osx-serial-generator VS Hot

easy way to find a valid number is too generate tons and verify them one by one on the apple website as said into the previous link of point 11 use this to generate: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator

You serial HAS to be invalid. There are some criteria that you should follow (it's only partially random), but all of the guides warn you that your generated serial should always result as invalid for Apple: otherwise it'd mean you just generated someone else's serial by accident. If you don't want to do it manually or following the standard guides, there are open source, safe utilities to generate one: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator . I can assure you that getting iServices to work is fairly easy, nowadays.

Here you go: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator and you also need Open Core Configurator or similar software to mount the hidden efi partition

I'm using this script to build the VMs, applying serial numbers and HW model generated with this script. The guests enroll over the hosts VPN and once they get the config profile installing machine certs I can get them on VPN directly, enroll, and start testing.

The code is relatively easy to read if you want to see: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/blob/master/generate-unique-machine-values.sh

iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.

I'm using Hot: https://github.com/macmade/Hot

Use https://github.com/macmade/Hot to read temps instead. I don’t trust cleanmymac.

The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.
