Using OCPL (and Dortania ) since 2016, using older Intel macbook pro when I was in the Maldives. Now using Imac Intel from 2009 in a daily basis for light work online, Zoom (with a green screen) and external hard drive, since last year I had more and more problem with heat disipation, do today I went for the hard choices. Upgrade to NVME hard drive and Cooling solution....by drilling Hiles for the fan and extra Holes near the copper on the back of the DVD drive. Here the Temp where around the 70C to high 90C, but, now 40 TO 60C MOST OF THE TIME WITHOUT AC IN THE ROOM. I LIVE IN JAPAN NOW, SMALL 1LDK AND AC IS EXPENSIVE. Thanks to all of you for helping people like me on a tight budget!!!
Thank You

Is there any way left to hide the Sequoia update from software updates under Sonoma? I'd like to get rid of the system settings badge, and have it stop saying updates are ready to install, when it's only referring to the macOS upgrade to Sequoia that I don't want. Thankfully it hasn't tried to force install it.

The following all at your own risk:

In terminal type:

sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Sequoia"

Or something along this line…

If that doesn’t work, you could still try:

sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app

If you know how to edit a configuration file you could play around with the .mobileconfig

No risk, no fun! :)
