Understanding Memory Usage in the Apple 2022 Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) with 64GB StorageI. IntroductionThe Apple 2022 Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) represents a significant iteration in the realm of streaming media devices, offering enhanced processing power and advanced features designed to elevate the home entertainment experience. A crucial aspect of its functionality is the internal storage, which, in the Wi-Fi model under examination, amounts to 64GB.1 While primarily designed for streaming content, this storage capacity plays a vital role in the device's overall operation, influencing its ability to run applications, manage data, and maintain optimal performance. This report aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how the 64GB internal storage is utilized within this specific Apple TV model, delving into the operating system's storage management strategies, the types of data stored, caching mechanisms, user management capabilities, and the ultimate impact of this storage capacity on the device's functionality. The existence of both 64GB and 128GB models 1 suggests that storage capacity is a deliberate design consideration by Apple, likely catering to different user profiles and usage demands. The distinction between these models implies that the 64GB variant might present certain trade-offs or limitations compared to its higher-capacity counterpart, which will be explored throughout this analysis.II. tvOS and Core System StorageThe Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) operates on tvOS, Apple's dedicated operating system for its television platform.5 While a third-party retailer listing incorrectly identifies the operating system as "Apple iOS" 5, Apple's official documentation confirms the use of tvOS.6 A significant portion of the 64GB internal storage is inherently allocated to the tvOS itself, encompassing the foundational software and essential system files necessary for the device to initiate its processes, execute its functions, and manage its core operations.7 These fundamental files include the operating system kernel, core system libraries, and various pre-installed applications that provide baseline functionality. Furthermore, the process of updating tvOS also necessitates the temporary storage of update files on the internal memory before and during the installation procedure.7 This temporary storage requirement ensures a smooth and reliable update process. While the exact quantum of storage consumed by the base tvOS installation and its associated system files is not explicitly detailed within the provided research materials, it is an undeniable and necessary component of the device's overall storage utilization. User discussions have indicated that the storage consumed by the system can sometimes be substantial, leading to situations where the reported usable storage appears less than expected.10 This observation underscores the fact that the advertised 64GB capacity represents the total available NAND flash memory, and a portion of this will always be occupied by the pre-installed software infrastructure, thereby reducing the storage available for user-installed applications and personal data.III. Application and Game Storage ManagementBeyond the storage reserved for the core operating system, the primary allocation of the remaining internal memory in the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) is dedicated to the storage of applications and games downloaded from the Apple TV App Store.5 As highlighted by a retailer's specification page, the device offers "64GB of Storage Options for Apps and Games".19 The digital footprint of these applications and games can exhibit considerable variability, with certain games, particularly those available through Apple Arcade, potentially demanding several gigabytes of storage space.14 To optimize storage usage, tvOS incorporates a feature known as "Offload Unused Apps".13 This automated mechanism intelligently identifies and removes applications that have not been accessed recently, thereby freeing up valuable storage space while crucially preserving the associated user data.13 Should a user wish to utilize an offloaded application in the future, it can be readily redownloaded from the App Store, and the previously stored data will be restored, provided the app remains available.13 This feature provides an automated approach to managing storage, reducing the need for manual intervention. In addition to this automated offloading, users retain the ability to exercise direct control over their storage by manually deleting applications that are no longer required.9 This can be accomplished through the "Manage Storage" option accessible within the Settings menu. Deleting an application permanently removes both the application itself and all of its corresponding data 13, offering a more definitive method for reclaiming storage space.IV. Caching Mechanisms on Apple TVThe internal storage of the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) also serves as a repository for various types of cached content, which plays a role in enhancing the user experience.Streaming MediaThe device may employ caching to store segments of streamed movies, television shows, or music.9 This temporary storage can contribute to smoother playback and mitigate buffering issues, particularly in scenarios where internet connectivity might be intermittent.9 While some sources suggest that larger storage capacities could potentially accommodate more cached streaming content 15, the process is largely managed automatically by the system without direct user intervention.14 This lack of user control over streaming media caching has been a point of frustration for some users encountering storage limitations.10Temporary FilesApplications running on the Apple TV may also utilize the internal storage to store temporary files and data necessary for their operation.7 These files, which can include items like thumbnails, user preferences, and runtime data, are typically managed by the individual applications and the operating system itself. tvOS is designed to automatically remove these temporary files when storage space becomes constrained.7ScreensaversA notable consumer of storage space on the Apple TV is the collection of downloaded Aerial screensavers, particularly when viewed in high-resolution 4K.9 tvOS has the capability to automatically download new screensavers over time 12, which can progressively consume a significant portion of the available storage. Users are provided with some degree of control over this by being able to adjust the download frequency of these screensavers 9, allowing them to manage the potential storage impact to a certain extent. However, the inability to selectively delete individual screensavers limits the user's ability to precisely manage the storage they consume.12The automatic and often opaque nature of caching on the Apple TV can lead to situations where users find their storage being utilized in ways they do not fully understand.10 While designed to enhance performance and user experience, the limited transparency and control over these processes can be a source of difficulty when managing the finite storage capacity of the device. Furthermore, the concept of "purgeable" data within tvOS suggests an ability to reclaim storage used for temporary files when needed. However, user reports of substantial unexplained storage usage raise questions about the consistent effectiveness of this automatic purging mechanism.7V. User Data and Media Storage CapabilitiesThe Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) is primarily engineered as a streaming device, and consequently, its internal storage has limitations when it comes to storing personal media files such as downloaded movies, TV shows, or music.8 Discussions within Apple's support forums explicitly state that the device is not intended for saving movies for offline playback.8 While certain third-party applications, such as VLC, might offer a degree of functionality for sideloading and temporarily storing media files locally 16, this is not the device's primary function, and the operating system may automatically remove these files when storage space becomes scarce.16 User experiences have indicated that media stored in this manner can disappear without warning, highlighting the unreliability of using the Apple TV's internal storage for permanent media archiving.16 Users can access their iCloud Photos library through the dedicated Photos application on the Apple TV.9 However, this access typically involves streaming or caching recently viewed content rather than a full local storage of the entire photo library. The Apple TV functions as a display interface for cloud-based media rather than a storage solution for it. This design emphasizes the Apple TV's role as a central hub for accessing content from online services and connected devices, aligning with the broader ecosystem strategy that favors cloud-based storage and on-demand streaming over extensive local media storage on client devices. The ephemeral nature of local storage for user-added media, even through third-party applications, underscores the intended usage model of the Apple TV.VI. Storage Management Options for UsersUsers of the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) have several avenues available to manage the device's internal storage.Checking Storage UsageThe primary method for users to ascertain their storage consumption is by navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.9 This section presents a list of installed applications along with the amount of storage each one is utilizing. It is important to note, however, that the storage information presented here might not always provide a complete picture of the total used space, as system files and various forms of cached data might not be comprehensively accounted for within this view.7 For a more detailed analysis of storage allocation, users can turn to third-party applications available on the App Store, such as "TV Info" 7 and others like "Storage Analysis" or "Space Free" 29, which can offer a more granular breakdown of storage usage, potentially including system data and cached files.Deleting AppsTo reclaim storage space occupied by unwanted applications, users can manually delete them by navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage, selecting the specific application, and choosing the Delete option.13 This action will permanently remove the selected application and all associated data from the device.Offloading AppsA less drastic measure for managing storage is the option to offload unused applications. This can be found under Settings > Apps > Offload Unused Apps.13 When enabled, tvOS will automatically remove applications that have not been used recently but will retain their associated data. This allows users to easily reinstall the application at a later time and resume their previous activity.Managing Screensaver DownloadsUsers can control the storage impact of Aerial screensavers by adjusting their download frequency. This setting can be found under Settings > Screensaver > Aerials > Download Frequency.9 Setting this to "Never" will prevent the automatic download of new screensavers, thus conserving storage space.Restarting the Apple TVPerforming a restart of the Apple TV can sometimes be beneficial in clearing temporary cached files and addressing storage-related performance issues.22 This can typically be done through the Settings > System > Restart menu or simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.Resetting the Apple TVAs a last resort for reclaiming storage or resolving persistent storage-related problems, users can perform a factory reset of their Apple TV. This option is located under Settings > System > Reset.9 It is crucial to understand that this action will erase all data on the device and restore it to its original factory settings.The discrepancy often observed between the storage usage reported by the native tvOS tools and third-party applications highlights a potential limitation in Apple's built-in storage management interface.7 This lack of comprehensive and transparent reporting can impede users' ability to effectively manage their storage. While users have some degree of control over applications and screensavers, the limited options for directly managing system caches and other temporary files underscore the operating system's emphasis on automated management.22 This approach, while simplifying the user experience for many, might not always align with the needs of users who desire more granular control over their device's storage.VII. Storage Expansion PossibilitiesCurrently, there is no official method to expand the internal storage of the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation).35 Neither external hard drives nor memory cards are supported for this purpose. The USB-C port located on the Siri Remote is solely intended for charging the remote's battery.1 Similarly, the USB-C port on the Apple TV device itself does not support external storage devices.35 For users who require access to extensive libraries of media content, network-attached storage (NAS) devices or media server software solutions like Plex or Infuse offer a viable alternative.26 These solutions enable users to stream their media content to the Apple TV over their home network, effectively negating the need for large amounts of local storage on the Apple TV itself for media files. Apple's iCloud+ service provides cloud storage for photos and other types of data 37, but it does not function as an extension of the Apple TV's local storage for applications or system files. The absence of expandable storage reinforces the Apple TV's core design as a streaming-centric device. Users who anticipate needing more storage for a large number of applications or for potential local media caching (where supported by third-party apps) should consider opting for the 128GB model at the time of purchase.VIII. Impact of 64GB Storage on Performance and FunctionalityThe 64GB storage capacity of the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) can have implications for the device's performance and overall functionality in several key areas.App Installation LimitsThe available 64GB of storage will inherently impose a limit on the number of applications and, more significantly, large games that can be installed concurrently.5 Users who actively engage with a wide array of applications or who frequently download and play large games from services like Apple Arcade might encounter storage limitations more readily and may need to manage their installed applications more frequently, potentially uninstalling older or less-used apps to accommodate new ones.Caching and ResponsivenessThe capacity of the internal storage can influence the device's ability to cache frequently accessed content. While some argue that a larger storage capacity allows for more extensive caching, potentially leading to improved responsiveness, especially in situations with limited internet bandwidth 15, others contend that the primary driver of the Apple TV's responsiveness is its powerful A15 Bionic chip.6 If the available storage becomes critically low, it could potentially have a negative impact on buffering during streaming or the performance of applications 16 as the system might struggle to efficiently manage temporary files and cached data.Software UpdatesA device with a near-full storage capacity might encounter challenges when attempting to download and install tvOS software updates.9 The update process typically requires a certain amount of temporary storage space for the download and installation files. Insufficient free space could potentially prevent the update from proceeding, necessitating the user to free up storage by removing applications or other content.MultitaskingWhile the performance of multitasking is more directly correlated with the device's Random Access Memory (RAM) – which is reported to be 4GB for this model 38 – insufficient storage space could indirectly affect the system's ability to manage temporary data associated with running multiple applications in the background or rapidly switching between them. A lack of available storage might lead to more frequent reloading of applications, which could slightly impact the overall user experience.For users whose primary use case involves streaming content and utilizing a moderate number of commonly used applications, the 64GB storage capacity is likely to be adequate. However, individuals who identify as heavy gamers or those who maintain an extensive library of applications might find the 128GB model to be a more suitable option, potentially mitigating the need for frequent storage management.5 While a larger storage capacity can theoretically facilitate more extensive caching, the practical benefits of this for improving streaming performance are not definitively established and are likely heavily influenced by the quality and stability of the user's internet connection, as well as the efficiency of tvOS's caching algorithms. The presence of the A15 Bionic chip in the 3rd generation Apple TV 4K is a more significant factor contributing to the device's overall responsiveness and smooth operation for the majority of tasks.6IX. ConclusionIn summary, the 64GB internal storage of the Apple 2022 Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) serves as the foundation for storing the tvOS operating system, downloaded applications and games from the App Store, various forms of cached data including streaming media and screensavers, and temporary files necessary for system and application operation. While the device is primarily designed for streaming content, the local storage plays a crucial role in enabling its diverse functionalities. There are limitations regarding the storage of personal media files directly on the device, and users seeking to access large media libraries will need to rely on network streaming solutions. Furthermore, the internal storage is not user-expandable, making the initial storage selection important based on individual usage patterns. For typical users who primarily stream content and use a reasonable number of applications, the 64GB capacity is likely sufficient. However, users who intend to heavily engage with gaming or maintain a large number of installed applications might find the 128GB model a more appropriate choice to avoid frequent storage management. Ultimately, the Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) strikes a balance between providing adequate local storage for its intended functions and prioritizing a seamless, streaming-centric user experience, leveraging its powerful processor to deliver smooth performance within the constraints of its storage capacity.Table 1: Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) Storage Usage Breakdown (Estimated)

Finally got around to photographing something I've been really excited about securing, the Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Black Widow - Natasha Romanova statue. There's so many of these things that yes, you need to really get specific about the naming of it to get the right one.
This is one of a series of mixed media statues by Sideshow itself, featuring polystone statue with fabric outfit, which in this case is basically nicely tailored vinyl. Amongst the various Black Widow statues, I think this is the cheapest and smallest, and I actually saw it in person at Toy Traders in BC, as there aren't too many stores with the floor space to display these, and believe me I've been to a good number of them across Canada.
Furthermore, based on the selection I've seen, this is probably the most basic of them all. It's comic version, relatively simple pose and a comparatively simple base. Detailing and sculpting of the hair is also relatively simple.
During my US trip, I just happened to be passing through an area where a fellow collector lived, who was looking to sell the Special Edition version of this statue for a fair price.
The regular edition of this statue comes with two hands - one with her sniper rifle, and one holding a pistol. The Special Edition comes with an extra hand holding a knife. These generally don't cost anything extra, and serve as an incentive to buy the first round of release.
My lighting is crude so alas I'm not able to capture the statue in its entirety. It's a nice piece to display as it's relatively compact and is more about presence than dynamic motion. Natasha is standing on an inclined snowy hill, weapons drawn while looking to her right, head turned.
They were definitely aiming for comic art as the face is very much something out of Rocky and Bullwinkle, pretty much what you'd draw if you wanted a Russian woman. I guess in a way this is more accurate than Scarlet Johansson, who is Russian but I'm sure has a few other things thrown in there.
I like the convivence of having magnets do all the hard work of connecting pieces for you. It was a bit surprising, however, that only the hands comes loose and not the head. Not exactly sure why that was the case though it always comes back to manufacturing costs. Sculpting/production of the hands aren't bad, but the weapon quality varies. The sniper rifle came out fairly nice, but the pistol for whatever reason has a bent barrel. The knife is somewhere in the middle of the two. The belt, I guess is also a separate part, connecting together via a small piece of velcro. Feet were secured to the base with the tried and true metal pin in hole method.
If you collect relatively small figures all the time, when you see something at a larger format you tend to appreciate the various curves and musculature of the body better. Or at least I would if there any. Not exactly sure the worlds greatest assassin has no arm or leg muscle definition, but here we are. Accompanying her lack of thigh and calf muscles is a lack of glutes. Upper body seems about right, but it's not like we're gonna see a six pack through the suit.
Being my first Sideshow statue, I don't have anything to compare Paint work against, but for what its work what I found on the statue to be fairly well painted. Other than the Widow symbol on the belt buck, no real instances of masking (or at least any apps that would indicate masking is required). Fine paint apps such as the eyebrows and lipstick were found to be acceptable.

Diagnostic horizon.—A specific kind of soil horizon used to identify classes in Soil Taxonomy. Each diagnostic horizon has a definition describing key characteristics of its physical and chemical properties. The definition consists of a few observable and measurable properties that together reflect major genetic processes. Grouping soils with similar diagnostic horizons therefore results in the grouping of soils formed by similar pedogenesis. The strategy of using diagnostic horizons as part of taxonomic criteria was first introduced with the 6th approximation (1957) of Soil Taxonomy. The use of diagnostic horizons has since been adopted by several other soil classification systems worldwide. Diagnostic horizons are not equivalent to genetic horizons. For example, a genetic horizon labeled “Bt” is not necessarily an argillic horizon. Somewhat surprisingly, the term “diagnostic horizon” is not formally defined anywhere in Soil Taxonomy.
Table 1.—The "Illustrated Guide to Soil Taxonomy" provides photo examples of diagnostic horizons.
FIGHT SPECIFIC ISOLA Mural y documentos. 2014 BERT THEIS + ISOLA ART CENTER Milano, Italia.
No hace mucho tiempo, Isola era un antiguo barrio industrial y "pulmón verde" en una zona céntrica de Milán. Una de esas antiguas áreas donde conviven parques y jardines junto a viejas fábricas y galpones industriales. El barrio está ubicado muy cerca de la estación central de trenes, y con el paso del tiempo la población ha crecido debido a la migración hasta convertirse en un centro de diversidad multicultural donde conviven trabajadores con gente de clase media, artesanos, comerciantes, artistas e intelectuales (y por supuesto, también algunos criminales…). Isola, que significa isla en italiano, ha venido viviendo desde los últimos 20 años un desarrollo urbano basado en intereses comerciales y especulación inmobiliaria, emprendimientos que obviamente tenían poco interés por las necesidades reales del barrio y de la comunidad local.
Buscando dar respuesta al salvaje proceso de gentrificación, artistas, curadores, filósofos y activistas de Milán -y distintas partes el mundo- decidieron crear un espacio para experimentar estrategias innovadoras como una forma de resistencia a la transformación urbana, regenerando el tejido social y promoviendo una cultura alternativa.
Durante los últimos diez años Isola Art Center funcionó como una plataforma experimental abierta para el arte contemporáneo con sede en el barrio. Sus proyectos auto gestionados y "sin presupuesto” se sostuvieron gracias a la energía, el entusiasmo y la solidaridad, de vecinos, activistas y artistas que ensayaron el uso de nuevos términos como ´cubo sucio´ (en oposición al White Cube), “Centro Disperso” y “Fight Specific” (parodiando el site-specific).
Sin embargo la lucha cultural de Isola Art Center no impidió (por desgracia) que el gobierno de la ciudad de Milán realizara la demolición de su centro cultural ubicados en la “Stecca degli Artigiani" para la construcción de un inmenso rascacielos, apropiándose también de toda el área verde y los parques de los alrededores.
En la exposición presentamos “Degradazione, Speculazione, Demolizione” una obra ready-made de un mural un mural pintado los muros del el barrio de Isola durante los años 80, junto a la imagen original y un libro que documemta la experiencia llevad adelante por los artistas intentando responder a la presión constante del desarrollo neoliberal y la gentrificación

(HGM 89, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"341 Puritan" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Custard" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey produced.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Was going for something specific here and didn't quite hit the mark. I still like it- it's dramatic and the focal point is unusual to me.
This is part of my endeavor to regain love of self.
This shot...
I like my jawline, when it shows :)
I like the color of my eyes, though you can't see them.
I like the fact that after years of bitching and moaning about it, I've finally grown into my nose.
I like my lips. They're not plump, they're kind of oddly shaped if you ask me but I like them.
I like my eyes and the emotion that I see in them, though the emotion is a painful one. They give me away.
I like my cheekbone. I can rarely see it but in this shot I can.
I like my eyelashes. They're not incredibly long or full, but they work for my eyes. The only thing I don't really like about them is that they're blond, but mascara fixes that pretty quickly.
I like my eyebrows. They're unique. Half of each eyebrow is dark blond, the other half very light blond. It always gets a second look, always has. I've never seen fit to change it.
I like the way my shoulders look in this shirt.
I have a scar on my jawline from being run over by an SUV. I still pull concrete out of it from time to time. It shows me that that portion of my insanity is over.
My face looks tired and worn. Women do NOT want to look tired and worn; however, tonight, I see a face that shows evidence of happiness and sadness, and bears the experience of the expressions shown on it and their genuineness.

South Australia-specific heavy vehicle number plate.
SB33BM was registered to a white Volvo prime mover until 4 August 2009.
These were introduced in September 2007 (according to Wikipedia) and (also according to Wikipedia) are still being issued but I think the current National Heavy Vehicle plates replaced them in 2018. If Wikipedia is in fact correct, then they think (as of 15/03/2025) SB-nn-SZ is the current allocation.
SB was allocated to trucks and vehicles over 4.5T GVM and SY was allocated to trailers over 4.5T ATM.
At the same time, South Australia was also issuing the now-defunct Federal Interstate number plates with SV for trucks, SX for eXtra weight trucks and ST for trailers. The format was almost the same, except there was no second space: eg. SV-12AB. The colour scheme for Federal Interstate plates was also different, they were green on reflective orange.
There are still quite of few of SA Heavy Vehicle plates on the road in South Australia, but all Federal Interstate plates all across Australia have been recalled and replaced with the current National Heavy Vehicle Registration Scheme (NHVRS) number plates starting in July 2018 and ending when the very last truck or trailer's registration was due to expire. Victoria was the last of the original participants to switch to NHVRS, doing so in October 2018, so it is likely that the final Federal Interstate number plate came off the road in late 2019 or very early 2020.
Even though not all states and territories adopted the new Heavy Vehicle Scheme like they did Federal Interstate one, the one's that didn't still had to surrender their Federal Interstate plates (AFAIK).
