Tell HN: Chrome and Spotify dropping support for macOS11

7•Kalanos•2h ago

My 2014 MacBook Pro is locked to macOS 11.7.10

Chrome: "To get future Google chrome updates, you'll need macOS 12 or later"

Spotify: "Your OS is out of date. To enjoy Spotify's latest features, upgrade to a newer version."

This is why unlocked bootloaders and published specs are important, even if you don't care about free software ethics. You should have the right to run any software you want on your hardware.

I agree. The MacBook Pro 2014 does have an unlocked bootloader and runs Linux fine, on which you can run Chrome and Spotify. I don’t think Apple has an obligation to support an old laptop with MacOS, but they should release specs to allow driver development.

You realize that your response is totally irrelevant in this case since you can easily run any x86 based operating system on a 2014 MacBook Pro?
