“AirPort Utility.app” on my MacBook Professional M1 Max (Sequoia) exhibits its ComputerName as “MacBookPro”.
On my MacBook Professional 2014 (Large Sur) it is appropriately proven as “MBP-M1Max”, which is the identify I gave it in Sequoia on the M1:
consumer@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get HostName
MBP-M1Max
consumer@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get LocalHostName
MBP-M1Max
consumer@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get ComputerName
MBP-M1Max
The place does “MacBookPro” come from and the way do I alter it (if in any respect attainable)?
PS. Large Sur’s AirPort Utility:
PPS. AirPort Utility in Sequoia appropriately exhibits the modified identify of the Large Sur MacBook Professional, simply not its personal.
This isn’t new and has endured over numerous upgrades.
I can solely assume it comes from the identical place the identify in “System Settings > Common > About” comes from, i.e. some default identify, which may very well be modified in earlier iterations of the brand new System Settings (if I bear in mind appropriately), however, for some cause, has been made ineditable with solely the “Identify” discipline beneath left for change.
The issue with that’s that one will not simply be capable to know the distinction, when there are a number of notebooks (“MacBookPro”) related to the community.
Moreover, iPhones additionally present the right identify – “MBP-M1Max” – of their AirPort Utility apps.
