Hello Kids. I have found that starting in OS 14.7 update as well as OS 15 on intel macs apple has implemented an off disk security patch that has to run before the bootable hard drive allows you to access the recovery options. It used to boot completely off the external hard drive you made from this article and deployed the efi, firmware update off the hard drive but Apple seemed to have taken this off the current external install image. So even if you have security set to OFF and allow external drives boot to ON in recovery prior to using your disk once the external disk is chosen in the boot picker, it will still boot to internet recovery to get the security update and run prior to allowing you to boot a second time successfully onto the external drive for install. They must have decided to keep this update close by making it server side accessible only instead of supplying it on the disk image. We image dozens of machines a day and it has added another 10 minutes to our workflow for each machine. As for Apple Silicon machine I have not confirmed this behavior since we just drop an ispw file onto the newer macs in Apple Configuratior and it's done it under 10 minutes. 

Can anyone tell me why Apple has never given the iPhone access to a built in call attendant? A simple press 1 to continue would block 99% of the daily spam calls and not send them to voicemail. For a privacy based company I would have thought this would be a no brainer. Instead you have to forward your number to a call attendant service and pay a subscription in order to add this feature to your phone. Please dont suggest Google Voice. I dont want to give up all that personal data.
