It's easy to avoid if you simply keep using what works. For example, I still use Office 2003 because it does everything I need.

The redirect loop is still going on 198 kHz early Tuesday, June 30 in the UK. Quite possibly its last day on the air after over a century of BBC broadcasting on longwave.
Absolutely!
For that reason, I'm using MacOS 10.14 Mojave(released September 2018 and last updated July 2021) on my computer. It hasn't received updates in awhile, but it still works well enough and is safe enough if I'm careful.
I actually did try to upgrade, but every time I went past Catalina (MacOS 10.15), my audio interface broke. On Catalina, my interface worked, my DAW software broke, so I decided to stick with Mojave because everything works.

198 kHz is now off the air. Unsure when the final shutdown occurred, but no signal received on various SDRs in the UK around 1400 UTC today.
Goodbye to the BBC on longwave after more than a century.

According to posts by Alan Pennington and Richard Langley on Glenn Hauser’s World of Radio site, the final shutdown of 198 kHz was at 1103 UTC today, or just after noon in the UK.
