Such a disingenuous headline. The article outlines how pre-2012 Mac can’t support Metal, which breaks a bunch of stuff.

An aside: A few years ago, I used OCLP to install Monterey on my old (Early 2013) MacBook Pro 13”. It was fine, until one day it just stopped booting. It wasn’t hardware: Wiped it, reinstalled Catalina, still worked fine. It’s a fun toy to play with, but I wouldn’t want to be depending on it for anything important.

This doesn’t really help, but it’s not just you.

Edit: Oh, wait, this article is specifically about USB-C chargers. Still odd yours isn’t working with USB-A!

It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.

Ah, sexism is alive and well in tech.

The replies throughout this entire post are incredible. You are exactly right, yet downvoted for it.

iPhone was announced January 2007 and released in June. The phone you’re linking to was released September 2008.

What was your point again?

Australia went through a similar thing. Facebook got what they wanted after a few days.
