Earlier quoted context omitted.

Haven't you not been getting food this whole time? Why is your frustration increasing?

Help me understand how being starved for food is analogous to having OS version names that don’t reflect the order of OS releases.

The irritant becomes with as time goes on as long as its present. More and more meaningless names to memorize...

5-6 year support for hardware is just too short. I have a Mid 2015 Macbook Pro as a "backup" and that computer is still quite decent.

They haven’t yet released a machine worth upgrading to if you’re on a 2015 MBP. I recently got a 14” M1 and I think I’ll just reinstall my 2015 and move back to it.

You can’t be serious? The m1 is so good, great performance, much quieter and doesn’t get hot, and the battery life is amazing. Also there’s not many compatibility issues now

See reply below about Open Core Legacy Patcher[1] which enables to use older Intel Models to use modern OS Versions. And for even older hardware, check out the patchers from Dosdude[2]. Most likely this will not be possible with the M-Class Processors from Apple, which is a shame.

The login items panel is such a good change, and also like 20 years overdue.

Yes, I have been baffled that it was always so difficult for the user to manage what’s auto-launched on start-up. So many apps try to bury into start-up so they can keep collecting data and lightly spamming the user. Can anyone shed light on why it took so long? I had always figured the non-existence of a login items panel was a purposeful choice.

It's actually been there for a long time. It's a separate tab in "Users & Groups" pre-Ventura.

I’m sure quite a few MBP 2015 users are going to be a little sad the end is near. I loved that machine. I was able to skip the 2017 MBP and go to 2019, but honestly I miss the smaller trackpad.

Still using the 2013 and 2015 MBPs here, had no reason to upgrade. Love them to death, still no hardware issues whatsoever except a new battery. I also prefer the smaller trackpad. Guess its time to gift them to my parents.

Luckily, the M1/M2 is finally a worthy upgrade, after years of keyboard issues and unwanted features.

I’d wager that the vast majority of people who have made that upgrade would disagree with that view; it’s a substantial step-change in most ways, if you use the device for software development or content creation.
