I have a 23" Cinema Display with a broken acrylic kickstand, the hinge is fine. I bent some metal to fit the curve and sandwiched it together. The final parts It works! Oh the size comparison!

Hackintosh will continue forever on older Intel hardware using unsupported MacOS versions. Heck, there is plenty of Retro computing communities running Pre-PPC and PPC Macs out there. I will continue to hack long into retirement with all the old stuff I have collected. I converted some old...

I took a 4 hour trip to pickup a Powermac1,1 G3 350MHz so I could compare the two. I did a little photo shoot with the happy couple. Danger zone! That tiny screen is an iPad2 with VGA/HDMI driver board taped on the back. The mini screen is another project still in progress (it is propped up...

Time to make some progress... I got the 4 handles printed with pretty good quality, so I will try to finish this up soon. The latch is too small for a finger, so I will have to borrow a small child, use a doll hand, or a pencil. No idea what the bottom of a B&W looked like, so went with my...

I am finally getting around to cleaning out this hoard. Lots of dead/unknown video cards, so I picked a dented/stripped case to become a test station. I marked the outline of the majority of the video card and heat pipe, noting the 21 inch as well. Then I drilled pilot holes from the inside...

Not really a true hackintosh, but get yourself an older 2009-2011 iMac for cheap, and you can load everything from 10.7 to Sonoma with OCLP. I got 15 MacOS versions on one 4TB drive. I picked up 19 imacs from a garage sale for US$150 (all ram and drives missing, only 4 pieces of non-broken...

Your clock/date/time is likely off. Usually you get that error because the digital signature is no longer valid. Before you install MacOS, when you are at the first screen and you have the option to use Disk Utility and the other items, instead go to the top menu and Utilities->Terminal...

@craighazan , just found the "Intel Compute Stick", not the powerhouse you are currently using, but they come in Atom and Celeron versions, would be interesting to see one hacked and compare speeds to a LattePanda. https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/intel-compute-stick-core-m3 (old 2016 review) and...

I think most of the new mini-PCs follow the NUC footprint just before Intel stated they were dropping the NUC platform. When I started with Cube's, Mini-ITX was my rage, and when I discovered Mini-STX, I bought 5 of those. I was never fond of the soldered on NUC processor, until I got one...

Not sure if this guy ships international, but $169 on eBay. Radeon W5700, from the other photos it looks like its taken from a storage unit, maybe an old mining warehouse shutdown.

When you get to the initial screen to install, you have the options for disk utility, etc... go up to the menu and find Terminal. Set your date to something shortly after the release of High Sierra, like Jan 1, 2018. Type date into Terminal followed by today's date in this format...

Update your profile to match the machine you are currently requesting help with (the T7610 into).

Compare your EFI to this thread. The T7910 worked great for my T7810, maybe the T7610 is not that far off.

Yes and no (PETG has a better transparency than PLA, but they print pretty much the same). I have the bondi blue and strawberry as well as a 'natural' or clear. The single line tree supports turn out pretty clear, but anything with some thickness to it starts to get pretty cloudy. You will...

I came into possession of a dozen or more old iMacs for parts... craigslist garage sale needed clearing out. Most had screens removed (available, just not installed), no ram or hard drives. Out of the lot of 19 iMacs, only 2 good pieces of cover glass (one 24" and one 21"), the rest were...
