No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

Is this what you are talking about? Yes.

BUT.

Can you turn it on?

New feature in Windows 11 2022.

As available as "full-self-driving-next-year". Planned for 23H2.

You have to be a "Windows insider" run beta-test version of windows, and set it up via .bat from github.

That being said, I am a "windows insider" and I do run their beta-test OS, and I still don't have that feature.

I'll believe it's released and tested, because the quality of my works directly depends on it.

It's also going to be available for 12th+ gen iGPUs only, which means that any laptop running a wider-gamut built-in-monitor with an older iGPU can get fucked.

I appreciate the 'gotcha' tone.

Hmm, fair.
There is also the colour profile system.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/about-color-management-2a2ed8fa-cf09-83c5-e55c-d1428519f616

I just tested it on my computer. Installed the "driver" for my monitor, which then loaded the correct profile for it (changing from the "generic PnP" driver/profile to one for my specific model).
It certainly changed the look of my monitor.
I'll have to test drive it a bit.

But I guess it's deeper than that, isn't it.
Like, if that sets the colour profile to sRGB, and I'm dealing with BT.2020... although that would be bonkers cause I don't think sRGB can represent BT.2020.

Color standards break my brain.
