and flashing stars were gone, but still seemed sluggish. Patched Sur for Mac relates to System Tools. this is also without the old micropatcher dependency, BenSova/Patched-Sur-Patches only. Sounded like a good idea, right?Ģ) So, I installed Norton antivirus for Mac OS and install went smooth no issues at all.ģ) Continued with the class and trading, etc.Ĥ) 6/1/21: Started my MBP and noticed tiny flashing "stars" on the stock Big Sur desktop after login.ĥ) During login, performance began to degrade and the flashing stars got worse every time I booted.Ħ) Finally I was left with just a white screen and a fragmented part of the stock Big Sur desktopġ) Removed the back, reseated all the connections including the display connection.Ģ) Rebooted and still had flashing stars and then the white screen after awhile.Ĥ) Reinstalled OS (El Capitan) but did not restore.

Earlier this week, I started having issues with my MB Pro Mid 2012.Ģ) Upgraded the hard drive with a Crucial SSD in March 2021ģ) Upgraded the RAM with "ifixit" RAM to 2x8GBĤ) Used BenSova/Patched-Sur to upgrade to Big Sur from Catalina (since my MBP is one of the unsupported laptops and the upgrade is not available without the patch)ĥ) For 2 solid months, my MBP was like a NEW computer, fast and snappy and I was quite happy!!!ġ) 5/27/21: I took a class on trading cryptocurrencies and one of the suggestions was to PROTECT your devices with some sort of anti-virus software before signing up with any trading exchanges, like coinbase, bitmart, etc.
