I assumed there was something wrong with my setup because this UX is insane. Good to know it’s just shit.

That 2013 won’t be getting security updates anymore. Apple only tends to provide security updates for 10 years. I’d be cautious with that honestly.

Unfortunately that’s not really true since the M1 series, because there were no drivers for any of the custom Apple hardware. There is a purpose built Apple Sillicon distro but it doesn’t even run on M3 or M4 macs yet.

That’s fair, I’ll give him credit for not talking about battery powered boats

Trump levels of incoherence 😬

200 USD is eye watering? Sure you can get a better newer complete machine for less, but that’s more a case of used thinkpads being cheap rather than this being expensive IMO. Seems like a deal to me, given that you’re paying for parts (mobo + cpu, which also need sourcing), BGA soldering and shipping.
