Sending a letter with just ".DS_Store" in the middle of the sheet to:

Apple Inc.
1 Apple Park Way
Cupertino, CA 95014
United States

That wasn’t a joke, by the way.

@foo

I consider myself pretty darn nerdy... but this level of nerdiness is beyond me. Please explain.

@Blort @foo isn’t that when you format a USB drive on macOS it’s “empty” but it still has that hidden file inside? (Trying to understand it as well 😅)

@lontrachen @foo

...

uh...

...maybe? 🤷

@Blort @lontrachen @foo .DS_Store 's where Finder stores information for each directory (like display preferences, or how the individual files've been arranged). So whenever ya view a directory in Finder, it's gonna create that file.
@tanith @Blort @lontrachen @foo I don't even want to think about the multiuser issues with this design.
