There it is, rationalization of Apple's hand-holding.  Pathetic.

And that's fine - but mine just works, too.  I expect to have to get
my hands dirty, assembling hardware, and use my brain, setting up the
OS and installing software.  It's *my* computer, not Microsoft's, not
Apple's or Dell's.  Even when I first installed Win10 on it, in 2021,
it was my setup of such, not an OEM's.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
