Facebook is a medium to express oneself. If that expression is anger, it is not Facebook's fault. What she is suggesting is corporate censorship. She wants to pass final judgement over what someone says based on whether she agrees with it. Heck, I do not agree with a lot of stuff I read on Facebook. It is trash. But I am smart enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's a slippery slope. Not one I am willing to jump on.

None of my Macs support Mojave. They are already hacked to run unsupported High Sierra and can’t go further to Mojave.

You're either a hobbyist who can't afford their hobby. Or a professional who doesn't charge enough, doesn't realize time is money, or both. If it's the former, I feel for you. I wish I could afford an expensive hobby, like fast cars or traveling the world. If it's the latter, charge more money and earn what you deserve.

Quick question. I need a Macbook Pro without Touch Bar.  Is any model available now?

Uh, didn't all models of the 2019 MBP13 lineup have Touch Bar. It's really the 2018 2-port TB3 models and prior that don't have the Touch Bar.

You are correct. I was looking at the 2019 when I copied the link.

Personally, I think the middle ground would be to postpone the event and evaluate the situation in 6-8 weeks.

WWDC is 12 weeks from now, in June. COVID-19 infections will either have decreased dramatically as the weather warms or we could be in deep trouble.

In the United States, there have been more than 225 confirmed cases with 14 deaths. 11 of those 14 deaths were in Washington. 8 of the 11 deaths in Washington have been linked to a nursing home, Life Care Center, in Kirkland, Washington. A majority of deaths in the United States have been immunocompromised individuals. These are the facts, draw your own conclusions.

When I buy an iPhone, I don’t see a clause about “planned obsolescence”.  But in fact, after a few years, the new iOS versions and apps can’t be installed in the older iPhones. Virtually, Apple has disabled older iPhones from functioning. It is planned obsolescence.

If the current IP laws don’t allow installation of an Android to current iPhone versions that I respect. But it’s also a monopolistic practice that law makers should protect the consumer rights. 

You received what you were promised when you bought it and were never guaranteed anything more.
