, I am using macOS Sonoma 14.7.2. As a test, I created the following folder: ``` $ tree tmp tmp └── myfile.txt ``` I then created an archive by doing: ``` $ tar -czvf tmp.tar.gz tmp 07:59:02 a tmp a tmp/myfile.txt ``` I ran the following python code: ``` import tarfile tar_file = tarfile.open( "tmp.tar.gz" ) for member in tar_file.getmembers(): print( member ) ``` and it output: ``` <TarInfo '._tmp' at 0x11b938b80> <TarInfo 'tmp' at 0x11b939000> <TarInfo 'tmp/._myfile.txt' at 0x11b938c40> <TarInfo... 2 0 replies

Disappointed by new M3 Air 13”/16/512 performance. Lags while multitasking. Help! :| Hi nice people of this sub, I’ve been nerdy about tech for maybe 15 years, and have gone the whole arc from android/pc-gamer teen (who *wants* save money) to Apple ecosystem adult [new iPhone16pro, MBA, and a 2yo iPad Air] Not gonna lie, it’s insane to own any of it and pretty damn fun!

File Sharing on MacOS - "connect as" confusion Hi I've got a question with regards to file sharing on mac. I just upgraded my personal device to a M4 Pro MBP running 15.3 Sequioa.

MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 - iMac Magic Keyboard issue I recently updated to MacOS 15.3.1 and now am experiencing keyboard issues on my iMac \[M1\] Magic keyboard. When I try and use the shift key in conjunction with any of the numeric keys on the Bluetooth iMac Magic keyboard the corresponding symbol does not get produced. Instead the shift-number key combination seems to act more like a keyboard shortcut. For instance Shift-7 does not produce an ampersand, it instead brings me to the Systems Settings window. Very strange. Anyone else seeing similar behavior with their keyboards? 1 0 replies

In Sequoia, how do I keep more than one window open at a time? Dunno if it's just me, but I couldn't find the solution to this with Google. I updated to Sequoia. After the update, multiple windows doesn't seem to be a thing. If an application is not in focus, its window minimizes. This feature is absolutely useless to me and it makes my workflows impossible. How do I turn this feature off? 2 1 replies
