   Fucking piece of shit
   
   I'll probably have to install fucking Linux to the USB stick to solve this issue

     This is why I do a https://clonezilla.org/ burn it into a bd-r and then restore from the bd-r on a second storage.

     @mangeurdenuage You sure you worked with newer Macs? As far as I'm aware, they've done weird fucking shit with their systems and you cannot just do it, you need specialized software for a while
     
     And those specialized Mac software have been also fucked over IIRC. You cannot clone a system anymore

     I haven't touched a mac since 2012 sadly.

     There is a way but you need to desolder the bga nand chips...only ultra autists like me would do it.

     @coolboymew My last ever Mac purchase, I had tons of trouble wiping the drive to install a different OS. It was as if their boot firmware actively tried to prevent it. Anyways, I struggled to find the magic combination of peripherals to be able to do what I wanted.

     In the end I needed a special keyboard. For some reason my other keyboard did not work for inputting the key commands for accessing the BIOS???

     Such a pain in the ass, never again.

     @BitBun the problem is that APFS does something weird to the drive and Disk Utility is legitimately a piece of shit. It somehow detect the drive and shows it to you how it wants you to see it instead of actually showing the drive. So basically, you end up with two drives in an incompatible version, one you can wipe and another you can't. You wipe the one you can and try to install but... error. All because the thing is misdesigned. On purpose, probably
     
     Otherwise you get the same issue if you did split the drive for the built in Windows installer. If you wipe the Mac without removing the Windows partition, Disk Utility actually has 0 ways to recover the Windows partition?????? It did in the bootcamp menu, but you wiped the mac partition!
     
     It's stupid

     If you want to use an apple watch, you need an iOS device, and by the way all the android watches suck harder because Google can't do shit coherently.

     @coolboymew @PurpCat I used to be an app developer (years ago now), and no - you need a legit Mac to sign the final binary. Not sure if it's changed since then, but it was a big annoyance for our build system.

     I’ve previously used: https://www.macincloud.com/

     And then just legitimately register any freaking iOS device of any rando on your developer account (don’t even need your account on the device at all), and that’s all Apple cares about. You don’t even need to actually test the app on any iOS device first, just have a device listed on the account. There’s so much that’s so patently ridiculous of policy/procedure of publishing anything to any Apple platform.

     Nonetheless, this is +7 year old advice, as I don’t know how much it’s changed since then (other than not requiring $100/year anymore for the ‘privilege’ of developing for iOS).

     @arcanicanis @PurpCat @coolboymew lol that takes me back. We had a few blessed devices with a dev-cert to produce builds on. I recall that BS $100 fee, good to hear it's apparently not a thing any more.
