Escaping to #OBTS soon! Will be weird not seeing snow this time of year (or freezing in -20c ;p)

We couldn't have done this without the many amazing developers who've put an insane amount of work into these old machines. And an extra big thank you to our amazing developer EduCovas, our Macs wouldn't be here today without him 🎉

DTK fits in well inside my development tower, just need to order a 2020 Mac mini IO plate for it 😄

Got a little present from @dosdude1 today, an Apple Silicon Developer Transition kit!
This will be a fun little research project 🛠️

My MacDevOpsYVR 2024 talk is up! “Electron Security: Making your Mac a worse place?”
Thank you again to @macvfx and all the other amazing organizers for putting on such a great conference!

For those curious why iPhone Mirroring is a T2/Apple Silicon feature (ie. not on the 2019 iMac), it seems Apple uses hardware device attestation for the pairing.
So on older machines like with OpenCore Legacy Patcher (or Hackintoshes), the feature unfortunately does not work:

Mini follow up to CVE-2024-27822, Apple patched it in both macOS 12.7.5 and 13.6.7!
Though Apple didn’t reference it in either security notes, glad to see n-1 and n-2 still getting some love. Do wonder why it was only referenced in 14.5’s notes 🤔

Bit late, but BSides Calgary finally uploaded recordings of everyone's talk! Unfortunately first 10min has no audio, and the rest is a bit broken but happy there's a recording.
“Legacy Macs, Modern Solutions. A Hacker's Approach to Mac Sustainability.”

Shouldn’t have showed me this lol. I passed on a 24” Cinema Display cause of the missing PSU in the uni’s recycling bin.
Now do I go back and salvage it…

@austinnotduncan Hi, loved seeing OpenCore Legacy Patcher in your latest video but seems you grabbed the wrong URL for our guide lol
Not sure who paulocmarques is, but our documentation is officially hosted at dortania.github.io:

With much anticipation, we're proud to announce OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0! And with it, macOS Sonoma support!

Hope everyone’s excited for the coming release, we’re planning for the same hardware supported range as with OCLP and Ventura.
Here’s just a small sample of machines running Sonoma internally:

Good catch on that! Delved a bit deeper on macOS, DeviceIdentity.framework has special handling for VMs through “_is_virtual_baa_enabled()” if AppleInternal is set

Something I hadn’t noticed up till now, Apple’s now shipping a Cryptex in the Safari 17 beta.
Interesting part is the amount of logic going into poststall scripts including usage of cryptegraft.
Additionally, a new internal VM model, VirtualMac2,3 (vmac300ap), was referenced.

Bit of a tangent from my usual legacy Mac patching, however finally figured out how to bypass Apple’s VM limit on Apple silicon Macs with macOS Guest VMs!
Below are 9 VMs running at once, and surprisingly usable!

Another milestone hit with legacy Macs and macOS Sonoma: 3802-based GPU accel! Includes hardware such as Intel’s Ivy Bridge and Haswell, and Nvidia’s Kepler.
Amazing work from the dev team, especially EduCovas. And many thanks to everyone who’ve donated:

Hey I know that spot!
I'm starting to get pretty excited for #WWDC23 😀
What hardware or OS announcement are you looking forward to the most?

I remember wanting a cheese grater for so long.
Got lucky with a dead G5 unit when I was 17, converted her to a Hackintosh. Still running to this day, as my local server with Proxmox! Gotta keep those macOS installers somewhere
(And yes, I did convert the FireWire to USB-C ;p)

So cursed fact of the day: When @MacStadium provided us a 2018 Mac mini running Mojave for OCLP’s Build Server, apparently the system’s root volume was HFS+
For reference, High Sierra made APFS default on SSDs and Mojave required all boot drives to be APFS.
This’ll be fun lol

Another day, another broken KDK!
Poor engineer uploaded today’s KDK (22F5037d) as a disk image, same happened on 13.3 Beta 3:
nitter.siddz.com/khronokernel/status/16…
As before, simple rename to .pkg resolves this
Whoever manages KDKs at Apple, hope you’re doing alright. Today’s KDK is labeled as the usual DMG but is actually PKG @-@
Simple rename works for anyone having issues

A few weeks ago, we also had the KDK for 13.3 Beta 2 drop a few days *before* 13.3 Beta 2 itself.
Additionally the first 2 KDKs of 13.3 were almost double the size, without any actual reason. Thankfully that issue seems to be mostly resolved with Beta 3

And as always, amazing work from EduCovas and @ASentientBot! This project wouldn’t be where it is today without these talented developers.
As well as thank you to everyone who’ve donated hardware to our project, the Vega support you see today is thanks to our users!

After much anticipation, OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.6.0 has finally released! And with it, hardware support for so many more machines on macOS Ventura, including non-Metal GPUs!

Back home in Ukraine, today is our Christmas. And to celebrate, I believe it's fitting to release an early build of non-Metal Graphics Acceleration to the public!
Insane work from our amazing devs, this wouldn't be possible without EduCovas and @ASentientBot!

Our binaries support macOS 10.10 and newer, and our build server that generates them runs macOS Mojave. Just remoted in and see to be running correct.
Are you certain your app’s not corrupted? Does opening the app notify you need a newer macOS version?

Apple’s unfortunately been pretty bad at syncing security updates across their “supported” OSes. Reason for Peter’s “joke” comment.
@theJoshMeister did a great presentation on Apple’s N-1/2 issues below. TLDR: Fixes are usually delayed or outright missing

And yes, that is a SATA to 6pin, then 6pin to 8pin adapter to get this little guy running.
Really should invest in a fire extinguisher one of these days 🧯

Finally got a Vega 64 working in Ventura with pre-AVX2.0 hardware! Had to hot rod the MacPro3,1, GPU barely fits ;p
But she boots! Big thanks to one of our gracious users, this Vega 64 was donated by them for development.
