    I think the problem isn't the AI, it's the ridiculously small SSDs you can get on Apple products that make one quibble about 12GB in 2026.

      It's so hard to manage storage space on mac as well. Every app leaves massive amounts of crap in deep system directories that are hard to find and persist after you delete the app. My 512gb mac is always running out of space so I have to use 3rd party tools to find where all the space went since macos just lumps it in "Applications" or "Documents" with no real way to see anything.
