@jkb like an emulator, except over time new releases of emulators gradually become more accurate and converge on the correct intended experience, whereas over time new releases of browsers gradually diverge into newer, weirder, and more user-hostile stuff
as the years went on, i started seeing more and more stuff that was web-based rather than being an actual computer program i could own. PHP forums, java applets, flash, javascript SPAs. people tried to make websites do more and more, but they still always felt like... not real software? there was always something janky and bad about the whole experience, or the design, and that feeling's never really gone away for me. everything on a computer is like this now, even the OS feels like a web page

@burgerbecky oh and just to make sure, these converters all work with M.2 SATA, not NVMe. a little harder to find outside of China these days as it's a bit outdated. this is my recommended store to get them from, the GUDGA brand seems most reliable https://aliexpress.com/store/3719015
@burgerbecky i bought mine from AliExpress, but you should be able to find the same thing on eBay or Amazon if you want. they're all pretty generic: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005761995669.html
@burgerbecky best solution i've come across is using an M.2 to IDE converter, worked well for my iBook G4

a miserable pile of secrets.
It's a huge pain in the ass tbh. It's so that you can run smol computers inside your regular computer, because developers have a hard time understanding how your computer works and want you to just use theirs.
