That’s apple wanting to control their closed hardware ecosystem. Windows is built to run on a significantly wider range of hardware, so isn’t really comparable in that way.

I’m not using windows, but apple does the same thing. My OS is 9 versions old because they won’t let me upgrade without buying a new computer.

True, microsoft is a wehrmacht nazi soldier where as apple is full on gestapo.

I guess that’s true. But both are acting everyone just has money to waste.

Well, for people that buy into Apple, there’s a higher chance that’s the case 😅

True true! But there’s a reason why I’ve only bought used.

When I was kind of strapped on cash, the 2016 iphone SE was the most best choice by far. The android phones I’d had before that usually cost a similar amount and they all broke in less than three years. But that 290€ bad boy lasted until I lost it in 2023. Shame they’re no longer making those. But I guess the silver lining is that people don’t make fun of me for having an iPhone anymore.

Try OpenCore Legacy Patcher

I’ve seen similar options, but haven’t heard of this one. Looks like my 17 yr old comp might be compatible. I wonder how compatible though, since most of my USB ports already don’t work with my supported OS.
Anyway, thanks, I’ll look more into it.

Will installing / using this reset or format the Mac? I mean, as a first time install thing.

Believe so, yes. You have to clean install the OS with a installer made using the tool.

Ah ok. Thanks!
