Developer samhenrigold shows off a macOS compatibility layer built by "(ab)using an emulator and ripping it apart", running classic macOS (with apps like Keynote '09) on a modern MacBook Pro M4 Max. He jokes the approach is "upsettingly Microsoft-y", and notes it's a big year for Apple emulators: iPod touches, HomePods, and now Intel Macs.
