Apple is laughing from us...
Apple don't send 2way verification code, but my sim is working properly....😇🥲 My hackintosh is waiting for since 6,7days!

Realtek AirPort Family
Hi! I’ve been working on improving and extending RTL88xx Wi-Fi support across a much wider range of macOS versions.
The kext is currently quite stable and supports macOS Mojave (10.14) all the way up to macOS 26 (Tahoe), with macOS 12 Monterey being the only exception.
Wi-Fi works through macOS’ native AirPort interface and integrates directly with the system’s built-in Wi-Fi UI, rather than relying on a separate Wi-Fi application.
AWDL is currently not functional. There is experimental AWDL-related code in the source tree, but it is still test code and should not be considered working or supported. Features that depend on AWDL should therefore not be expected to work at this time.
I’ve included the GitHub repository below for anyone interested in trying it out, contributing, or following the project.

NVBringup: prototype kext for NVIDIA Turing GPU compute (Vulkan / llama.cpp) on macOS
**Disclosure:** I vibe-coded this project and didn't write the kernel code myself. Did all the testing on my own hardware. It's a kext, so please have a read before you using it.
**What it is:** a kext that boots NVIDIA's GSP firmware on Turing GPUs and loads through OpenCore with SIP on. Paired with a macOS port of Mesa's NVK Vulkan driver, it runs Vulkan compute programs on the card. I mostly tried llama.cpp.
**Only tested on:** Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15IRH, Intel Core i5-9300H | 9th Gen, GeForce GTX 1650 (TU117, 4 GB) as the dGPU, with the Intel iGPU driving the screen. macOS Sonoma 14.8.9, OpenCore 1.0.7.
**What works**
* Qwen2.5 0.5B: \~2,200 t/s prompt processing, \~92–97 t/s generation
* Qwen2.5 1.5B: \~800 t/s prompt, \~54–55 t/s generation
* llama.cpp backend tests: 18,987 / 18,990 pass (the rest are f16 SQRT precision)
* Idle power-off, sleep/wake and restarts all work
* A few programs can share the GPU without seeing each other's memory
**Limits:** no display output, no Metal/OpenGL/OpenCL/CUDA, no Apple Silicon, and compute only. Other Turing chips are untested. Idle power-off needs the ACPI power methods that switchable-graphics laptops have.
**Gotchas:** don't hide the GPU with an SSDT or `-wegnoegpu`. Exposing it broke brightness on my laptop, and injecting `class-code` via `DeviceProperties` fixed it. Build llama.cpp with Metal and BLAS off, or it runs on the Mac's own GPU and can hang macOS. **No EFI or config.plist is shared**, only the boot-args and that one property, and **you build the kext from source**.
**Warning:** prototype, no PRs, no support. A bug can panic your machine or leave the GPU dead until you power-cycle, so test from a separate EFI copy and keep backups.
**Links**
* Kext, tools, docs: [NVBringup](https://github.com/kvarun-p/NVBringup)
* Mesa patches: [nvbringup-mesa](https://github.com/kvarun-p/nvbringup-mesa)
If anyone tries it on another Turing card, I'd like to hear whether it worked or blew up ;).
EDIT: Added macOS version name

Surface Pro 7 battery life on Sonoma 14.8
Hi guys! I'm new to hackintosh, and just installed Sonoma 14.8. I'm dual booting kde neon and macOS. I've found that kde neon gets better battery life than macOS. I'm a college student, and I need battery life that can last me a good 4-5hours. MacOS is just not providing that even when I'm just using obsidian and safari. Is there any way to optimize battery life on macOS Sonoma?

Not booting
Hi
After i installed sequoia on my pc it now doesnt display anything on the monitor except for a black screen even though it says DP connected and it shows the resolution. It does not show the usual motherboard logo on boot and it just goes to black screen.

Please help me!!!!!
Hi there! I bought a used HIS RX 560 2GB (non-auxiliary power model) to upgrade my system and get smoother graphics performance. However, I heard that this specific HIS card doesn't work out of the box on macOS and requires a BIOS modification. Does anyone know how to go about doing that?

Hackintosh on HP Elitebook 650G9
Hello i am trying to hackintosh my HP laptop but it does not work. I kow that it has unsupported CPU (12th gen i3) but i use CPU spoofing the configuration is the lowest of HP Elitebook 650g9 specs (8gb ram and 256gb nvme). i checked the efi but seems that nothing is wrong. And for the mac os version i am trying macOS Sonoma latest version i would like any help.

macOS Tahoe on BC-250 (Cyan Skillfish, repurposed PS5 APU) with Full GPU acceleration.
GPU Patch kext (MetalCyan): https://github.com/amethyst8118/MetalCyan
Patches are only targeted for macOS 26.7.1.
Everything related GPU works (except the usual bugs like VCN, DRM etc.) , with CPU, GPU OC and CU+core unlock.
Haven't looked into DP Audio and USB Mapping yet.

AX200 Bluetooth won't initialise on Ventura 13.7.8 (Address NULL, no logs from debug kexts)
Fresh Dortania-based OpenCore EFI on a Skylake HP laptop, macOS 13.7.8. Wi-Fi (AirportItlwm) works. Bluetooth doesn't: the toggle shows in Control Center but not in Settings, and no devices are found.
`system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType`: Address NULL, firmware v0 c0
USB device is detected (8087:0029) on a port mapped as internal
IntelBluetoothFirmware, IntelBTPatcher (both 2.3.0 Debug), BlueToolFixup and Lilu are all loaded in the correct order
Debug builds print nothing, even with
Tried: a full shutdown, resetting Bluetooth preferences, older and newer kext versions, disabling XOSI, disabling AirportItlwm, and checking the BIOS
It worked on macOS 12 with the same kext versions, but with a different EFI
Has anyone got an AX200 Bluetooth working on Ventura 13.x, and with which kext versions?
