   Fuck you Apple
   
   I suspect some weird internal firmware shenanigan making this fails
   
   I found another USB, an actual USB, that seems to actually want to put Ventura inside. Jesus christ

     @coolboymew@shitposter.club I tried to install Linux on an old family member's MacBook they were otherwise going to throw away. Could get it to boot from the USB into a live environment but could never get it to install into the drive. Installation failed, fucked up the macOS install, and of course there's no way to install macOS---no downloadable ISO or anything. No way of breaking the system via BIOS or whatever, either, just a gray screen with an unhappy-face Mac logo. I hate Apple so fucking much.

     @adiz You basically have to use the macadmin script to be able to download past version of MacOS, because Apple won't provide them to you. That's why I have a collection of them, because you can get fucked if you don't collect them
     
     If not, there's always the emergency boot, but as pointed out, the APFS upgrade and probably other firmware upgrades might fuck up older MacOS from actually installing from said network emergency install
     
     Spectacular

     @coolboymew@shitposter.club On any other computer I can just install a different OS without fuss and troubleshoot by going through the BIOS and viewing/modifying system settings as necessary. Apple devices not so. People who buy Apple products don't own their devices, rather they essentially "lease" the machines from Apple since Apple doesn't allow their customers to do whatever their customers want to do with the devices their customers ostensibly "own".
