@arcade Did you know that #Apple in their very finite wisdom decided to not put their #AEFI / #BridgeOS on a seperate flash but instead shove it onto proprietary flash chips so if your soldered-in SSD dies - and it will inevitably die over use and time - you can't even make the thing boot off an external drive as it's braindead.
Also good luck trying to crack Apple's #CensorBoot and finding a way to write new #firmware to those chips which you can't buy anywhere legally!

@thememesniper and I though soldered-down SSDs made up of proprietary Flash Chips that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME and thurn the device into a brick when it does because the #Apple #AEFI aka. #BridgeOS is also on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS!

So one can't even reuse the device woth a #Linux on a #USB Flashdrive like a Store&Stay - alike dongle that basically ends up flush and doesn't break off easily.

I have a problem with my work #MBP crashing when being connected to a monitor from sleep. I looked at the error report and noticed:

> Darwin Kernel Version 22.3.0: Thu Jan 5 20:17:53 PST 2023; root:xnu-8792.81.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8010

Curious, this is an Intel Mac, why is it saying ARM64…
Turns out it's the #bridgeOS in the #TouchBar that is crashing and it's taking down the entire computer. 😐 So not only is the touch bar user hostile, it's now also leading to panics of the entire machine.

Why is my Mac’s firmware version wrong, and what to do about it?
