    Resolved 2019 16" Macbook Pro Damaged (by desk lamp leak?)

    I'd been using a trusty Intel 16" Macbook Pro until I got a smaller M1 a few months ago and kept the 16" as backup.

    Software / Data Engineers: Has anyone had issues upgrading 2019 Intel MBP 16" to Big Sur or Monterey?

    I'm still running Catalina because I don't want to mess anything up on my machine. I'm not an experienced programmer and I would hate to have directories misplaced and then have to troubleshoot because I probably wouldn't know what to do on my own. However, here are some new features that I...
