Just to clear the air. Yes, I am an idiot. I installed Clover on a Mac Pro 4,1. Bought the Matt Card, and now nothing happens. I'm in a boot chime loop (every 10 mins). Please help!! Continue reading...

I have a 6,1 that I bought last year, NOS so I put AppleCare on it until 2023. Runs great on Big Sur. I did upgrade to 64gb of Samsung ram. And I added an Apple original 1TB SSD. I see varied results with upgrading to Monterey, sleep issues, video issues etc. Keeping current macOS was one of the reasons I upgraded my 5,1 so I would very much like to be running Monterey along with my 2 MBPs. Anybody care to comment or offer their thoughts if they have upgraded or intend to upgrade? TIA. Continue reading...

Just upgraded to Monterey. Sleep results in a crash and restart - any one else has this issue? This was an upgrade and not a clean install. I will post the crash report later. Never had issues with sleep in the last 3 years 8 months. Continue reading...

I hope the next (and final) Intel Mac Pro will be equipped with Sapphire Rapids and skip Ice Lake. If Intel enters Sapphire Rapids volume production in 2022 Q2 with no further delays, that would mean a late 2022 Intel Mac Pro which may come out together with a cheaper M1 Supreme/M1 Max Quad mini Mac Pro. Up to 56 core with 64GB onboard HBM2 memory, support up to 4TB DDR5 Ram (can’t imagine what Apple would charge for these but the nice thing about modular Mac Pro is you can find it...

I love the 2019 Mac Pro - stacked with a 28 core CPU and dual W6800X duos, it's a beast for video work. The new M1 Max mac is super impressive - it may not have the horsepower of the Mac Pro, but the software optimizations if you work with pro res and certain codecs is impressive, acceleration on the chip. They even said it was equal to a Mac Pro with 8 cores AND Afterburner in Pro res, that's scary fast! So...when the Mac Pro Apple Silicon comes, which undoubtedly will have even more...

Apple has released the first beta version of macOS Monterey 12.1 for Mac users participating in the beta system software testing program. The beta build presumably focuses on bug fixes and enhancements to the macOS Monterey operating system, and also includes some features that were skipped in the initial release, including SharePlay support.

windows server 2003 r2 sp2 I created a domain acocunt called domain\username and added that account to the "log on as batch" and "log on as service" and "backup files and directories" in local security policy. When the job runs the log shows access denied. To clarify I set the job to run with the account I created and with the correct password which I also validated. I notice the job will only run if I add the above account to the adminsitrator group and I do not want to do that. What other priviliges are needed for a scheduled task job to run without adding it to the administrator group? Any help is grealty appreciated thank you.

This is not necessarily a question but more of a statement. Microsoft, I installed fresh install of Win 10 pro. I ran Edge for a bit and it was pretty fast. I needed to look at video on youtube, oh... I'd say about 3 minutes after I installed windows 10 because that's what we do with freaking browsers!... And guess what I got... "NO SUPPORT FOR VIDEO FORMAT ERROR"... that is stupid Microsoft. I will not trouble shoot it, I will not look on a forum to figure out why it isn't working, I will not spend one ounce of my time trying to fix Edge browser not working with Youtube. I installed Google Chrome and guess what? It works fine. If you want to be accepted by the…

Hey there, for some time now I have this weird problem that I sometimes have short freezes. For instance when I type the cursor will just stop and for a second it will buffer my keyboardinput and just releases it when the freeze stops. Same goes when playing, which is even far worse. When I play starcraft 2 a second of freeze is just unacceptable. I have literally no idea whats causing this. I tested my RAM with memtest, removed all harddrives except my M.2, tried with intel integrated graphics, tried different displays with different settings without success. My setup is: asrock z370 extreme4 Intel i7 8700k (not overclocked) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-2300 DIM…

I have encountered a number of directories that now show incorrect “properties” information after the recent Windows 10 upgrade to the 1803 Feature Update. Most directories that I have looked at still show valid information. But in some specific directories the calculated size, number of files, and number of folders is wildly inaccurate. Prior to the 1803 update, the information appeared to be valid for these directories that are now in question. From one of these subdirectories, the “CNT +” subdirectory should include everything below it. By just taking a brief look at the immediate subdirectories it can easily be seen that they describe more utilized space, n…

Folder sizes not reporting correct number of files or total size Win10 Prod build 1803 Hi everyone, Short story: Update 1803 borked my previous hard drive/OS during installation, so I decided to upgrade my boot drive and clean install since there was no recovering my old boot drive OS. I ran a (manual) backup of all of my files from my storage disks (to my external USB drive). Upon comparing folder sizes, I noticed certain folders on my backup drive had a significantly lower number of files and sizes were different. Did a bunch of troubleshooting (including trying a separate external USB drive)...fast forward to me trying the same (secondary) USB drive on my …

Hope to be fine here with this question. It is about Windows 10 2018 March operating on physical machine. It hosts Oracle Virtualbox Hypervisor with two Debian virtual machines on top of stack. Virtual machines want to get quite periodic updates (patches, fixes, security updates and so on). Quite every day except for weekends there are new updates. Currently they go through V.B. NAT network to Internet to fetch updates. Regarding generated traffic it is of double amount as each of two v.machines fetches same updates for itself separately. So to reduce the load of internet connection the idea is to setup on WSL cache-proxy for Debian package management used on …
