My Mac has a 500GB hard disk. Last night I tried upgrading to 26.1RC and it ran out of space. Using DaisyDisk I was surprised to find that all the Arduino boards and libraries I've installed over the years have now come to almost 30GB.
In recent times my focus has shifted to Raspberry Pi PICO development either in MicroPython or their native C SDK via Visual Studio Code. I can even single step debug using the debug probe so it's a big step up from Arduino.
I remember having computers with 20MB hard disks. Amazing to be running low with 500GB now.
My first HDD was 40MB, the thought of a gigabyte back then seemed like science fiction. Seagate recently launched their 30TB HAMR based HDDs, it's utterly mind boggling how much capacity is available now.
