Mac minis out of stock because of OpenClaw? Nah if they are actually out of stock (I've only seen it out of stock at exceptional Microcenter prices; Apple is more than happy to sell you at full price) it is because there's a trans

What I meant is, if you can somehow get it working, it is not currently a supported first-party thing, not that I am aware of such thing existing.

Well, the risk there is slightly higher as you are assuming rescue partition does not have an exploit planted? Empirically, we've had iOS jailbreaks that exploited higher level kernel, but not bootrom. That said I do it because DFU has

> [EDIT:] I looked around, but unfortunately I don't appear to have the proper cable to perform a DFU test. In fact I usually need to use some damn dongle just to connect to USB-C. FYI, USB-3.0 C-to-A dongle + USB-3.0 A-to-C cable d

It's not a mockery—that is precisely at the core of scientific method . Theory makes predictions (logical implications), and if you empirically find contradictory evidence, the theory is proven incorrect.

I have tested DFU restore on multiple Mac models including MacBook Air {M1, M2, M3, M4}, MacBook Pros {M1 Pro, M1 Max, M3 Max, M4, M4 Max}, Mac mini {M1, M4}, Mac Studio {M1 Max, M3 Ultra} off the top of my head (at least a bunch of older I

One can logically disprove a theory without providing an alternative theory: reductio ad absurdum .

> You don't present any alternative theory for the behavior, just assert that I'm wrong. Not the GP, but it is easy to refute your theory. Just do a DFU with the port indicated by Apple and it works per Apple instructions. I ha

Sure, it is a personal experience, but no, you cannot gaslight me out of my personal experience by citing your superior knowledge of Middle English. The existence of such construct is not germane here. Forcing people to use the language

Fair enough. I now see the connection (i.e. separate from DFU process another doc excludes DFU designated port from participating in your process.) Regardless the documentation is 100% correct re which port is DFU port. If your process fail

Not sure, maybe there are other ways to achieve that (instinctively, I think the attack surface is much larger in your solution as it relies on the correctness of recoveryOS, not just bootrom/iBoot), but DFU would be easiest/safes

The author is assuming Metal is compiled to ANE in MLX. MLX is by-and-large GPU-based and not utilizing ANE, barring some community hacks.

No LLM entirely organic. (If you are talking about referring to the author as "they," that is impact to my head from working at woke workplaces.)

I am reading the post again. It does appear the author is not fully aware what DFU is supposed to do. They are talking about "storage devices" in that context, which is a total misread--their interpretation of DFU seems to be some

I have dealt with M1 Max and M4 Max MacBook Pros DFU mode many times[1], and the documentation is accurate. The primary DFU port is definitely what Apple says. I don't know, other ports may or may not exhibit DFU-like capabilities also

There's a widely popular Shah who is ready to take the helm, at least for a "transition" and that's what the majority seems to want in the protests. I'm certain given enough enticement from United States, we can eas

Really? You are advocating regional/civil war, aligned with ethnic ties at that, instead of surgical regime change by the US? How would a regime change of the Mullahs equate to "redrawing borders?" No such thing happened when

Everything is about self-interest. That does not mean there is no such thing as aligning interests.

Yes, it is all relative. It is appeasement compared to war and much heavier sanctions that ended up being necessary. Clinton and even Bush II administrations were hoping internal change would come up during Khatami era and hoping for him to
