    This is one of those “this question half-belongs on the Early Intel Macs forum and half-belongs to a non-existent ‘all Intel Macs’ forum (and maybe a foot in the “iMac” forum)”: Earlier, I posted on the “What have you done with an Early Intel (Mac) recently” the use of the Intel Power Gadget...

    Cannot upgrade to Monterey with non-apple SSD was this fixed in 12.1?

    Cannot upgrade to Monterey with non-Apple SSD was this fixed in 12.1? There are a lot of us that upgraded the original SSD and don't have the original SSD to reinstall. Was this issue fixed in 12.1? Is there any workaround that works in 12.2? Apple are you also listening?

An older guide (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/guide-how-to-get-back-old-efi-after-downgrade-from-yosemite.1803934/) said to flash the .scap files using the bless command. The only problem?

    I bought a USB 3.0 (USB-A) to HDMI adapter but was too late to notice it wouldn't work with Mac - Windows only; as such my Mac simply won't recognize my Sony TV. Unfortunately a return is not possible due to the damaged package, so I thought since there's the Device Firmware Update mode which is...
