“Airport Utility.App” in my macbook professional m1 max (sequoia) exhibits its identify of computen as “Macbookpro”.
In my MacBook Professional 2014 (Large Sur) it’s appropriately proven as “MBP-M1MAX”, which is the identify I gave in Sequoia within the M1:
person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get HostName
MBP-M1Max
person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get LocalHostName
MBP-M1Max
person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get ComputerName
MBP-M1Max
The place does “Macbookpro” come from and the way modified it (if doable)?
P.S. Large Sur’s Airport Utility:
PPS Airport Utility in Sequoia appropriately exhibits the identify modified from the Large Sur Macbook Professional, however it isn’t yours.
This isn’t new and has continued in a number of updates.
I can solely assume that it comes from the identical place within the identify in “System configuration> Normal> About”, that’s, some predetermined identify, which may very well be modified in earlier iterations of the brand new system configuration (if I don’t keep in mind appropriately), however, for some purpose, it has grow to be unlucky with solely the sector of “identify” underneath the left for the change.
The issue with that’s that one will be unable to simply know the distinction, when there are a number of notebooks (“Macbookpro”) linked to the community.
As well as, iPhones additionally present the proper identify – “MBP -M1MAX” – of their helpful functions on the airport.
