Selecting fails, hand tool won’t go away while trying to select other tools

Is anyone else having these issues?

Dimension was working relatively fine before, then I kept being forced to restart the app because tools and moves will just stop working.

Like simply swithcing to a different tool, or attempting to select something, or simply trying to move something, either with the moves tool or by dragging from the cone shapes on the move tool indicators.
One time it seemed to fail when zoomed in, but when zoomed back out it seemed to register my actions again, but inevitably failed again.
Restarting the app gets the functions back again, until they inevitably fail again. 

 

If that’s not all, I’m on a M1 iMac 2021, Big Sur (not updating yet because I heard some USB periferals have been failing with Moneterey), 8 GB of ram, and plenty of storage and external hardrive storage as well.

I'm telling you its the wrong tool for the task yes... 8G Ram = workstation and will not rendor anything

the 16 G Ram models can do limited rendors and a lot of people do use them for making there youtube vids but even that is not the right tool for Dimension, Blender or any other rendor jobs

 

even Apple Mac calls their rendor systems Pro models but they are very $ for what you get and most people i.e, actual 3rd party reviews that are posted all over the internet recommend Windows instead @ 1/4 the $ for at least double the power so enjoy your Mac, its great for some things

you have an M1 with only 8 G of Ram? I'm surprised it will even boot up, nevermind run any software... time to move on to another system

Okay, so let me get this straight, because I only have 8 gb of ram on an iMac 2021 machine, you're essentially telling me that I should throw out the entire machine? 

Are you demented? 

I think you're the first troll I've encountered on Adobe forums. 
Why are you wasting yours and my time. 

Useless.
