That's exactly the situation I wanted to avoid with our aging macbook. I knew it would be a hacky mess trying to keep beating that dead horse to get it to run the latest OS. We couldn't update some software that required us to be on the latest version of MacOS (Signal desktop), so the laptop became prematurely obsolete. We bought a Windows PC instead.

At some point during the hacky patching process, the wifi driver for older devices went away with a MacOS upgrade, and the patcher has to install it.
