Getting mac prohibitory symbol when trying to boot without USB
It's a red flag that GUID_partition_scheme is not displayed under Type on diskutil list for my Ventura install (but it's displayed in Disk Utility, I can see GUID Partition Map on Device Information => Scheme for Ventura partition). The EFI partition is also not displayed in my Ventura partition on diskutil list, which is weird, because I'm able to use Mount EFI on it.

Intel i3 8100 & UHD 630 | macOS Monterey
Once I added the "BlueToolFixup.kext" in the EFI folder (using MountEFI: https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI), it was time to update from macOS Catalina to Monterey. The update process was successful, and after disabling SIP (as instructed by chris1111 -author of Wireless-USB-BigSur-Adapter-.), everything worked fine.

Use tools like Mount EFI script or what you prefer.

You need to mount your EFI partition (find a tool online or use command line). In it you should find "EFI/OC/config.plist". Open the file with Propertree or another plist editor and make the changes.

How to change CPU name on mbp 14” M1 Pro?
Hey so I have a mac and I would like to change cpu name to “unknown” or smth similar, this is so that whoever is using this particular mac when I lend it can’t find out what cpu it is having, as I won’t really like to disclose it for personal reasons. How do I go about this? I found this thing on github. Does it work for the latest macos? Really need help on this one.

Next "issue" needed to be fixed (more for eye candy puproses) was the CPU name fix as it reported as "Unknown" in About This Mac panel. For this i used CPUName script to edit the plist for me. Link for CPUName : https://github.com/corpnewt/CPU-Name
