He has already a lot of things to do but perhaps this fellowship of the discord warriors that he is actively keybord-fighting can do?^^
Anyway, I am waiting so go to work someone!
And hey it is not very polite to write about someone without tagging him @Cooler3D
Yes it will. I've rolled over on my switch a couple times to a "SD CARD EJECTED" black screen warning, and the switch gets so mad. So glad that about 2 years ago AMS added reboot takeover.
It’s just UNIX, not magic. I vaguely remember watching a few Hackintosh videos way back when and you’re right - setting up a machine like that does seem to be a pain in the ass since MacOS is very particular about the hardware components you choose.
With that being said, I took a quick gander to see how the situation looks like *today* and it seems running MacOS from USB drives is very much a thing. In fact, it’s been a thing for well over 10 years now thanks to iPortable Snow - even back then you could do it with relative ease.
As far as booting MacOS from USB on a compatible Apple machine *today* (Hackintosh shenanigans aside), there doesn’t seem to be anything holding the user back from installing a copy of MacOS on a removable drive - the system doesn’t draw a distinction like that. Once the OS is installed on your desired drive, you can launch from it by holding down the Option key (Intel) or the Power button (Apple Silicon) at boot. It appears to be a very common method of system recovery in the event of a dead/inaccessible internal drive, or as a way to test out Beta builds without affecting your main drive - works fine, albeit understandably slower.
Tl;dr You can install and boot MacOS from a USB drive just fine.

Not sure why the bar was raised to installing the OS to an external drive *and* using it across multiple different machines. That’s just an additional benefit *I* introduced to the discussion in regards to Windows to explain that not only is it possible, it also has a very good use case. When the argument started, we were discussing using an external drive in the same way you’d use an internal one, but here we are, I guess.
I didn’t even mention booting Linux from an external drive because we’ve been using portable Linux installations for so long it’s not even worth mentioning - Live CD’s and Live USB’s are commonplaces. As such, I conclude that all three of the “big” commercially available operating systems can in fact install to an external drive and boot from it.
Nah he also has them "moral ideals", also seems to be based on his personal preferences since he himself said that cheating in games is piracy.
What? Do you mean the thing about cheating in online games being one of the things that could trigger a ban, because that's just a fact. I've never seen anyone say cheating is piracy.

Lol...what a bullshit. Cheating online is unfair against the players in your lobby. Not piracy. Not including sigpatches has its moral reasons, yes. And that is piracy. Safety reasons (as stated further above). And cheating doesn't "count" to that category. Here you can see the statement why they aren't included...
Thats stupid that they didn't add hdd support in the cfw because "it promotes piracy". Cfw promotes piracy in general!
that needs no further explanation should be fairly obvious.
Some day I even was scolded for recommend a hacking guide, sometimes people are exaggerating.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
