About My Mac

What's Working/What's Not

Working
  • Ethernet
  • Audio (including digital audio)
  • APFS
  • Sleep/Wake
  • Headless iGPU with native support for Quicklook and Preview, and Final Cut Pro X.
  • All USB ports (USB 3 speed working)

Not Working
  • iGFX HDMI output during install. Common problem, nobody seems to have found a solution. But I don't need it.
  • Built-in wifi. This will likely never work since it is the new Intel CNVi that MacOS doesn't support.
  • Onboard Bluetooth is hit or miss. However, I disabled it (HS14) because I have a natively supported Broadcom BCM94360CS2 WIFI/BT adapter.
  • Netflix DRM in Safari (works in Chrome)
  • DRM-protected video in iTunes (ie: purchased TV shows)
Not Yet Tested
  • FileVault
