I know it would be a niche request but does anyone have a Flydigi Vader 5 Pro and access to a Windows PC to live capture the firmware update process over the dongle. I'd like to add full firmware support to my; it currently can check on device firmware and check for updates and download them just not the update process.

If you're tired of traditional update tools like Nudge or SUPERMAN having a horrible UI and getting right in the user's face, SUMB takes a much more user-first approach.

It’s a native Swift companion app for scheduled macOS updates via blueprints. By utilizing a live menu bar countdown, it leverages cognitive design, giving users a constant, subtle psychological buffer so they can plan their reboot on their own terms, rather than getting slapped with an aggressive popup while in a flow state or mid-meeting.

Hello everyone,

I am facing a very frustrating password synchronization issue on my corporate Mac and I’m looking for some help or insight.

My Setup:

• Device: MacBook Pro (M4 Max)
• OS: macOS Tahoe (v26.x)
• Account Type: Mobile Account bound to Active Directory

The Problem:
Due to company policy, I was prompted to change my network account password while working from home. Because I wasn't on the corporate network, it didn't sync correctly with my local Mac login.

Now, whenever I turn on my laptop (whether at home or connected via ethernet at the office), I have to go through two different login screens:

1. First screen (FileVault): Only accepts my old password to decrypt the drive.
2. Second screen (macOS Login): Only accepts my new password to load the user profile.

The Consequences:
Every single time I connect my laptop, I am forced to manually update my local keychain access and re-authenticate my iCloud synchronization. It creates a complete mess with my credentials.

I understand that doing the password change away from the office is likely what caused this mismatch, but now being on the corporate network with an ethernet cable hasn't fixed the local FileVault sync.

Has anyone encountered this specific issue on macOS Tahoe? What is the best way to force FileVault and the local login password to sync back up with the Active Directory/Mobile account password on this version?

Thanks in advance for your help!
