Where did this come from? I didn't install it...

Do we open bottles of champagne when OpenCore finally hits 1.0?

At Amazon, the current price of an Intel i7 12700F is $290, and the price of an i7 12700KF is $210. Why? And is there any way the "K" version can be user-locked to hold its power usage (125W) down to 65W like the non-K? (Note: Amazon is showing 190W for the non-K, which is incorrect. PL1=65W...

In Mac OS, one is warned to properly eject removable media before physically removing them. In Windows 11 I can find no such "eject" function at all. Am I missing something?

The "Windows 11" I installed on my "Mini-ITX 2" Skylake computer (listed below) resulted from a need for a single-slot, single-backplate graphics card with a reasonable amount of gaming power. The AMD RX 6400 is rated at 4.3 TFlops, which is better than my GTX 1050 TI OC in my "Mini-ITX 3"...

Obviously they are mine... "Mini-ITX 2," "3," and "4" below. Tests were motivated by both curiosity and thoughts regarding a possible new computer build. I was kinda shocked that Mini-ITX 4 (at left) uses so much power. That's the RX 580, I guess.

I found zips for OpenCore 0.9.8 on this web page, under "Assets," but that's not the usual place. Is this a preliminary copy, or has the publication location changed?

Is there a list cross-referencing keys? Like, which Apple key is the "Windows" key? How does one "print" the screen with no "PrtSc" key on the keyboard? How about "printing" part of the screen? And where does the resulting file go? Etc, etc. Is there any tutorial specifically covering these...

This website has been such a great help to me in building "CustoMacs" since 2014, I wonder whether it has ever thought to semi-branch out to help DIY'ers building "ordinary" PCs? Probably not... but since the days of Hackintoshing will eventually pass into history, is it such a reach to think...

Almost there...

When I boot Sonoma 14.2.1 on my computer at left, along with the desktop I see (for about 2 seconds) a window that reads "Increase Display Contrast On." Not sure where this comes from or how to get rid of it, but at least it causes no problems. (No change in actual display contrast on my 24GM79G...

Recently received a "zipped" folder uploaded to tonymac and unzipping it produced the result in the screenshot below. This was caused by the Apple-supplied "Winzip.app" application in my Sonoma Applications folder being pre-set to unzip with Winzip, rather than the Unarchive Utility. I fixed...

My two trusty benchmarks now suddenly refuse to leave the desktop/Run window, although I hear the correct audio, and my RX 580 fan spins up after Run is pressed. This first happened after I updated OpenCore 0.9.6 to 0.9.7, but switching back to 0.9.6 doesn't fix the problem. Other video games...

So I get that subject small window on the Desktop for about 3 seconds after booting Sonoma. Never happened on Ventura or any previous Mac OS. Weird... anyone else see that?

Under what conditions is it better to use USB2 than USB3.x, if any?

Radical suggestion here, sorry MacOS fans, but you could do what I did and convert your Skylake to a Windows 11 computer, which is what I did with my "Mini-ITX 2" computer listed below. I built it as a Hackintosh in 2016 with an nVidia GTX 750 TI OC graphics card, running High Sierra. But then...

After updating Sonoma from 14.1.1 to 14.1.2 on computer at left, inputting my Apple password (on request) results in a new window which shows my password and also a blank text field just below. As if Apple wants a new password (which I do not want to change), but seems to be an option. Leaving...

I read this in a review of the Gigabyte Z590I motherboard: "First, Z590 offers native PCIe 4.0 support from the CPU, which means the PCIe and M.2 slots powered off the CPU will offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity when an 11th Gen CPU is installed. The PCIe and M.2 slots controlled by the Z590 chipset...

Maybe just cosmetic, but the weird message below during booting puzzles me. The only thing close to a "New item at 7" under an "Add" that I can find is item 6 (of 0 thru 6, making it the 7th item) in config.list/Kernel/Add. It's my USBPorts.kext. And it certainly isn't "new." No apparent effect...

I'll guess "Cupertino"... given the current Apple drift.
