Yet another example that Apple caring about the environment is absolutely rubbish. They sold the 2018 Mini into 2023 and it’s allready dropped. Shame on Apple, pathetic for a company with the money and resources that Apple has.

This could be it for Intel. My 2019 16" MacBook Pro will get almost the typical 7 years at least.

For those of us who bought the last generation Intels before Apple Silicon was announced, this softens the pain.

Hopefully the sliver of Intel support remaining will give the open core legacy patcher folks something to work with.
