Yesterday I decided to pick up where I left off with the Hackintosh. I got it running, everything looked great. I read on my favorite Hackintosh web site that I could install the latest system update just like a regular Mac, so I did that… and not only is the Hackintosh unbootable, but my motherboard is now bricked! Ouch! I think I have learned my lesson about messing with Apple.
Fortunately my son has stopped using his computer. He was only using it for Minecraft, and apparently Terraria is way more awesome than Minecraft so his computer has been gathering dust. So I popped my hard drives in there and at least I still have a Windows machine, although the display settings are somewhat jacked up.
All of this nonsense started just so I could have a test environment where Firebase wouldn’t work, so I could see how the error handling played out. So I think I am just going to forget about that! I am certainly not going to go out and buy Apple products as a reward for weaponizing their OS. I don’t have the money to be an Apple customer anyway.
