    Verbatim, since apologists _hate_ what Apple is, so they deny what Apple
    does (which helps them to maintain intact their imaginary belief system).

    "You might want to hold off until there's a solution."

    "macOS Big Sur hasn't been a pleasant update for some users.
    According to MacRumors, users on Apple's forums and Reddit are stuck
    with a black screen when trying to update their late 2013 or mid 2014
    13-inch MacBook Pro models to Big Sur. Nothing appears to solve the
    issue, including shortcuts to reset the NVRAM and SMC."

    "For now, at least, you might want to hold off on updating your
    older 13-inch MacBook Pro."
