> You're making the same mistake if you think that's "incorrect information" No, that would be a different type of mistake. > you'd only take some effort to learn instead of complaining because they don't fit your incorrect assumptions I know exactly why it reports it like this. That wasn't the point of the article, and not the point of my reply. > You're saying to just not show any size at all if the filesystem contains more data than its capacity, which is basically going to be 100% of the time after enough backups are made? WTF. That makes even less sense. No, not 100% of the time. But it would be a significant portion of time, yes. The Finder should probably not even try to report the information like this if it's going to be misleading such a high percentage of the time, if Apple is not going to add a better way for users to account for where all of the space on their drives is going. > I'm not one to trust AI much at all, but I bet even an LLM these days would know and tell you why the total size of all the files on a filesystem can appear to exceed the capacity of the storage device. I tried to find a way to interpret this other than, "you should just use ChatGPT as a person to talk to, because ChatGPT is smarter than you and could explain to you how filesystems work," but I wasn't able to.
