printf "\nSystem has been awake for `echo $delta | awk '{printf("%d:%02d:%02d:%02d\n",($1/60/60/24),($1/60/60%24),($1/60%60),($1%60))}'`\n\n"
Either:
a. dump your BIOS with a chip clip and a CH341 and pay dosdude1 like $20 to remove the whitelist using blaque magicke or
b. use 1vyrain softmod
If b, then any changes you want to make to EC (Embedded Controller) firmware (for classic keyboard mod and/or battery whitelist removal) must be made BEFORE flashing 1vyrain. You can go back later, revert 1vyrain, modify EC, then redo 1vyrain; but you cannot mod EC after 1vyrain is in place.
1. EC mod

macOS Spotlight fuckup - not finding applications in /System/Applications, etc.
Run the following in a terminal:
sudo mdutil -Ea
sudo mdutil -ai off
sudo mdutil -ai on
Alternatively, use Automator to create an Application with a Run Shell Script Action containing the above and put it somewhere it's easy to access.
