How they make it hard to fix this heater - videos.trom.tf/w/krjeSgmcz3HD6ā€¦

These motherfuckers put some weird screws on this electrical heater so you cannot open it unless you have a very specific screw driver. Absolutely criminal behavior. But I understand it. You have to trade in this world in order to survive and thrive, and so these tactics can create advantages for you: the heater breaks, people buy a new one. Done. More profit.

If we can't change the incentive we cannot change these behaviors.

Older VMs running 15.1 also seem affected now. Though I don't believe they were blocked previously. Seems they will update apps already installed from the App Store, just won't let me install ones not currently installed (even if already purchased). So at least I should be good for Xcode (though that could be installed outside of the App Store anyway probably).

Hmm, seems macOS now detects if it's running in a VM and blocks logging into Apple services. Can't download/update apps from the App Store anymore. Guess developing and testing in VMs is now a dead end.
