I felt that... Bought a used PowerMac G5 in 2007, cause the new Intels were out of my price range at the time... I figured there would be *some* support, but the PPC was dropped like a sack of rocks once Apple gave up on it. The thing is, Rosetta is irrelevant to supporting the old hardware...

Those tiny little i7 Dell 9020s are nifty little machines. Literally picked one up out of recycling at my new job. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, my main Hackintosh rig (i7 3770K, GA-Z77X-UP5 TH, 32GB, GTX 980ti) was killed by a power surge caused by the power transformer in front of...

I got two spaces where I use a computer. May main rig is currently dead, but this is my ever messy desk... Until it's untimely death due to Earth swallowing up the transformer in front of my apartment and power surging it to death, this rig WAS a Quad i7 3770K with 32GB RAM and an Nvidia GTX...

I got a reasonably priced deal on a 10th Gen i9 and a board to go with... For the time being, I plan for it to be a Windows PC for my workshop, but once I get a better system, that better system will become my PC, and honestly... That i9 10th gen will probably become my final legacy Hackintosh...

Oh? I will have to research this. Last OS I installed was Yosemite, and it was kind of a miracle install... It actually failed, and I sat the SSD aside for a year. My motherboard had died once already due to a power surge, and I had it repaired (I was never a fan of this generation of...

I truly miss the old designs that mimicked real world objects and spaces. Skeuomorphism would be the term for that... I miss that. I don't want my UI to be as flat as my LCD panel! I can understand Apple moving on from CDs, as CDs aren't exactly cutting edge tech anymore, but the flatness...

Well, I HAD been running an i7 3770K on a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH with 32GB RAM and an Nvidia GTX 980ti until June... that was until the Earth swallowed the transformer box outside my place, and it got zapped by the surge. I'm STILL replacing lights that have started burning out only a month or so...

It's true that current software developmers will be offered tools to aid in transitioning to compiling for ARM and x64/ARM combination binaries, however, this ignores a lot of legacy software. Apple is already screwing over legacy users by locking 32-bit apps from even executing on Caltalina...

As someone who made the horrifically bad decision of buying a G5 on a discount when the first Intel Macs were rolling out... It's been YEARS since that decision, and I regret it still. I got a G5 in 2008, when My B&W G3 (upgraded first to a faster G3, then a G4 processor) finally died, I needed...

:beachball: Can't process this statement... :beachball: It's March 1, and my Gigabyte motherboard died on Jan 7. They have been slow, vague, and I still have no idea if they actually fixed it, since they still have my board. That's right... Almost 2 months to go from me requesting service to...

Thanks! I've been thoroughly aggravated trying to navigate anything with the awful interface quirks of Windows 10 on the i5 tablet I've been borrowing... It's reminding me why I originally put so much effort into building this Hackintosh in the first place... Still beats my original fallback...

My Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH motherboard has completely failed. It trips a power fault condition on my power supply, and the local computer shop verified it does the same for 4 different models and brands of PSU. If servicing it through Gigabyte doesn't pan out, i'm curious what I should look for in...

The issue appears to stem from the digital power management that the 77 boards use. It has differences to traditional power management. Older motherboards and PSUs used to put most of the amps on the 3.3 volt and 5 volt rails. As CPU power requirements increased, and CPU core voltages dropped...
