Are you sure you're on the latest release? Neither Sierra nor High Sierra list support for any Macbook Pro before mid-2010. https://support.apple.com/en-u...
I doubt this would prevent someone from running a BIOS emulation layer through an EFI boot loader, just removing it from the EFI firmware. Can anyone confirm?
Go ahead and install an older version and disable updates. Then fork it and backport security fixes and feature updates yourself. Complaining isn't going to solve anything.
Blu-Ray copy protection is permanently broken for all the discs I own. And that's enough for me. If I stop being able to rip them, I stop buying them. I hate dealing with physical discs and copy them to a media server anyway.
And just why do automakers not use a strong collar on the steering post that would prevent extraction of the guts of the lock?
Because the automaker isn't the bank and they get their money either way. Or alternately, they are the bank (GM) and they still get to collect from the customer/insurance while selling another new car.
Wave after wave of "Other OS" style class-action lawsuits will be the only thing that maybe makes this finally stop. External server or not, you're changing the functionality of the device post-purchase. The ONLY acceptable time to do this is post-bankruptcy. And even then, it would be better to open-source the server software or publishing the protocol as you go down.
Like Echo/Alexa requiring a "music storage" service to hold your music somewhere outside of your home just to charge money to stream it back to you. Google gives you reasonable amounts of external storage, but then won't let you connect a nice external amp/speaker to their voice control system.
So concerned with vendor lock in that they forget about long-term customer lock-in. You can't make someone think about their home the way they think about "disposable" tech. The lack of interoperability is number 1. Number 2 is the external dependency on a server to do basic control functions - and that server will go away before the device fails.
I want it to connect to my own home hub or server for the same reason I prefer Blu-Ray over "digital copies." I am in control of when it goes away.
One needs to separate the person from their government.
And in the case of the student, they already physically have. Same with the international student coming to the US to study in many cases - it's partly about getting away at least for a while.
Believe it. There are a LOT of reluctant shoppers out there on Thursday. Yes, the shoppers have a choice - but they are not really the ones with the power in this situation - especially if they depend on the lower prices (not everything is an oversized flat screen).
Most customers don't want to bail on Thanksgiving early just to go shopping - but will anyway and resent it. But that's when the sales have moved to. Move them back to Friday morning and both customers and workers are happier about the whole thing.

It runs the same instructions directly on the CPU, but Windows implements the DOS system interrupts differently.
If it was a virtual machine environment, then 16-bit apps would work on 64-bit Windows. They don't.
installing my own keys.....by flipping physical switches
You want to have 2048 dip switches for entering your secure boot key? I'd rather use a GUI for that.

That's not even required in EFI Class 3, per the article:
that's not going to force on UEFI Secure Boot unconditionally: Secure Boot enabled is considered UEFI Class 3+.

The failed attempt count probably isn't stored in the secure enclave, but I don't know.
You don't get to put the crazy shooters in jail until after they shoot someone.
Then lock up the truly crazy people,
You can't lock up crazy people until after they've committed the crime.

Stop trying to control your smart devices solely through IFTTT.

Starting with the bananas, because it's Amazon.
Silicone-basted turkeys are also pretty common - at least if you prefer to use a brush for basting.
Are you suggesting that an Alexa bot would not be interested in Amazon news?

I bought my last TV about 5 years ago. And the best deal was about 2 weeks before Black Friday. At least $50 less than the Black Friday price.
By treating workers like garbage
And let me add "treating customers like garbage."
Most customers don't want to bail on Thanksgiving early just to go shopping - but will anyway and resent it. But that's when the sales have moved to. Move them back to Friday morning and both customers and workers are happier about the whole thing.
he said it had to be an iPad model because that's what her friend had.
Unless you want to be on the hook supporting it, go for the iPad and let her ask her friend for help. This is worth the extra money.
(around March) where we dress in costumes....and are religiously commanded to get drunk.
I thought that was an Irish Catholic holiday.
