I’m on 10.14 (Mojave)
Can’t update Obsidian to 1.8.9 (installer is greyed-out, like it’s not compatible with my OS)
What’s up with that?! It’s not fair. Note everyone can afford a new mac…

It’s indeed not compatible with your OS, and I’ve run into the same issue on my mac mini (late 2012) version. I’ve explored a few different variants on how to deal with this, and some of this has been documented in this forum). The gist of it is as follows:
I’m currently doing both of the latter options. I’ve upgraded my mac mini to now run on Monterey (12.6(?)), and I could upgrade further if I wanted to, using the Open Core Legacy Patcher. In parallell that computer is also running the docker engine, allowing me to connect to my main vault(s) from other devices in my apartment (without needing to sync ).
Thanks for your detailed reply holroy.
I think I’m just gonna stick with the one I’ve been using - the only reason I tried the update was 'cos it keeps pestering me with a note in the top right saying “there’s a newer version!” - and also today I couldn’t load screenshots and found out that was an issue others hah had, and which apparently was fixed in a later version.
Overall I’m happy with the one I’ve got (just like my 2012 MacBook - still going strong!)
In the other thread there are some references as to how to go back a version or two… The reason I’m mentioning it is that you don’t really want to the Obsidian version to stray too much from the installer version, as that can causes some unwanted artifacts.
I did consider staying on an earlier version myself, but left that idea rather soon since I’m also somewhat engaged in work related to Dataview. But I do see your point, and my point just now is then to help you make your installation as good and stable as possible when you chose a version for the longevity. That means to have corresponding installer and Obsidian version numbering.
