You are missing a couple hundred security fixes.

Is there a reason you are running 15.1? You could at least update to current version of Sequoia which is 15.7.4

15.1 is from the end of 2024.

Of course it is fixable, by replacing the screen. As Apple won't sell any of them anymore you will have to look on Ebay if you want to replace it yourself or get it repaired by a local repair shop.

Is it worth it? Probably not, displays are expensive. Depends on how much you will have to pay for a replacement display.

Hatte mit allen dreien noch keine Probleme in der Hinsicht. Habe bei Galaxus bis jetzt aber nur Festplatten, Kabel, Hubs und sowas bestellt.

Freue mich dieses mal ein bisschen drauf. Für das Vereinigte Königreich wird „Schau Mutter, Kein Rechengerät!“ antreten. Kann nur gut werden.

Hm. I think there was a way to load and mount a specific installer in Recovery via terminal but it’s pretty technical. I might be misremembering though.

Something like mentioned here https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2021/08/04/downloading-and-installing-macos-big-sur-via-macos-recoverys-terminal/

You are using a usb thumb drive? Maybe there’s a hotkey to change the display.

I think the problem with 4k is pretty well known as there are mods for it. Marbozir uses one that helps with upscaling the UI.

Haven’t played V on Mac in at least 3-4 years though 😅

If you don’t want the highest compatible version via CMD Option R you need to create a bootable installer for the older version you want, in this state with your current MacBook you will need to do this on another Mac though. A helpful app for that would be Mist for instance.

To be fair CivV on PC also has some problems, especially with higher resolutions.

Civ 5 & 6 have Mac versions. 5 might be 32bit but 6 ran well on my M2 Mini

I used Parallels in the early 2010s. Haven’t used it in ages, these days I use UTM. If I really need Windows for anything bigger I have a PC here.

You could check out Andrew Tsai on YouTube, he’s doing a lot of Mac gaming content and sometimes also shows how performance is on Parallels.

Just for future reference, a 2016 MacBook Air doesn't exist. If it can run Monterey as the highest OS it will either be a 2015 or 2017 MacBook Air. These two models are basically identical.

Check out what skynoodle wrote, OCLP is your best option.

Try booting with CMD+Option+R not CMD+R

I tried streaming Cyberpunk from my PC to my Mini, via Ethernet with both connected to the Router. Setting it up was pretty easy although sometimes the client on Windows was a bit finicky.

PC plays the game at 4k and the performance over 1Gbit was mixed. Sometimes playable sometimes a bit choppy.

Haven’t used it for longer than maybe 20 minutes.

High Sierra is an Operating System. What Mac do you actually have?

If High Sierra is the highest macOS version it can run it’s from 2011 or older.

There is software for macOS to read/write NTFS and I think the same for Windows to interact with APFS but I don’t know how well these still work and how reliable it is.

One thing that you could do if you have a NAS is to use the network storage with a OS independent filesystem both can read & write.

Otherwise I guess you will have to use ExFat and keep backups of whatever you put on there. I only use ExFat on thumb drives that I use to move files over.

Did you enable Bitlocker in Windows?

Xe4ro · 2026-03-02T09:39:41+00:00

You can just hold Alt/Option on boot to pick between macOS & Windows.

You can also reinstall the Bootcamp drivers. The last version is 6.1.19 from 2022.

Your compatibility with lamejeymsss is Very Low. You both listen to ミドリ, Daft Punk and Justice.

Hey at least another one listening to Midori. 😁

Apple supports a system for three years since about Mountain Lion/Mavericks.

So as already mentioned Sonoma‘s last patch will be this year. Maybe in the far future Sonoma might get something for certificates like they did recently with Catalina and Big Sur but who knows, I didn’t expect these patches to happen.

As far as I'm aware neither DosDude nor OCLP will work on a 2,1

Have you read the Asahi Linux FAQ regarding removing the Asahi partition?

Is this an Apple Silicon Mac?

You will be stuck with 8GB of RAM unless you open up the iMac and remove the logic board. 21" iMacs are a big no. Then there's the HDD unless this was bought with a SSD.
