How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
No need to keep Mojave to run iTunes — iTunes can be run on newer macOS, by using Retroactive [1] to patch it.
Regarding running a newer macOS on older hardware, check out OCLP [1] — do make sure you make full backups and have a working recovery plan before trying anything with OCLP though. I know that might sound somewhat obvious to a lot of folk, but you'd be surprised at the amount of folk that jump in and try OCLP on their main system without any backup plan.
Note that are some gotchas re installing OCLP on some older h/w, and it will help to read up on possible issues before wading in. e.g. during installation it might be necessary to use a wired keyboard and mouse, via a USB hub, until the installation is done, you might also need a wired network connection during install, similarly. Depends on h/w (I've not patched MacBooks myself, yet). Once the patcher is done, these should not be needed anymore.
Official support for OCLP is only via Discord — but there is a very active unofficial peer/user support group on FB [3]
HTH!

What vintage mac to buy for iPods?
That said, my 2020 Mac Mini M1 also works great with the USB iPods - I used an app called Retroactive to get iTunes 11.4, which works fabulously to load my iPods. Can't say how well it works with the Firewire iPods, as I don't have all the requisite Thunderbolt adapters to make it work.

- Am I missing something here?? I’m so confused.

3,1 need OSX10.15, any reason to go higher if able, or stay with 10.15 for better compatibility?Big changes from 10.14?
There's a project called Retroactive https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ that lets you install iTunes 10-12 on Catalina and newer OS. You could do that and still keep your playlists, etc.
- Asking for Itunes back is too much but COME ON, 'music' is absolutely terrible cross the board BIG SUR
- Music on Mac keeps duplicating local playlists even after deleting individually

Follow-up on sessions vs catalogs
you can run Aperture on newer Macs https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ just in case you want to check.

Framework's software and firmware have been a mess, but it's working on them
I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.
So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.
Frame.work: https://frame.work/
Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...
System76: https://system76.com/laptops
Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business
I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.
- Which Windows/Linux laptop maker do you like the most?

The Gazelle Laptops are the biggest POS
I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

That feeling when you are unboxing a flagship keyboard from a major brand in 2023 and find out it uses micro-USB #smh
No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

1080p 7840U laptop
You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

ELI5: What makes a consumer laptop in 2023 better than one in 2018?
Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

Conflicting information from Framework on my preorder
a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
