MAS-76 'bricked' the machine? if you just mean rendering the operating-system inoperable having a backup of the kext directory thats restored in single-user mode and clearing the kext-cache should get you going again.

sadly the steps for this can vary on the operating-system version. the internet is your friend.

      axel No. You can't imagine how easy is the solution 🙂

      It is not display settings and direct kext level manipulations.

      Sorry, but I cannot reveal this information right now for some reasons.

      Probably, I will do it in three months.

          ryans Not exactly. But it would be interesting to hear your idea.

              NewDwarf

              Why keep it a secret?

              Can you at least tell us whether it gave you positive results?

                  NewDwarf I will definitely share it soon but currently I keep it private.

                  Will greatly appreciate anything you could share when you are comfortable doing so.

                  Note that ditherig is open-source but unfortunately only runs on Windows. It seems Apple new devices is using Apple ARM silicon but working Intel is still very useful.

                  Glad you got positive results, that's great!

                  NewDwarf By reversing the Intel driver.

                  That's awesome -- with IDA or something similar?

                        ryans Totally different approach in the macOS Intel driver.

                        Yes, I reversed it by the IDA Pro.

                            henno No. It will be absolutely free. But there are some obstacles to share it right now.

                                So do a documented clean-room approach if this requires code. One person who knows the details explains the general details to the other programmer without showing code or anything, and this should be cleanly documented and ideally, all code should be in a repo to show that it was organically grown.

                                  NewDwarf what changes in 3 month?

                                  think some people really need to calm down and stop the censorship comparable to bloody dictators

                                  as determined by several recent court cases reverse engineering of legitimately obtained software to correct issues is de-facto legal.

                                  you own a mac there is your legitimately obtained macos.

                                  also apple has left the hackintosh scene alone only getting upset when people distribute copyrighted installer images or sell premade hackintosh systems

                                  you are allowed to make install images from an existing mac system and selling a computer that could run macos is not illegal

                                  distributing complete fixes can sound like a challenge but methods of binary patching can be done that do not involve the distribution of any items of copyright.

                                  please pm or email and we can talk in private

                                    Sunspark how do you think people discover 'secret' properties or undocumented features of macos?

                                    not through brute force or lucky guessing. :-)

                                      ryans BTW, do you have reverse engineering skills? The solution to disable dithering is so elegant, so you will wonder you still don't have it.

                                      No need to dig any tools any source code. Just only one string!!!

                                          NewDwarf I don't own any Apple device currently, unfortunately. I played around with IDA a few years ago, but I just wasn't into learning x86 assembly. To fix this miserable eye strain issue I would learn anything though! I did go to school for CS but we studied a much simpler MIPS assembly. Any tips to get started 😉?

                                          Out of curiosity do you think your solution would for Linux?

                                              NewDwarf elegant solution you say? could it be feature string in the driver? :-)

                                              if you certain it work why not describe it here? describing facts is legal and surely someone else with knowledge will find it from that.
