Try Firefox maybe? Safari and Firefox work perfectly on my 13 year old MacBook… I don’t know what’s wrong with your machine.
Edit: you can’t put Windows 11 on a 13 year old machine, that’s a straight-up lie. Mind you, not because the hardware is broken or unsupported, but because Microsoft simply refuses to allow it.
Why don’t your browsers work? Mine do.
Also I’m still getting security updates.
Edit: I don’t know why I’m entertaining you? The equivalent of the latest OSX is Windows 11 and you’re saying other shit?
I get the APPLE BAD shit but that’s so disingenuous.
I don’t think you’ve ever used Apple shit
Apple supports current macOS plus the previous two. If he's on one of those ( which it sounds like) everything will work just fine.
The point was that Windows is the same.
All you've said is that it's fine because you can run Windows 10 on old hardware, but somehow being able to run a fully supported version of macOS isn't good enough.
Why do my browsers work and yours don’t? What are you doing wrong?
