I created a mac in a vm and then I used system migration tool to sort of upload my old macbook pro's consciousness into the cloud.

pretty cool

I've been thinking about resurrecting my machines with older versions of osx - I'll have to figure out how to boot say 10.11 or 10.12

FYI The person who created that video I believe followed this other person's website devoted to all the details of getting it to work:

one cool thing is - once you have it installed, you can clone it freely and even remote log into several at once.

I believe they even figured out how to run them on those 32-core or 64-core amd threadrippers.

I love the wording and the concept, thank you for the chuckle
I still do it when I want to test things quickly even though I have a mac mini in the same room.
