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.

The point was that Windows is the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We're going backwards here. I've already explained how it's not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

All you've said is that it's fine because you can run Windows 10 on old hardware, but somehow being able to run a fully supported version of macOS isn't good enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why do my browsers work and yours don’t? What are you doing wrong?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

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