A comment on Upgrading an M4 Pro Mac mini's storage for half the price. Parent comment

It is mindboggling simple to override Apple MDM and device enrollment for MBPs. In a manner that is one and done, survives upgrades etc.

Two minutes or less, 4 DNS entries.

I'm a lot less convinced than you are of the hardiness of Apple's security.

To be fair, the parent comment did qualify their uncertainty four whole times:

1) "I'm not a security researcher" (ethos; repeal to authority)

2) "I get" (pathos; personal opinion)

3) "distinct impression" (pathos; emotional appeal)

4) "good enough" (logos; implies security is immeasurable/infeasible to prove)

Now, I wouldn't get caught dead endorsing a company that I have to write so many excuses for. But they did warn you!
