asklemmy is not a support channel. I haven't found any macOS related support channel on lemmy and while Im searching the internet for macOS forums, Id like to know if you have any recommendation. Some questions I have are:

how to reinstall an OCLP unsupported macOS security copy from a usb stick to the original partition

Would it make sense to ask an apple vendor to change the notebook's keyboard? It's Portuguese, I want an American keyboard)

Where do I get more memory, a new battery and can I change both things at home or is it all glued together and the only way to do it is through a vendor?

No idea about OCLP unfortunately. But I got a battery for my mid 2015 macbook off Amazon. Changing it isn’t hard but you’ll need a funky 5 lobed screwdriver. The 2015 and I assume onward memory is soldered to the board, so you’re probably stuck, although an independent repair shop could probably swap boards or something. The keyboard is integrated into the top plate according to apple, it was over $200 for the part last time I checked on eBay.

And don’t even get me started on the SSD :-( They are kind of a pain in the dick… but so sexy inside.

One of my friends mentioned he was downloading pre-patched MacOSs from the internet archive, so that might be worth a look.

Good luck.
