Re: Big Sur on 2012 Mac Mini? - 5 days ago

I have not seen anything on DosDude1.com about a Big Sur patcher, yet. I wonder if anyone else is building patcher? I did find this discussion that might be a place to find some clues:

Re: Pelosi promised another impeachment in lieu of the 25th... - 11 days ago

Impeachment can also be used as a tool to keep 45 from holding any government office in the future, right? If so, that is good rationale to pursue an impeachment. I believe I heard that an impeachment can be finished even after he is out of office (?). I know the goal though is to remove ASAP. I need to verify that though...

BTW, my 2011 MacBook Pro and 2011 Mac mini run amazingly well on Catalina, been very pleased to get them both to the newer Catalina macOS. DosDude1 has done well with his patcher, has extended the useful life of these two computers to 9 years now, I expect they will spend much more time on Catalina before they are end of life. Since I like net surfing with MBP around the house and when out an

MBP 2011 8,2: 10.15 Security updates With DosDude1 Patched Computers - 24 days ago

I am trying to recover use of a my MBP 2011 WiFi which seems to have been lost after updating with DosDude1 patcher tool at the point of 10.15.7. Seems like a lot of people from my online searches are indicating this problem. It sounds like it "might" be fixed with the last Security Update (not totally positive about that). I am currently on 10.15.7 Build 19H15, trying to get to 10.1

I would argue that if one's life depended on their vehicle for more than one or two sleep periods for life support and nutrition, then that person did indeed live in space. Therefore, all three of those listed would fit my definition. Depending on someone else's definition of living in space, then YMMV...
