Hello, thank you for your video. I am new macbook user and I had this experience. Is it normal or can it damage my macbook?

I've had more issues with Macs crashing than Windows, and I've been using Macs since 1983, yes, six months before they were released to the general public. I was part of a beta test group in the summer of '83. While Mac OS is a better operating system than Windows, it's not without its issues.

I don't know if it's a program or the operation of the pc

i have plenty of space on my mac air, i haven’t even used half of the room available which is 256GB. i downloaded premiere pro and filmora bc i’m practice to edit videos. for some reason on filmora every time i try to cut something out from my video the spinning wheel pops up and it stays there, i’ve tried everything and my mac is 2 years old i bought it new. didn’t even use it for a whole year either. it’s fully updated and everything. why is this happening???

Okay, I have 16' Macbook Pro M1 Max 64gb Ram 1tb ssd, and i keep getting spinning wheel regulary when working in Photoshop. I do have 1 app that launches when turning Mack back on, which is 'Keep Drive Spinning' app. I have 64gig of Ram for crying out loud. I have devised 80% of machines RAM for photoshop operation alone. I dont understand what is happening here?
