18:45:40 <K> and what do we do now?
18:46:36 <Halcyon> I think I just improved my Creme Brulee recipe
18:46:56 <K> creme burlesque
18:47:17 <Halcyon> Just about
18:47:25 <Halcyon> I'm just wondering if it's too much.... Hmm
18:49:41 <T3sl4> mmm
18:50:57 <Halcyon> I added raspberry
18:51:00 <Halcyon> And lime
18:54:02 <Lemon> ok guys
18:54:09 <Lemon> time to crack my fathers mackbook pro
18:54:25 <Lemon> theres many pictures we want to get on it
18:54:50 <Lemon> I remember he said he removed every passwords before he passed away but sadly, not on the mbp
18:55:04 <Lemon> anybody here is familiar with macos
18:55:05 <Lemon> ?
18:55:06 <Halcyon> I hope it's not a T2 model
18:55:17 <Lemon> how can I determine that ?
18:55:21 <Lemon> its a mbp 15
18:55:39 <Halcyon> What's the model number on the base of the unit? Looks like Axxxx
18:56:06 <Lemon> its been sleeping in a closet for 2 years, its sad for such a device. Yday I also revived his iphone X and gave my SE to my mother, as her 4s battery popped yday
18:56:09 <Lemon> lemme take a look
18:56:40 * T3sl4 pours Lemon a nice big breakfast bowl of Mac-O's
18:56:45 <Halcyon> T2 macs started in 2017... ish if memory serves me right
18:56:53 <Lemon> A1398
18:57:07 <Lemon> im fairly sure its a 2015 model
18:57:13 <Halcyon> Oh perfect
18:57:18 <Halcyon> It's non-T2
18:57:27 <Halcyon> Which means you can break the encryption (if it was turned on)
18:57:39 <Halcyon> If it was T2, without the user password, you're stuffed
18:57:59 <Lemon> well its at a state where it requires the user password
18:58:06 <Halcyon> I think those had removable drives too, before Apple in their wisdom started to solder them on
18:58:09 <Lemon> do you have any guidlines I could follow ?
18:58:15 <Lemon> yes I think so
18:58:22 <Halcyon> Password is unknown I assume?
18:58:24 <Lemon> my father took this one knowingly it was one of the best models
18:58:28 <Lemon> yes sadly
18:58:32 <Lemon> we spent time trying tons
18:59:14 <Halcyon> You have two options.... pull the bottom cover and see if you can remove the hard disk. If it's an SSD, Apple used proprietary pinouts so you need a specific adapter.
18:59:42 <Lemon> and what is the other option ?
18:59:52 <Halcyon> Alternatively, you can hold the T button on the keyboard while powering on, to go into Target Disk Mode.
19:00:15 <Halcyon> That essentially turns it into a giant firewire/lightning/USB thumb drive (on newer models)
19:00:33 <Lemon> hmmm ok I see
19:00:38 <Lemon> question, that might be dumb
19:00:47 <Halcyon> Of course you would need to connect it to a host that can read HFS partitions
19:00:53 <Lemon> ho nvm its an azerty kb
19:01:21 <Lemon> and if I dont want to save anything on it
19:01:25 <Lemon> is it the same ?
19:01:31 <Lemon> or its simplier ?
19:01:32 <Halcyon> What do you mean?
19:01:38 <Lemon> just factory reset it
19:01:47 <Halcyon> Oh, I thought you wanted data off it
19:01:52 <Lemon> yeah I kinda want
19:01:57 <Lemon> but I want to know both options
19:02:17 <Lemon> because on another hand, I discovered yday that he was saving stuff on Icloud
19:02:21 <Halcyon> Well what I just said, is if you want data off the hard drive (and Filevault wasn't enabled)
19:02:22 <Lemon> so maybe theres already everything there
19:02:35 <Lemon> ok well first
19:02:43 <Lemon> lets try the T button manipulation
19:03:09 <Lemon> ok seems it worked
19:03:18 <Lemon> so now, I can connect it to my desktop, right ?
19:03:25 <Halcyon> Correct
19:03:34 <Lemon> with a usb male to usb male cable ?
19:03:36 <Lemon> simplpe as that ?
19:03:41 <Halcyon> It will present itself as a drive, but with the native Apple partition.
19:03:51 <Halcyon> No, you can blow stuff up. What icon is on the screen?
19:04:06 <Lemon> a lighting bolt in a circle wandering around
19:04:11 <Lemon> which is the transfer icon I think
19:04:15 <Halcyon> Then it only supports lightning to USB
19:04:32 <Halcyon> You'll need to get yourself an Apple lightning cable
19:04:41 <Lemon> so a simple lighting cable that I use to charge my iphones, for example ?
19:04:44 <Halcyon> Yep
19:04:48 <Lemon> ok good
19:04:56 <Halcyon> But what machine are you connecting it to?
19:05:27 <Lemon> well I have my desktop as an only option, which got win 10 on it, but maybe I can work something out with a vm ?
19:05:50 <Halcyon> Win 10 won't recognise the drive. You need some kind of Windows tool that can read HFS partitions
19:06:04 <Lemon> ok no problems
19:06:14 <Halcyon> Or HFS+
19:06:31 <Lemon> yeah just found that
19:06:35 <Lemon> first link in google xd
19:06:37 <Lemon> lets dl it
19:06:58 <Lemon> but I might be dumb
19:07:07 <Halcyon> To answer the next part of your question, hold Command (squiggly line) and R while powering on the machine, keep holding until you get the recovery menu
19:07:07 <Lemon> but im not seeing any lightning port on the macbook
19:07:45 <Halcyon> What ports do you have? USB?
19:08:17 <Lemon> usb, hdmi and some other ports
19:08:25 <Lemon> with a lightnining bolt next to it, but its not the same connector
19:08:28 <Lemon> I forgot the name of those
19:08:33 <Lemon> thunderbolt ?
19:08:39 <Halcyon> Yes
19:09:20 <Lemon> hmm soI need onee of those cables instead ?
19:09:42 <Lemon> I doubt I have one
19:10:06 <Halcyon> Do you have a firewire option?
19:11:01 <Lemon> no, doesnt seem so
19:11:17 <Halcyon> If you connect USB to USB, you need a host-to-host cable
19:11:19 <Lemon> damn the mac is heating upp like crazy
19:11:29 <Halcyon> Yeh, Crapple will do that :P
19:11:37 <Lemon> eveen when doing nothing ?
19:11:40 <Lemon> jeez
19:11:43 <Halcyon> Uhuh
19:11:55 <Lemon> pfff thats a pain
19:12:08 <Lemon> im going to try more passwords xd
19:12:50 <Halcyon> Do you want me to send you one?
19:13:12 <Lemon> nah dude thats really kind :P I will maybe find one in my fathers stuff !
19:13:18 <Lemon> thing is, its a huge pile of mess
19:13:29 <Halcyon> It's a specialised cable, I doubt a regular user would have one
19:13:29 <Lemon> we sorted through it with my mother bud jesus
19:13:42 <Lemon> well he was a computer/electronics engeneer
19:13:57 <Lemon> so im fairly sure he got one around as he was often working on macs
19:14:01 <Halcyon> Maybe then, but they weren't overly common
19:15:13 <Halcyon> This is all assuming Filevault wasn't enabled
19:15:19 <Lemon> on top of that yeah
19:15:23 <Lemon> pffff
19:15:25 <Halcyon> If it was, you're also partially stuffed
19:15:31 <Lemon> that would be much easier if we can find the pswd
19:15:42 <Lemon> it wouldnt surprise me if it was enabled
19:15:50 <Halcyon> It was off by default back then
19:15:55 <Lemon> but it would also not surprise me if he disabled it
19:16:51 <Lemon> ok brb
