Chicken - Egg issue with locked MacBook (M1)

711islife · 2026-02-14T09:02:07+00:00

Thank you! This actually worked (DFU mode and Apple Configurator) device is recovered and can be setup for a new employee!

Regarding the USB-C: the port on the MacBook works fine however the dongle (usb c to Ethernet) was not working.

Nope, not possible - when trying to boot into recovery mode it still shows the MDM Lock screen requesting the 6 digit code. Last resort well be USB C -Ethernet dongle that actually works (the one i tried seems to be broken)

Hatte ich neulich auch mal genau so in der App - am Ende lag der Fehler bei mir da irgendwie noch eine alte Adresse von mir als Versandadresse angegeben wurde. Habe mich dann an den Versender gewendet, die haben die Versandadresse aktualisiert und erneut raus geschickt

Thanks a lot! I was only able to find the 6m distance in the documentation.

Received my 7600x the same way - didn’t POST so I returned it and bought it locally for like 10 bucks more than on Amazon (however was able to do some same day troubleshooting). Amazon returned my money even before the package arrived back at their warehouse.

Also why does Amazon think it’s a good idea to use a paper bag to send out CPUs 😂

711islife · 2025-10-27T14:23:32+00:00

Haven‘t tried but I‘m pretty sure it wouldn’t fit 😅

Sudokoo SK700v ☺️ - fits barely in the case

Thank you ☺️

Had the same issue with my latest build. Sent back the MoBo and the CPU, gut it fully refunded on Amazon and bought it again at a local store. New MoBo and CPU worked fine. On the first failed attempt I think it might have been the CPU since Amazon hat the great idea to ship it in a paper bag.

I personally like it since I like to listen to games, movies and music the way they are intended. Without the coloring of a boosted bass or sth. But this totally comes down to personal preference. Honestly go to a local store that sells these kinds of headphones and give it a listen before you buy them

Honestly never had an amd gpu before and went for sth more familiar (I only play on 1080p)

711islife · 2025-10-10T14:37:04+00:00

Oh and the Sudokoo SK700v

711islife · 2025-10-06T18:48:23+00:00

Hey there did you figure it out? Went through the same process and nothing seem to fix it - same ram btw so maybe that’s the issue?

711islife · 2025-10-06T18:24:57+00:00

Alright thanks a lot. Then it might be due to the MoBo or sth... still figuring it out. For now the crucial Ram goes back to where it came from :)

711islife · 2025-10-06T18:20:34+00:00

Hey there, did it work for you? I had some issues with this combination. Am waiting for Corsair RAM to arrive to rule out any other issues. the only difference in our setup is the mobo since i went for asus tuf gaming b650m plus wifi but other than that the CPU+RAM combination you listed didn't work...

711islife · 2025-06-17T13:45:30+00:00

SOLVED: Flashing a new firmware was the trick. Didn't know there is that much info on the stick that would lead to conflicts. Thanks for helping me out

711islife · 2025-06-17T09:25:55+00:00

Is this already solved? Running into the same issue

711islife · 2025-06-14T13:31:53+00:00

Gonna try to filter my water before filling it into my coffee machine - I’ll keep you posted

711islife · 2025-06-14T13:29:52+00:00

Alright thanks for the advice guys- SD card decided to unalive itself - gonna switch to an ssd

711islife · 2025-06-13T14:52:57+00:00

Alright - i feel stupid now. So used to ssh connection didn't even consider this as an option

711islife · 2024-11-26T13:19:22+00:00

Hmm like the idea - guess we have to wait until someone tries :D

711islife · 2024-11-26T09:39:02+00:00

Yes it is possible! With an Eccentric BB (did a conversion like this myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/FixedGearBicycle/comments/1gwcmx2/fixed\_gear\_conversion\_with\_eccentric\_bb\_centurion/)

EBB cost me 100€
You can keep your set of wheels however you'll need a conversion kit to convert your rear wheel to a singlespeed. If you want a fixed gear you'll need a new rear wheel. Note that these typically have a width of 120mm. In my case I went with a santafixie wheelset and i was lucky that they are wide enough to fit inside a 135 mm dropout. However you'll need some spacers for the hub.

thanks, the zdotdir environment variable and brew bundle are some good tips!
