The End Of The Hackintosh Is Upon Us


From the very dawn of the personal computing era, the PC and Apple platforms have gone very different ways. IBM compatibles surged in popularity, while Apple was able to more closely guard the Macintosh from imitators wanting to duplicate its hardware and run its software.

Things changed when Apple announced it would hop aboard the x86 bandwagon in 2005. Soon enough was born the Hackintosh. It was difficult, yet possible, to run MacOS on your own computer built with the PC parts your heart desired.

Only, the Hackintosh era is now coming to the end. With the transition to Apple Silicon all but complete, MacOS will abandon the Intel world once more.

End Of An Era

2025 saw the 36th Worldwide Developers Conference take place in June, and with it, came the announcement of macOS Tahoe. The latest version of Apple’s full-fat operating system will offer more interface customization, improved search features, and the new attractive ‘Liquid Glass’ design language. More critically, however, it will also be the last version of the modern MacOS to support Apple’s now aging line of x86-based computers.

The latest OS will support both Apple Silicon machines as well as a small list of older Macs. Namely, if you’ve got anything with an M1 or newer, you’re onboard. If you’re Intel-based, though, you might be out of luck. It will run on the MacBook Pro 16 inch from 2019, as well as the MacBook Pro 13-inch from 2020, but only the model with four Thunderbolt 3 ports. It will also support iMacs and Mac Minis from 2020 or later. As for the Mac Pro, you’ll need one from 2019 or later, or 2022 or later for the Mac Studio.

Basically, beyond the release of Tahoe, Apple will stop releasing versions of its operating system for x86 systems. Going forward, it will only be compiling MacOS for ARM-based Apple Silicon machines.

How It Was Done


Of course, it’s worth remembering that Apple never wanted random PC builders to be able to run macOS to begin with. Yes, it will eventually stop making an x86 version of its operating system, but it had already gone to great lengths trying to stop macOS from running on non-authorized hardware. The dream of a Hackintosh was to build a powerful computer on the cheap, without having to pay Apple’s exorbitant prices for things like hard drive, CPU, and memory upgrades. However, you always had to jump through hoops, using hacks to fool macOS into running on a computer that Apple never built.

Installing macOS on a PC takes some doing.

Getting a Hackintosh running generally involved pulling down special patches crafted by a dedicated community of hackers. Soon after Apple started building x86 machines, hackers rushed to circumvent security features in what was then called Mac OS X, allowing it to run on non-Apple approved machines. The first patches landed just over a month after the first x86 Macs. Each subsequent Apple update to OS X locked things down further, only for the community to release new patches unlocking the operating system in quick succession. Sometimes this involved emulating the EFI subsystem which contemporary Macs used in place of a traditional PC’s BIOS. Sometimes it was involved as tweaking the kernel to stick to older SSE2 instructions when Apple’s use of SS3 instructions stopped the operating system running on older hardware. Depending on the precise machine you were building, and the version of OS X or MacOS that you hoped to run, you’d use different patches or hacks to get your machine booting, installing, and running to operating system.
Hackintosh communities maintain lists of bugs and things that don’t work quite right—no surprise given Apple’s developers put little thought into making their OS work on unofficial hardware. Credit: eliteMacx86.com via Screenshot
Running a Hackintosh often involved dealing with limitations. Apple’s operating system was never intended to run on just any hardware, after all. Typical hurdles included having to use specific GPUs or WiFi cards, for example, since broad support for the wide range of PC parts just wasn’t there. Similarly, sometimes certain motherboards wouldn’t work, or would require specific workarounds to make Apple’s operating system happy in a particularly unfamiliar environment.

Of course, you can still build a Hackintosh today. Instructions exist for installing and running macOS Sequoia (macOS 15), macOS Sonoma (macOS 14), as well as a whole host of earlier versions all the way back to when it was still called Mac OS X. When macOS Tahoe drops later this year, the community will likely work to make the x86 version run on any old PC hardware. Beyond that, though, the story will end, as Apple continues to walk farther into its ARM-powered future.

Ultimately, what the Hackintosh offered was choice. It wasn’t convenient, but if you were in love with macOS, it let you do what Apple said was verboten. You didn’t have to pay for expensive first party parts, and you could build your machine in the manner to which you were accustomed. You could have your cake and eat it too, which is to say that you could run the Mac version of Photoshop because that apparently mattered to some people. Now, all that’s over, so if you love weird modifier keys on your keyboard and a sleek, glassy operating system, you’ll have to pay the big bucks for Apple hardware again. The Hackintosh is dead. Long live Apple Silicon, so it goes.

Vous dites que la gauche israélienne n’existe plus. Pourtant, avant le 7 octobre, des dizaines de milliers d’Israéliens descendaient dans la rue pour dénoncer la politique de Netanyahou.

Une grande partie de l’opinion publique israélienne commence effectivement à s’opposer à la stratégie du gouvernement pour sauver les otages. Mais cette même opinion publique continue pour beaucoup à soutenir le génocide à Gaza. Si vous écoutez les slogans ou les discours prononcés lors des manifestations, vous verrez qu’on parle d’un cessez-le-feu pour sauver les otages, pas pour sauver les Palestiniens.

Certains disent même qu’après le retour des otages la guerre pourra continuer, dieu seul sait dans quel but. Ainsi, toutes les grandes manifestations qui ont eu lieu avant le 7 octobre en Israël visaient à sauver la démocratie pour les juifs d’Israël et non à créer une véritable démocratie où les Palestiniens seraient égaux, une démocratie où personne ne vivrait sous occupation militaire, ne serait sans aucun droit. Non, il s’agissait de sauver notre vie juive ou notre liberté juive, indépendamment des atrocités que nous commettons contre les Palestiniens dans les territoires occupés.

Y'all I'm beginning to think the writers of Andor are trying to give people a message.

The irony that this inspiring story of revolution against Fascism is streaming on Disney+.
in reply to Ricki Yasha Tarr

The irony is not lost on me. I honestly can’t believe Disney allowed Andor to made with that story. Maybe Disney execs were too distracted by scrubbing out the queer identity of the main character in Elio.
in reply to Ricki Yasha Tarr

Star Wars has always been about fighting against fascism. The difference between Andor and the rest of the franchise is that Andor has painted a much more detailed picture of what the Empire is, how it works, and why it is still vulnerable despite all its power.

The image depicts a muscular man balancing on a tightrope, with his back to the viewer. He is shirtless and wearing a loincloth. The background is split into two halves: the left side shows a blue sky with white clouds, while the right side shows a starry black space. The man's arms are outstretched, and he appears to be in a precarious position. The text "Extreme narcissism" is written in white capital letters on the left side, and "Extreme self hate" is written on the right side. The image is overlaid with the text "[@]meethimaut" at the bottom.

Buen día, miserables.

Las fuentes de luz son una vieja obsesión mía. Afortunadamente lo son también para Alec Watson aka "el gordito de Technology Connections", quien le dedicó media amorosa hora a un invento que en cada una de sus partes hubiera hecho enloquecer y perpetrar crímenes para obtenerlo a nuestros antepasados.

(Hablando de locura y criminalidad: "carrera hacia el abismo". O "al hoyo". No importa qué tan buena sea una idea, siempre algún delincuente la arruina, sea minimizando componentes electrónicos, buscando los más baratos que hacen funcionar el aparato UNA vez, diseñando mecánicamente para "fabricabilidad" y no "reparabilidad"... Recordemos no confundir, la "rotura programada" es simple y común, no pide ofrecer mejores productos ahora o en el futuro, sólo más de lo mismo.)

Los subtítulos traducidos automáticamente al español no son precisamente cuidados, pero sin habérmelos fumado enteros me atrevo a suponer que entenderán lo que decía el guión original. Y si no, me preguntan.

Volviendo a mi problema, agradezcan que nunca les curtí la paciencia con la lámpara de Nernst, por la que me preguntó @beckermatic en otra red hace algo de cuatro años, capaz porque en esos días salió este detallado video de otro enfermo a quien se extraña. Si viéramos en una longitud de onda más larga hubieran sido la lámpara incandescente, nada de filamentos siempre al borde de partirse suspendidos dentro de vidrios aún más frágiles.


Buen día, miserables.

Hoy finalmente retiré del servicio las dos últimas lámparas fluorescentes compactas que había en mi casa--mientras todavía les queda algo de vida útil, porque soy una vieja sensiblera y no las quiero guardar ya muertitas.

Fueron unas lindas décadas, y una tecnología disfrutable para nosotras las enfermitas. Después de los años de laburo que insumió adaptar tubos plegados al formato requerido y construir bases que incluyeran un balasto, en su versión original magnético, que las hacía pesar arriba de medio kilo sumado al grueso vidrio difusor, y desde fines de los ochentas en adelante electrónico (pero miren la bestia que fue al principio, con un capacitor electrolítico grueso como un dedo), se llegó a productos razonablemente eficientes y longevos si no se los maltrataba.

Pero esa parte la explica mejor el gordo de "Technology Connections": youtube.com/watch?v=_AdBcTMHG0…

Me limitaré a contemplar en mi mente cada uno de los desarrollos que culminaron en estos objetos de complejidad decididamente moderada para nuestra época, pero demencial para cualquier artesano o ingeniero de principios del siglo XIX. (Sí, cuando se estaba aún desculando la electricidad. Buena época.)

¡Brindo por la feliz jubilación de quienes me iluminaron por tanto tiempo!

Y no teman encariñarse con las herramientas que nos han servido. Es bueno ser agradecidos en la vida.

Liberals are gutting workers’ rights with legal trickery while pretending to respect them. The tactics include bypassing unions, killing strikes through imposed arbitration, and, ‘Independent’ inquiries justifying wage cuts.

The goal is to crush union power under Carney’s ‘prosperity’ agenda.

Liberals frame labour fights as individual greed obscuring the class struggle. This is a slow-motion union bust on national scale.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring three individuals in a dynamic pose. The central figure is leaning back with their head tilted to the side, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and light blue jeans. They are making a hand gesture near their face. The person behind them is wearing a dark shirt with a graphic design and dark pants, with their hand raised. The third person is partially visible, wearing a dark shirt and pants, standing behind the central figure. The background is plain and dark, with no distinct features. The lighting is low, creating shadows and emphasizing the figures' movements.
