    News Microsoft eliminates workaround that circumvents Microsoft account requirement during Windows 11 installation

    Isn't it something like only 11% of users moved over to W11? Why would they want to shove it this hard?

    Discussion Am I the only one tired by GPU numbers?

    I only just learned that the 9070XT was a thing a few days ago. I've been somewhat disconnected to the New-Releases and honestly the LTT nonsense on YouTube has pushed me away from keeping up. What is the plan with this? I haven't heard anything about an 8000 series at all, did I miss...

    Question To clone or not to clone ?

    I have done this PowerPC to Intel. MacOS usually leaves other kernels in the system, so when you set up a new PowerPC install, it's best to strip the X86 kernels. Helps a lot with swap, actually. I would try this first. And if its a fact now that the kernels are left out, well, that'd be a...

    Question Need help creating a working Hackintosh for my laptop

    Do you have access to a Mac? The best way to start is making a whole boot disk with OCLP (OpenCore) and seeing what shows up. Sometimes it just goes. OpenCore is the EFI tool you'll need and the rest can be put together pretty quickly. You can run MacOS in a VM to start if you need to...

    Question How can I transfer video files from a Windows PC to an iPad ?

    This is sort of hilarious, but install VLC. You can upload to VNC media player and pull it off over the network later. Go to the network tab, turn on web uploads, then shoot whatever you want in thru the upload page it posts.

    Question Is a 10th gen iPad ok for use like a laptop?

    I'd give it a shot. I've had interest in doing this myself, but I haven't had the chance to get my hands on an M1 yet. If you were using the tools the iPad had, I'd try it.

    Discussion The 2013 Mac Pro is Uniquely Misunderstood

    Hello I wanted to start a conversation about a machine that I have grown to love. And its for a unique reason. I guess I technically downgraded from a machine based on an Asus P9X79LE, 10 core 2690V2, as I would have more memory channels. I brought the CPU over because I wanted the 10 core...
