In this episode, we are diving deep into how it is possible to run unsupported Mac’s on the latest version of macOS and how this process will change in the post-Intel future Apple is headed towards. We are also breaking down if it will even be possible to run Intel Mac’s on the latest version of macOS when Intel Mac’s are no longer supported and what those possible solutions would entail. All of this, and more, on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.
