Big Sur - Disable Infrared (IR) support

Information

Infrared (IR) support _MUST_ be disabled to prevent users from controlling the system with IR devices.

By default, if IR is enabled, the system will accept IR control from any remote device.

NOTE: This is applicable only to models of Mac Mini systems earlier than Mac Mini8,1.

Solution

This is implemented by a Configuration Profile.
