Updated to latest and then blocked Apple update url with hosts so I don't see Tahoe notification on the Mac Pro 😀

If you want the Automatic Security responses you are blocking those as well, alas.
Two solutions:
time to time unblock it and let the security system to update
Or use a terminal command that @bogdanw shared

Code: (one line)

sudo defaults write /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileAsset.plist MobileAssetAssetAudience -string Go-Away-Tahoe

To revert/delete Go-Away-Tahoe, run
Code:

sudo defaults delete /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileAsset.plist MobileAssetAssetAudience

Appreciate that but im good.

This is a production machine, even tho I'm online a lot its mostly for work 🙂

Hosts works ok for me
 
My Studio was not seeing the 15.7.9 update, so I used the example @bogdanw posted in post #94, downloaded the .pkg, and installed 15.7.9. No issues so far.

My M4 Mac mini updated last night to v15.7.9 from v15.7.7 without issue. Did so through Software Update where it appeared, along with a dreaded update to v26.6 which I carefully avoided.

Well pooh! 🙂 That version did not pop up when using the Terminal command you listed in post 94. Perhaps I need to wait a day or so?

edit: 15.8 just showed up in General/Software Update. I am on the Sequoia Beta Channel.

Still RC2, I would wait.
 
Do we know if macOS 15.8 comes with the fixes for iCloud Private Relay? And for the screen sharing vulnerability?

They definitely did something with displays as 15.8 now cuts off the display when showing the screensaver and renegotiates the connection when an input is pressed and the SS dismissed. Previous behaviour was to fade the SS away nicely and restore the user's desktop.

Now it hiccups for a moment, stutters hard, then disconnects and reconnects the audio (connected to an OLED via HDMI) which means the audio plays through the TV while the screensaver is on, then moves over to the Mac as it "wakes the display" and then back to the TV. It's a mess.

Had one hard lock already where the Mac simply failed to output any signal whatsoever, so they are definitely working on something in regards to screen sharing. The betas are a gong show, just FYI.

All of that happens in a officially supported Mac? No OCLP?
 
Hey, has macOS 15.8 been released officially (no beta, no RC)? Like… final release?

If so, is the build number the same as the last RC, or has it gone up?
