    I mean I ran my 2011 mbp into the ground, until the point that the SMC’s fan channels stopped working and it always rebooted at exactly 00:00 for no apparent reason, and never had issues with apps not being able to run on a 3 year old version of the OS. After that 3 year period most apps still worked, although some would indeed start targeting newer api’s.

    I know it was volunteering work, and I don’t want to defend apple any further than strictly here, but saying they “murdered” the OS every 7 years is just straight up not true, that was all I wanted to say.

      Mmk well. Not sure how you did that, considering my 2018 MBP wouldn’t even run Firefox anymore.

      Even “murdered” W10 will still run pretty much all .exe

        A 2018 MBP should be good for MacOS 15 Sequoia, which still runs updated Firefox. I’m still running Sonoma (the version before that) and I use Firefox as my primary browser.
