Tenebris NoxThank Goodness for Open Core Legacy Patcher. Upgraded my 2012 MacBook to Ventura (I guessed that trying to run Sequoia is probably trying my arm a little too far). Those pesky apps that wouldn’t run on my “obsolete” MacBook now work again. <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a>

Markus RudelStrange: my wife’s MacBook Air is running out of disk space. I wonder if it is because it’s a MacBook running <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/oclp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oclp</a> and not the latest <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/masos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#masos</a> yet. I’ve already scanned for the biggest files and found some iOS backups which I’ve deleted. But still no huge change on the available disk space which feels really strange to me. Any ideas?

I don't know if this is just common now, or a side effect of <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a>, but when trying to boot into recovery mode my speakers didn't work. A set of headphones did, though.Now I'm creating an install of MacOS 15.3 because I clearly don't learn from my mistakes.

SteveNine months ago I installed an update which made it impossible for me to boot into my MacBook Air that had Open Legacy Patcher running so I could continue receiving software updates. I tried fixing it for about a week and then literally put it in a box, assuming it was a lost cause.Last night, I dug it back out, determined to fix it. Finally, I did with the instructions here: <a href="https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html#stuck-on-boot-after-root-patching" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/TROUBLESHOOTING.html#stuck-on-boot-after-root-patching</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a>

Ik neig naar Linux.

Ruarí Ødegaard<a href="https://snabelen.no/@baggetun" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baggetun</a> And yet it can keep on going. I am also running an Apple machine right now from 2015 to reply to you. It was stuck on Catalina. I switched to Linux, though it too can run the latest macOS if you use <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a>. It is not obsolete yet, despite what Apple thinks. It runs great. I did replace the battery (which is a job and a half, lots of screws and it was also glued in place) but it now gets around 7 hours of battery life again. I also replaced the charger (it had a cable chewed up by my cat) with a USB-C to Magsafe 2 cable that have it pluged into a cheap 65W USB-C PD charger.We really need to cut back on <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/eWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eWaste</a>. Apple, a $3.59 trillion company with massive profits, could do a hell of a lot more here. If they supported them longer I am convinced that people would keep using their old machines or pass/sell them on to someone who might. There is a lot to one of these laptops and they sell millions. It would make a difference. In addition, things like the battery should also be easier to replace and more standardised.

Ruarí ØdegaardOne of my colleagues works remotely and used to do occasional testing on a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mac</a>. However the Mac he had was left lying around since it was stuck on 10.13 and hence has not been getting security updates since November 12, 2020 and has not even been usable with Vivaldi for a long while also.We are sending him a newer Apple Silicon based Mac (since that would also allow easier testing of internal builds using iOS simulator) but in the mean time I pointed out that he could upgrade his current machine with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OpenCoreLegacyPatcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenCoreLegacyPatcher</a>, despite Apple preventing upgraded via the regular method.He went all the way from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HighSierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HighSierra</a> 10.13, right up to macOS 15 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sequoia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sequoia</a> without any obvious issues. Once again, it is silly that Apple is letting these working machines just be wasted.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a>

IrishMASMSThe battery replacement went well, the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/spicypillows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spicypillows</a> are removed, and am working on my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/macPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macPro</a> again. The bottom plate is definitely warped. 😩 The directions that came with the replacement battery was way more involved than it needed to me; having me remove the motherboard and everything. Yea, sure you could go that path but there is a less invasive approach (and less risk of damaging parts or connectors with my sausage fingers).

brawnybunkbedbuddy<a href="https://bsd.network/@rubenerd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rubenerd</a> the UI flatness that happen in last 10 years is terrible. lack of differentiation between active and static elements has amazing darkpattern possibilities...my late-2011 mbp runs manjaro for some time now and i've slapped sonoma on it too but just for meaningless stuff like icloud synchronization of other devices.while open core legacy patcher <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/oclp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oclp</a> allows to install newer macos versions, the old hardware makes sadly a huge difference on use :c

Ruarí ØdegaardAt least one other user who somehow got past the WiFi problems on install (maybe they used alt networking connection via WiFi or ethernet adapter 🤷) having harware issues with the Camera and Keyboard backlight (both of which work with Ubuntu). The post is two years old and these issues might now be resolved but given my WiFi installer issues, I could not count on it. So this does not seem worth the hassle when Ubuntu works out of the box and even macOS Ventura could be installed (again with no obvious downsides) via <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a>. I'm putting this down as a fail for Google. Still at least they tried, unlike Apple, who consider this machine eWaste.

Ruarí Ødegaard<a href="https://snabelen.no/@baggetun" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baggetun</a> I do have a couple lying around somewhere but I cannot really be bothered. It runs Ubuntu 24.04 without such issues and can even run macOS Ventura via <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a> (again with no obvious problems)This was just about curisoity to see if it was possible and while it might work if I force it a little there is no need to do so when better options exist.I am not the only one with this issue (see the attached first image). And people who did get it installed had other issues, e.g. no working Camera (see the second image). Perhaps that is working now but judging by the semi working wifi, I have my doubts. Also it is not a great OS option. Again this was more about satisying my curiosity and I did, at best it is a subpar experience because you need to work around issues with the installer. 🤷

Ruarí ØdegaardFWIW, this old Intel MacBook did get Safari updated yesterday, after using <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OCLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCLP</a> to update to Ventura.Had it been down to Apple, this machine could have been a botnet now for all they care. 😢 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/eWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eWaste</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OpenCoreLegacyPatcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenCoreLegacyPatcher</a>

vtНакатил на божественный Санди бридж + радеон r9 последнюю поддерживаемую макось Монтеррей. Просто развернул бекап efi-раздела и все взлетело как было. Но мне нахрен не нужна Макось без актуального Икскода. А дальше все, требуется процессор с avx2.0. Нашел CryptexFixup, который подгружает кэши, не требующие avx2.0, и типа все должно работать. Но дальше, оказывается, что радеон р9 тоже уже не поддерживается, и тут становится непонятно. Вроде есть отдельный проект OpenCore Legacy Patcher, с помощью которого запускают на неподдерживаемых маках новую макось и старое железо, и у них написано что мое видео будет работать, вот только непонятно, запускают этот OCLP на не-маках или как, я проковырял все их доки и нигде про это вообще не написано.
