    It’s THIRTEEN YEARS OLD!

    Thirteen year old Windows computers still get updates (not to mention Linux).

    It still functions!

    Really? You don’t have any apps that refuse to run because the OS version is too old? My 10 year old iMac won’t run hardly anything…not even a browser.

    Mind you, not because the hardware is broken or unsupported, or the software is supported, but because Apple simply refuses to allow it.

      not even a browser

      Try Firefox maybe? Safari and Firefox work perfectly on my 13 year old MacBook… I don’t know what’s wrong with your machine.

      Edit: you can’t put Windows 11 on a 13 year old machine, that’s a straight-up lie. Mind you, not because the hardware is broken or unsupported, but because Microsoft simply refuses to allow it.

        I didn’t say Windows 11. I said Windows. An up-to-date version of Windows. Nice try, though.

          Why don’t your browsers work? Mine do.

          Also I’m still getting security updates.

          Edit: I don’t know why I’m entertaining you? The equivalent of the latest OSX is Windows 11 and you’re saying other shit?

          I get the APPLE BAD shit but that’s so disingenuous.

          I don’t think you’ve ever used Apple shit

            Why don’t your browsers work?

            Because it runs an older OS that’s not supported and Apple doesn’t make anything else available. We’ve already been over this.

            The equivalent of the latest OSX is Windows 11 and you’re saying other shit?

            Doesn’t matter what the equivalent is. What matters is that the OS is completely usable. As in, Windows is, and Mac isn’t.

            I get the APPLE BAD shit but that’s so disingenuous.

            What’s disingenuous is comparing MacOS to Windows 11 on a 12 year old machine and pretending like W10 doesn’t exist.

            I don’t think you’ve ever used Apple shit.

              Apple supports current macOS plus the previous two. If he’s on one of those ( which it sounds like) everything will work just fine.

                Apple supports current macOS

                …huh? Of course they do. Who else would?

                The problem is current MacOS isn’t supported on old hardware.

                Sounds like a question for Apple. Assuming that I’m doing something wrong sounds like a bad faith question.
