Yeah it occurs to me that it may wind up being a software update that eventually forces my hand. Thing is, so much of what I do is on Apple software (safari, pages, numbers, etc) that it's tough to imagine Apple not continuing to support those on my hardware for at least a few more years. And even then, it's hard to imagine a software feature I'd want and miss so badly that I'd pull the trigger on an entirely new hardware set up just to get it.
Graduated to a ][GS before college brought me into the world of Macs. Fun memories.
Pretty interesting. I'd seen some threads here at MR about getting Monterey working on "old" hardware too. I've thought about it but this is my somewhat mission critical DD so it has to work 100% of the time. Seems like these workarounds always bring issues, even if just annoying maintenance and updates. Maybe if/when I get new hardware I'll give it a go since the machine otherwise works great.
No, target display mode only works with older macs/MacOS versions.
Luna display works great over thunderbolt bridge. Using it with my M1 Mini and 2011 27" iMac. Not supported with Retina display however.
Want to make sure I understand what you're saying... Luna allows you to use your 27" iMac as an external display, but *not* at the full 5k resolution?
Ah right now I see that you said it was a pre-retina 27" so that makes sense.
LOL easy cougar. I'm a capitalist. But if you're even remotely in touch with the threads here then you'd know Apple is leaving money on the table by not offering high quality monitors outside of the $6000 XDR. The LG ones Apple sells are meh to put it mildly.
Trying this, and I have a very dumb question -- don't know if you can help.
