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.

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.
