Actually, that is advertising that Apple paid for.
The program crashed, not the operating system.
Yeah, what dcj said. Not a bad advert for Apple. Even if it’s an older OS.
Now, THAT’S a computer monitor. I wonder if they can make a mouse, track pad and keyboard to run it from that distance? Bluetooth 5 with a 1/4 mile radius?
It’s done on purpose! Look at the other ad on the right…
Someone hit command+F1
