For those interested in the Samsung T7 2TB SSD drive that is currently $159 at Amazon, it will be $150 at Costco starting 2/1 through 2/15. I have had good luck with that drive.

Excellent deals on 85" Samsung TV. Also will be good to buy 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro model over the M2 Pro model due to the high discounts.

Racketeering – a type of organized crime in which the perpetrators set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a "racket") to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

Apple abandoning old hardware with the latest versions of their OS is the definition of racketeering. You'd be crazy to buy any hardware from Apple that is over a year old.

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, it's obvious that abandoning old machines has nothing to do with the resources necessary to support them, nor any BS about degraded user experience.
