Animated GIF uses over 35GB RAM in Acorn on M1 Mac, likely due to memory leak

It’s 16G and I just retired my 2012 MacBook Pro because I really wanted to try the M1.

It was still going strong after almost a decade of use and got €300 as a trade-in. If that’s Apple‘s idea of planned obsolescence, I support their plan.

Same here. The home iMac Core Duo from early 2008 was finally decommissioned last year, after 12 years (had an SSD change only). Up until that moment it had been the "go to" computer in the home and 24/7 running a Plex server, Sonarr and Transmission.

My 2012 MBA is used daily and heavily by my mother and graphic designer sister. My 2015 MBA replaced that iMac and now I'm trying to find an excuse to replace my current 2019 MBA because M1s are reaaally attractive. Essentially I've convinced myself Apple is anouncing laptops later in the year that look like the newest iMacs, just so I wait.

Surely you can't have that right - no one is allowed to be happy with an Apple product! Lurk moar /s
