And they’ll be unable to update or run current software in 10 years, yay
Why do you think that?
I’m mad that my wife’s imac from 2013 can’t update and Plex server won’t run on its old operating system.
A few years ago, I used dosdude's "patcher" to install 10.13 on a pretty old MacBook Pro that couldn't run it. It's been working really well. I think "OpenCore" might the more modern version of this. Worth a look?
This looks super interesting https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
Also wow people are upgrading iMac CPUs

I do miss the days of swappable parts especially the soldered ram is such a ripoff just for a few mm of thinness that I don’t need
