Hackintosh VM
August 24th, 2021I ran across a YouTube video recently describing how to set up a hackintosh VM - OSX running in a qemu vm. This goes a bit above and beyond to actually assigning a separate GPU to the VM and performance should be pretty good. I started working on this but had some issues with getting networking set up the way I want to and haven't had a chance to get back to it. Here are all the links for reference.

Mac Mini 2006 - Maxed out
May 24th, 2021I have a first gen Mac Mini (2006) that I use for Mac specific software on occasion. It's so old at this point that I can't install most new software, webpages won't load because the browser is so outdated, etc. With a few modifications, I can get OS X 10.7 Lion installed and eke out a few more years (hopefully).
