Blog2026 ≫ My Macbook is too old to get the os update

I'm getting warnings that software will stop working on this operating system (Big Sur) but I checked and this is a 2014 Macbook so too old to get the update to the next version! Is it nearly time to say goodbye old friend? What will I do with all the stickers on the case?? Can I get a transplant?

I think this computer could live under the TV, permanently connected to the TV when it's time to get a new one. That's probably as long as any home computer has lasted me isn't it? Even the PCs I had before had most of their innards replaced over time effectively making them new computers. This has had nothing done to it since Holiday Extras first bought it. I bought it second hand off them when I left there just over five years ago. Maybe I'll get another second hand macbook.

But first, to Burrito Buoy in Folkestone for lunch.

Have to go to the bank before it shuts to pay some money and a cheque in for T1, and then we'll be back to watch rugby this afternoon, while I try and reassemble this Dyson...

Light rain and a fresh breeze, 8 - 10℃.
