    Possible to test drive a different SMBIOS?

    Can I swap my SMBIOS (on a thumb drive so I don't bork my machine, of course) without also needing to sign out of all the iCloud stuff, or is that not an option? I recently got a update on a post that I figured was dead, and I want to try out what the person suggested, which is switching my...

    << Solved >> Backup using dd?

    I was wondering if it's possible to create a backup of my system (for upgrade purposes, etc) using the "dd" command line program in Linux. I've seen a million articles about using CCCloner and other stuff, but it really seems like I should be able to use dd to make an image of the drive that I...

Now for the long story... I followed the instructions here trying to setup the startup chime...

    Native 4K with Radeon 5500 XT

    I'm having an issue getting my display to output higher than 1080p. I can adjust the scaling on the display through system prefs to achieve a higher resolution, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that... Maybe? I've got a 5k iMac that, by default, outputs 2560x1440, so I would expect a...

    GPU and Wifi/Bluetooth suggestions/advice

    I'm considering building my first Hackintosh, but I'm stuck on picking out a GPU and suitable Wifi/Bluetooth card. For reference, I'm building on a GIGABYTE Z490I AORUS motherboard (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145188?Item=N82E16813145188) with an Intel 10900K processor...
