I tend to download many files, most of which are all placed into their own folder within my downloads directory. Instead of going into each folder to uncompress the contents, I wanted to run a single command to achieve this in a timely manner. Using the simple find command below, you can uncompress multiple folders sequentially, one after another. find downloads/ -name '*.rar' -execdir unrar e {} \; Of course, you will need to change the directory, and if you want to use this on zip, tar, etc, you will need to adjust the unrar e aspect to fit the proper command for the file type. ...

While I would like to say I have been a " longtime" Apple Watch user, it has only been a few years… well, since the Series 3, which was my first dive into the world of Apple Watches. I was never much for watches, and the last thing I wanted was another accessory I had to put on in the morning, charge, care for, etc. Still, I figured back then why not, as the analytics alone were interesting to me, enough so that eating the cost of the watch seemed worth it to me. ...
