MP 7,1 Mac Pro T2 chip concerns

[goMac]

At this moment, T2 chips sometimes blocking certain USB driver from loading in OS. When checking logs, it would show T2 interferes error log on my 2018 15 inch MBP . On older Mac Pro which doesn’t have T2 chips, they loaded just fine. So T2 was real culprit in my case. Those happened on Wacom USB driver, Logitech and USB Overdrive. T2 is also not playing nice with ESXi unless with some workarounds.

No problems with the Wacom and Logitech USB drivers on a 2019 T2 Mac Pro here.

T2 doesn't do anything to block Kexts. It sounds like a different issue.

That said, the rest of the machine (outside Catalina problems) is pretty nice.

(i.e.) the IO board works really well!

Apple is trying I believe to shut down "H-ackintosh" and "right to repair".

Considering Apple’s lack of action on the Hackintosh front, it doesn’t seem like they care.

If they did, they would be demanding the countless Hackintosh videos on YT be taken down

I get the feeling Apple approach them similar to how Microsoft does Windows piracy, those that will buy the real thing will when they can, and those that don’t likely never would in the first place, so it’s not a lost sale.

I’ve had many MacBook Pros over the years, but my desktop has been a Hackintosh as I couldn’t afford the options Apple had available, nor were they quite what I wanted anyway.

This week I ordered my 16-core 7,1 to finally replace it after 2.5 years.
