No more new features for intel macs after 5 years. They will be dropped completely from security patches in 2028.
2028 is going to be another major opportunity to convert Mac users to Linux.
My neighbor was my last convert. Elderly couple that just need Facebook and the ability to print mundane things.
It was a Windows 11 AIO that got a virus and I gave them the look, man speech
Look, man I got this system at the house I could bring over, really utilitarian, no frills but also nothing wasted, it'll do everything you need, it's called Linux.
Oh, you've heard of it, ok, well...
I've never had to buy new hardware for a Windows upgrade.
Business buys new hardware on a cycle anyway, and upgrades OS on a cycle too, so this is a tempest in a teapot.
Oh well good point: your company is the only context that exists.
It’s throwing out perfectly good hardware earlier than need be. That’s indefensible.
