This perfectly aligns with what they did to the iMac lineup. They killed Target Display Mode, meaning you cannot use those excellent screens as simple external monitors once the compute hardware is outdated. Beautiful hardware is forced to gather dust or become e-waste strictly by design.
Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.
Without donor contact, these machines are useless. :(
I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.
