Works for macOS Sierra and High Sierra

Taken from 2011 Macbook Pro Graphics Card FIX 100% WORKING!!!

EDIT This method works! But there is an improved version for better thermal management and brightness keys functionality. See improved version -> https://gist.github.com/cdleon/d1eff7246a25193304284ecec40445b0

Enter Recovery Mode (text mode)

if you are on high sierra 10.13.6+ you might need to use Command + r instead

Boot up holding down Command + r + s

void glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLuint attribIndex);
void glDisableVertexAttribArray(GLuint attribIndex);
void glVertexAttribPointer(GLuint attribIndex, GLint size, GLenum type, GLboolean normalized, GLsizei stride, const GLvoid * pointer);
void glVertexAttribFormat(GLuint attribIndex, GLint size, GLenum type, GLboolean normalized, GLuint relativeoffset);
void glVertexAttribBinding(GLuint attribIndex, GLuint bindingIndex);
void glBindVertexBuffer(GLuint bindingIndex, GLuint buffer, GLintptr offset, GLintptr stride);

parameter	Details
attribIndex	the location for the vertex attribute to which the vertex array will feed data

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.
