With the recent demise of my 2011 MacBook Pro (the AMD gpu issue finally got me after over a decade of faithful service), I decided that attempting to flash the MUX (using DOSDUDE1's method), or attempting to disable the dGPU within the Recovery OS and relying on the iGPU for a sluggish experience wasn't going to be the way forward. ![]()
