    I’m a Mac user. I like using Macs, and I like using macOS. Apple are just as bad as MS for this shit.

    I have an old MacBook Pro, as well as a pair of older minis. All three were left behind by macOS a few years ago, but if they weren’t all running Sonoma through OpenCore, they’d have an update in the App Store to upgrade to a new OS that Apple won’t let them run.

        Oh, I don’t mean ads in general, just the pop up inviting you to download an OS update that they know full well won’t install on that hardware. It’s a classic example of FOMO, a subtle way to make the user aware that their machine is old and needs to be replaced.

        Or that they need to break out OCLP and get a few more years from good hardware.
