Hello,
i recently formatted my mac due to some lag and thought it was overloaded.
however, now I do not have Macintosh - HD and “APPLE SSD AP1024N Media” simply says “uninitialised”. I have tried to reinstall macOS but it wont give me the option of any disk.
note: I DO NOT care if I lose data or documents or whatever. I simply want my mac to work again.
and yes “show all devices” is on.
Select the top most item "Apple SSD AP1024...." which is the internal physical SSD. Use the erase tab and erase the physical SSD as GUID partition and APFS (top option). From your picture of Disk Utility it appears you have already erased the physical SSD since there are no partitions/containers shown. Just make sure it is GUID partition and APFS (top option) to install macOS 10.13+.

Thank you so much. God bless.
