Proof 181.8MB is bigger than 16.3GB

@RaceProUK I think the download is compressed. Still, I find it hard to believe that <200MB can be uncompressed to over 16GB...
-
And yes, I need a new disk to store all my games.
-
@RaceProUK looks like it stops at "<1% disk free"? I've seen Dropbox and Google Drive stop in similar situations.

@RaceProUK I'd have said delete some of the ones you don't play anymore, but that works too.

it's actually this. Steam will refuse to fill up your drive to 100% it stops at 99% instead so you still have a little free space
-
@accalia But I know better than Steam! WHARRGARBL!
-
probably has to allocate space for extraction etc. Just uninstall the games you aren't playing.

Android would do a similar thing. One of my old phones had ~400MB built-in storage, and this was before copying apps to SD was commonplace. If it ever got below 10%, Google Play Service would popup a notification saying your space was low, and everything Google would stop working. Gmail wouldn't sync and apps would fail to update even if the app would fit into the free space you had, as long as that low storage notification was up.

The real problem was that there were apps that couldn't be copied to SD and some versions of Android leaked
diskstorage space with things like failed app installations (due to flaws in the updater service). You'd gradually run out of a critical limited resource and have nothing you could do to get it back.

The real problem was that there were apps that couldn't be uninstalled because they were burned into the ROM regardless of whether you wanted them or not.
FTFY, because FUCK shovelware. Fuck it straight in its starhole.

Still are. Most of them actually.

My phone came with ^$&$&^$% facebook that way. But at least it's modern android where you can force-disable a ROM app to the point where it's not in the menu and doesn't update. Apparently in previous androids such an app would be in your app list, and there would be at least one updated copy of the app in ram in addition to the one in the readonly partition.

Old phones? My still new phone does this still!

@Tsaukpaetra I bought my still new PC in 2014. I think you two need to be more precise to have any mraningful convetsation.

Also. 6 terabytes. Fucking bourgeois.
