By default, your Mac will still boot to macOS. To access Windows, you have to turn your Mac off and then turn it on while holding the Option (Alt) key. You will be asked from which drive you'd like to boot. Note that while in Windows, the Mac's Command key functions as the Windows key, while the Option key functions as the Alt key. On Windows based computers it is very easy to show the desktop quickly. Many of the Windows users use ‘Win + D' shortcut keys for viewing desktop. Otherwise, you can just move the cursor to the bottom right corner to hide all open programs and show the desktop. But on Mac, you won't find any such option to show desktop.

You've probably heard and used some of the date/time plugins for OBS on Windows, like Snaz. There's plenty of options for Windows.
However, if I wasn't wrong, there's currently no any OBS plugin for macOS that can help us to display some information like current time in our livestream.
Introducing OBSTimeBud, a plugin for Open Broadcaster Software on macOS to show the current time in your livestream.
Here is a rough demo video: https://youtu.be/UPDV8Qzzjh4
This program is based on an assignment I had last year for one of my Mac development course in Arizona State University. It was about making a tiny program that has both the current time display and a stopwatch functionality in a simple GUI. Similar to the idea what Snaz has, I started making the OBSTimeBud app that can save and update the current time into a TXT file. Then, user can make a new text into the livestream and make this text as the content of this TXT file, which is the current time, by reading this TXT file.

Multiple Finder Windows
- guides
By default Mac OS X behaves in a way such that only a single Finder window opens at a time. This guide will demonstrate how you can open more than one Finder window and alter how Finder behaves when you double click a folder.
Default Behavior
Let's say you have a Finder window open and you click on the Finder icon in the Dock. By default Mac OS X will show you the current Finder window, this happens even if it's hidden under other application windows ,it will be brought to the front. This behavior is drastically different when compared to Windows. Whenever you click on Windows Explorer, 'My Computer', or on a folder in Windows, a new window is opened.
Another default behavior is that Finder will open double-clicked folders in the current Finder window. Suppose you double-clicked on the Macintosh HD on your Desktop, you'd be shown a Finder Window similar to the following:
If you then double-clicked on the Applications folder the Finder window will be updated to show the contents of the Applications folder:
Double-clicking on the AppleScript folder would show you the contents of the folder:
Open Additional Finder Windows

Open Additional Finder Windows
- Make Finder the active application (note that Finder is the default application in Mac OS X)
- Click on File in the Finder Menu
- Cick on New Finder Window
You can save clicks by simultaneously pressing on the Command and N keys.
Alter the Finder Double Click Behavior
You can configure Finder to open a window when a folder is double clicked. Just note that this will eventually lead to numerous windows if the item you are attempting to reach is deeply nested. The change is made via the Finder Preferences:
- Make Finder the active application
- Click on Finder in the Menu Bar
- Click on Preferences
- Check 'Always open folders in a new window' (highlighted below)
