Portland Macintosh Users Group (PMUG)

This is a good article on the subject and the reason why OCLP will not be an option for Intel Macs for OSs beyond Sequoia. The link below is a post by a OCLP member of this article on Facebook.

Information or Misinformation

I found this observation in another post and was sufficiently impressed with the content that I am going to “share” it:

“Before reacting to headlines, especially ones that feel urgent or alarming, it is a good idea to pause and check the original source or a second reliable explanation. A few extra minutes of verification can prevent the spread of misinformation and confusion and keep our conversations grounded in what is actually happening.”

I will leave the source as anonymous as it should be universally accepted.
