Those places are still in the 50s. With more Dollar Generals.

Not everywhere. Cincinnati you’re lucky to find something nice for $350k.

They’d probably be in an Apple Business Manager instance (or the proprietary internal Apple equivalent) so I bet so. Back in the day they used Jamf for back of house. Not sure about now.

Yeah I was surprised but not shocked. Very clever.

Interesting. Such is the joy of open ancient mechanics under the hood. Recently had to add SSO to our ADE enrollment after a security researcher spoofed serial numbers in a VM and was able to enroll his Mac into our MDM.

So it's interesting... it sorta works with SIP disabled using tricks from some Reddit posts but with the IP addresses blocked, no software updates working from Apple after that. Unblocking the 17.x IP space immediately prompted me for enrollment.

Guessing it checks for ABM by serial number at the point of software updates? Spoofing the serial number would be an interesting exercise in that case, but that's burnt onto the logic board (though that would likely work in a VM).

So yeah for a 14.5 Sonoma Mac it worked, but for a 15.0b2 Sequoia Mac, no luck. I assume they rewrote that.

Yeah sorry, internal Apple name for Setup Assistant. I'm going to try it.

How do you bypass Macbuddy?

I bought some new video games. We’re going into a 2nd Trump presidency if Biden continues to run. If they change the candidate I’ll pay more attention.

Speaking as the system engineer who takes care of the 6000 Macs and Linux devices… I let the Windows guys go first… they get to explain the constant mess. And usually Microsoft is so fucked up there’s no time for me and the bosses just ask for emailed slides they never comment on 😉

Reality is the craziest Trump supporters can barely afford to travel.

That was possible on Intel Macs by pulling the Internet but anything Intel with T2 or Apple silicon requires a network connection to start it up.

You can wipe out the Jamf lock with a DFU mode restore but if it comes right back to ADE anyway, they lose.

If Biden even steps aside, which I doubt, it’s going to be Kamala. Only Reddit and Michigan even know who Whitmer is. Gavin is a $700 California haircut who would lose in the swings.
