Planks were used in older roofs which makes me think the decking is pretty old and probably should’ve been replaced with plywood.

What’s locked behind Platinum? I thought it was just cosmetics. Is there any actually gameplay/QOL stuff that it gets you?

That roof sheathing looks a little rough…

Not great timing with UPS about to go on strike. I personally nearly always order online and then set to pick up in store since UPS is an absolute shitshow in my area.

The OS doesn’t create the files, the application does. The OS would need a way to track what’s being created throughout the lifecycle of the application on the device. For example, at install the app may just put the .app bundle in /Applications and then complete. During first startup, licensing, saving, customization, and at other various indeterminate points the application might create preference files, directories/files in /Library/Application Support, etc. macOS does log things but those get rotated, if you just keep infinite logs you end up using up a ton of space.

Apple could try and require that every Application provide a manifest of where it may put all files, but I don’t really now how they’d enforce it and this is still subject to error and may result in the wrong thing being deleted. Also, keep in mind there are some shared folders and file between apps within the same suite. For example, Autodesk puts a lot of things from various apps into /Application Support/Autodesk.

Another thought is, sometimes you don’t want it to delete all associated files created. Often applications create a save directory in /Documents. I think SPSS or Stata might do this (haven’t work with them for a bit). So if /Documents/Stata has all your work and some automated Apple uninstaller removes it, that isn’t ideal. There’s just a lot that can go wrong if you automate this process for what is often relatively little gain.

Suspicious Package: A great utility for inspecting the payload of a package, including scripts.

Macs Fan Control: Both a heat temp monitor and fan control. Especially useful on older Intel Macs.

Amphetaine: Good GUI for caffeinate.

coconutbattery: Monitor your battery health, cycles, etc.

The problem is AppCleaner is effectively guessing based on file name (and potentially other metadata) what to get rid of, you have to use your brain to check the list of what it is proposing to delete (hence why they show it to you and make you check the additional boxes). Someone who is actively seeking out the app to do something like this is more likely to check, but if it was a default functionality from Apple, many users would just ignore it and delete everything, even if it’s something they’d want to keep. Apple’s ethos of how they view users is also not predisposed to this.
