What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

There is a patch to update macOS when it’s not compatible. One I have used before is from dosdude1.

You can also put Linux on it, or dual boot. Older Intel Macs I remember being really wasy, the T2 Mac’s need special drivers but it’s not too hard, and the new Mac’s have ashai Linux.

    It's Opencore Legacy Patcher these days. A remarkable tool really.

    I used it to run up to Sequoia on a couple of old Macs, which I've ended up just putting Linux on instead. But if you're an iOS dev, then OCLP is a decent shout.

    That said, we're only a year or two away from macOS dropping Intel support entirely, and that'll be the end for OCLP.
