You can use a tire and tube on a "tubeless ready" rim.

Except that many new carbon MTB tubeless rims are hookless, and meant to be run tubeless only. As long as the rim has bead hooks, you can use a tube.
Probably could get away with running a tube in a hookless rim too, I mean we did it forever before hooked rims became popular, but the manufacturers are in CYA mode these days.

Yeah, he obviously dove straight into the deep end without a life preserver. Couldn't start with the simple stuff.
