    That 2003 PC probably does not receive firmware updates from the manufacturer, and hasn’t for over a decade.

    It might still function, but that doesn’t mean it is still supported. At this point, many operating systems won’t even install due to the x86-64bit requirements.

      None of that matters. No company can say what your hardware can do. Apple’s policies are disgustingly anti-user.

        Nothing else matters except privacy and security for me. Apple provides that in their phones.

        PCs from 2003 are full of vulnerabilities, use legacy instruction sets, lack power efficiency, lack manufacture support, do not support UEFI, have no IOMMU hardware isolation, have no modern VM capabilities, probably have no TPM, etc etc etc.

        If Apple is anti-user, then we need to also start blaming every single hardware manufacturer that doesnt support their products anymore. Manufacturers of phones, motherboards, TVs, SSDs, displays, mice, keyboards, printers, network equipment, etc etc etc.
