Apple is changing the core code of macOS, and it’s about to turn thousands of perfectly good everyday tech accessories into total e-waste.
In this video, I look at why my flawless 2017 HP LaserJet Pro M12w printer—alongside legacy drawing tablets, old audio interfaces, scanners, and ethernet adapters—will completely stop working starting next year. The reason comes down to the official removal of the Rosetta 2 translation layer in macOS 28.
We look at corporate planned obsolescence, look at how manufacturers use software updates to force upgrades (like HP’s controversial Dynamic Security firmware), and I show you exactly how to check your own Mac system files right now.
Don't let software updates kill your gear. Watch until the end for a few practical workarounds to save your hardware!
