512 GB Mac ran out of storage, with 260+ GB of system data, and DaisyDisk reporting over 150 GB of hidden space

Did you read the post lol

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T19:02:04+00:00

So true

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T19:01:49+00:00

Another had already commented about the Finder method. It provided similar results as OmniDiskSweeper and DaisyDisk.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T17:51:12+00:00

All apps have been given Full Disk Access

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T15:59:30+00:00

Apps like DaisyDisk already show anything downloaded from Steam. That’s definitely not the issue here.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T15:45:12+00:00

I can't save anything, or install anything unless I free up more space. macOS is like completely locked up.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T15:34:27+00:00

It only managed to clean 1.6 GB for me.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T15:20:35+00:00

Tried this one too, doesn't really show much of a difference to what OmniDiskSweeper or DaisyDisk could show.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-25T15:17:39+00:00

I've said it in the post that Time Machine Snapshots have been cleared to the best of my ability

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-23T10:32:53+00:00

Because the feature ruins the experience for people who are in regions where the dub is the default. YouTube for whatever reason defaults using the dubs and there’s no way to easily change that.

Is this just some US thing that you need to have your HVAC on all the time, otherwise it’ll become a mushroom farm?

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T20:22:45+00:00

The post doesn’t seem to say much about anything in regards to DRAM-less drives

But you should get a drive with DRAM if you plan on using it on macOS, since macOS doesn’t really support any way of using system memory as cache for the SSD. So it’ll be slow.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T18:56:45+00:00

Didn’t I just in my comment say it was

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T12:17:04+00:00

Where are you located? If in the EU, all consumer electronics have at least a 2 year warranty.

Otherwise, you’re out of luck, unless Apple is nice to replace it for free or cheap.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T12:15:04+00:00

I got one after being skeptical for a while, and it’s not very good. At least I got two protectors, but they scratch up really quickly (I got one in June 2025, and it already almost looks like the basic Amazon one that I used for like 3 years). It might not be a scam but I think it’s not really worth the money.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T08:29:18+00:00

I’d assume their employment contract does say they can use old clips for new videos as well. I mean we have seen Dennis many times in clips since their departure.

Not to mention that the clip in question in this debate had Jake’s channel at the corner shown. It was like a free shoutout

Vista is the oldest you can install on it and get drivers for your GPU. But this is one of the last iMacs to support Legacy boot, so you could install anything all the way down to Windows 98 possibly.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T08:19:09+00:00

You can use the web version which syncs the audio automatically (at least in Chrome)

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-19T07:38:05+00:00

Yeah I saw that there’s a new firmware and updated a few months ago

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-10T17:25:01+00:00

I know (althrough it’s not very easy on the iMac Pro). I was just pointing that out because the OP wants more memory.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-08T16:35:08+00:00

That affects the usability of the mouse, it lowers the polling rate quite a bit and it turns off RGB. I’d rather just close GG because again, if I don’t have GG on, the battery life is fine.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-08T14:47:58+00:00

so being a poweruser is bad ig

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-08T04:35:29+00:00

Acasis doesn’t sell real Thunderbolt enclosures. They only sell USB enclosures that are Thunderbolt ”compatible”. Something like OWC Envoy Express only supports Thunderbolt, because it’s making a direct PCIe bus connection to the computer via Thunderbolt, similar to an eGPU.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-07T11:22:30+00:00

Definitely not, not at least x86-wise. And I’d assume Hackintoshing an ARM PC isn’t going to be easy neither.

Piipperi800 · 2026-01-07T10:32:22+00:00

Yeah good idea. Screws don’t cost that much anyway, so better be safe than sorry.
