So that means you will never use that laptop on a network again?
- OJFord 6y agoNot parent but are you saying wiping it doesn't stop it phoning home to report Find My Mac location for the previous installation? That's.. entirely good I suppose, but would be news to me.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoIts more than that, You can't wipe it at all until you log in with the apple account it was connected to. Rendering a stolen laptop effectively bricked and only useful for parts.
- OJFord 6y agoIs that new with Big Sur? I wiped and reinstalled at the weekend (preparatory to upgrading) just by holding CMD+r on boot > disk utility > format.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoI think its any macbook that has a T2 chip which only came out somewhat recently I think.
- dylan604 6y agoThat's not necessarily true. There is a permanent vuln embedded in the T2 chip. If you have a locked laptop, getting past the lock is possible.
