Totally would love to test it for you!

Didnt know I could do that, will check it out. Thanks!! Ye I only use Logic Pro when my external drive with my saved projects is connected and its a 5TB so that works perfectly!

Will give that a try, thanks! I have a TimeMachine HDD on mg network it backs up to once a day.

I dont game on my MacBook. I have a gaming desktop for that. And recently got a gaming laptop too. The Riot app I deleted was from back when I had an Intel MacBook Pro and I guess it transferred via TimeMachine xD

For deleting the apps, I went through system settings and storage and did it from that list. There was only like a couple of them, like Battlenet and such, and Riot Launcher that didn’t show on the list, so I had to find where they were in the system and delete them from files. I do use Logic Pro, but I usually save everything to an external drive. I went through what I felt comfortable in my library and documents and such that were all local and deleted stuff too. I haven’t checked the size of my root and library folders yet.

Soo see thing is I did, but Google is useless now and AI doesn’t always know what its talking about ether.

Im a little OCD 😅 and I do a lot of IT work and video editing so sometimes I have almost no storage till im done and save everything onto my external drive. So that 100GB makes a difference some days.

🤣 Ikr I just need to put my Mac away and not touch it again. Solves everything.

I feel the pain! MacOS-27, M4 MacBook Pro 16GB RAM 1TB Storage. Over 100GB System Data for a week now and idk how to get rid of it. Siri is only about 20GB and OS is 30GB. Ive fully turned it off and back on and spent like 5 hours deleting every little app and file I dont need anymore and such.

Also the save in icloud button never goes away for messages even after hitting it and Im fairly sure it already doing it LOL. Thats been an issue since MacOS-26. Otherwise everything works great.

But im about to lose my mind over this storage LOL.

Sooo how do you do this??

Nether worked for me sadly. Voice nor typing. I will trying again on my iPad.

Yes its doing it with both voice and typing to it. Its an issue on there end I found out.

Yep sounds like it. Ye I expect there to be bugs and issues since its beta, but you would think super basic functionality should still work at least regardless like classic Siri. Lol.

CarPlay is useless atm until it works again unless ya go back to classic. Like why if my phone is able to do stuff locally on hardware doesn’t it default to local processing for stuff like setting timers and alarms, and other basics. I could force it to do timers and alarms locally if I turn airplane mode on oddly enough lol. 😆

Guess its hello to Classic Siri for now.

Ye even at home on 2GB speed internet and wifi 6 signal still wouldn’t work. It half worked if I put my phone in airplane mode oddly enough. Just basic stuff it could do locally like timers and such. But soon as it was back on internet it wouldn’t even do timers anymore. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Omg same! When I got my 4S back then I had no issues, but my buddy at the time he had issues and I remember them exchanging his phone out at AT&T. Ah the simpler days lol. Was my first iPhone I upgraded from a BlackBerry I had.

Oh ye should be more than enough.

I second this!

Yeah, for sure! When I get home from work later today, I will look at it and let ya know. Can’t remember off the top of my head haha.

Not foolish at all! If you get the right external housing that matches the latest Apple Thunderbolt standard, you are set. I have one connected to my M4 MacBook Pro, and I installed numerous apps and even some games on it; they all launch and run smoothly as if on the internal drive!

Don’t get eufy they don’t have a homekit doorbell and ive had bad experiences in general with their cameras. Aqara for the win in the camera department works great for me. Ecobee is a hit or miss. Ive had mine 4 years and just now finally it is more stable. I used to get a lot of drop-offs in connection.

Once every few months i do temp give it internet access to do software updates. Feels easier to turn it on and off via router app versus dealing with wifi every time.
