    What can I do with my 2006 Core2Duo MBP?

    Clarification: 17" 2006 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.33gHz (I think) Tldr; my 2006 Core2Duo MBP is useless because MacOS patchers only work with 2007 and later macs. Could I replace the cpu with a newer one to 'convert' it into a 2008 MBP? Alternatively, are there any web browsers that allow me...

    The external webcam on my 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is not working at the moment. Just displays black. It's a long story, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. As you know, in order to upgrade to Mojave on this unsupported Mac, you need to run a patcher. I went through the process and installed...

    List of Apple Arcade games which work on non-metal Macs

    I decided to test out and try to document which Apple Arcade games work on early Intel, non-Metal Macs running Catalina unofficially. For some reason, not all games are made for the Metal API, which means that some work surprisingly well. Some also used to work, but no longer do (Crossy Road...

I'm assuming this is an effect of having to patch the video card drivers in the Mojave patcher, though I could just be misremembering it from also...
