Just installed my 16GB of memory; I was running on the 4GB 2012 mac mini default and it was annoying.
I just keep the puters running and updating; every now and again they take down the innnernet with some massive “upgrade” but if I don’t do that MacOS takes hours to repeatedly try to reinstall, Xcode is about a 4 hour download (no telephone while it is happening) and so on.
The other problem I see is that the Loop download really is a download; it isn’t obvious how to load the github project into Xcode and just refresh it every week.
