The initial reported spec, "a High Sierra MBP," is ambiguous. That could mean a 
2010 MBP, that can be updated up to High Sierra with a third party enabler, or 
more likely Ces VLC meant that the machine's original and default OS from Apple 
was High Sierra, indicating a 2018 model, which is still supported by Apple up 
to current, or Ventura.

Anyway, while the names of all the macOS versions are so very cute, they 
inevitably waste my time because I always have to double check the name against 
the actual OS version number, which is the detail that matters. Up to Lion, I 
had them memorized. Since then I have resisted learning them all because Apple 
aggravatingly increased its OS release cycle and feature creep to yearly. I 
honestly wish there were two releases, one that included new features, and one 
that didn't require disabling all the unwanted and unnecessary new features.
