Welcome to Apple. Where you don't own the device, and Tim knows better. It was a brave decision to lock hardware. It was a bold decision to make it where the end user had to go back to Apple to pay double for a part.
I'm well aware. Been a user for a long time. It's just these little frustrating things that pop up every once in a while. The really stupid thing about it is while I couldn't do a fresh install, it let me restore a backup. Of the same OS that wouldn't install. Sigh.

It's even worse in the new Mac studio, from what I hear. They've apparently locked the flash module (I don't think you can even call it an ssd, as there no controller on it) to the system via firmware. You can't even add more space by dropping in an oem apple part...
Yeah. That's just bonkers.

There's a reason I don't play in their playground. I might have opinions
I definitely don't have all my eggs in that basket. Phone is Android, laptop, desktop, and work machine are Windows. But. The kids have iPads, Plex is run on a Mac, and I have the two Mac Mini's in the house.

So my X decided that all the money I had been saving for a titan swap should go somewhere else... Dropped a cylinder on the last weekend trip. I just gave her a wash and some nice new synthetic oil too.... :( Anyone know a good used motor outlet?
Sucks man. Try craigslist. look at the one in your area and search for Xterra engine to see if anyones installing "JDM" engines for a deal. theres a guy here in dallas that does pretty reasonably.

I mean, who _wouldn't_ have a second Mac. Or an os iso on a flash drive?
I used to order 2 Big Mac's when eating McHealth food but now prefer 1 Big Mac and a Filet o fish with a small fry and choco shake !!
As for being flashed in the Drive thru ; I'll pass ! At least at the Micky D'a near my house . o_O

Check car-part.com Found a used vq35 for the Pathfinder for about 1/2 what the dealer found. Actual yard was in GP. Delivered it to Tyler too. Only issue was a bent oil pan and a bent coolant tube.
