MacOS 8 is still the best one At least linux lets you revert to a non-trash look, with modern windows and macos you're stuck with whatever flat spaced out garbage look the product managers decide is this years fad

the built-in LVM SAN disk management was horrible the HP ServiceGuard cluster software was a misconfigured nightmare none of the servers had ever been patched you were stuck using ancient shells things improved a little in 11.31 but most of these were running 11.11 the previous admin I took over from couldn't even get backspace working in the lovely terminal emulator they used and had to ctrl-c and start over each time he made a typo in the shell, it was a total shitshow and painful to watch him work I got gnu screen and bash installed on most of them in an attempt to keep my sanity I don't want to talk about it OK

Last year I had to janitor a HPUX box again and it made me hysterical. A boot mirror had a failed disk and the old UNIX guy who was actually supposed to know this stuff refused to do anything about it. http://wiki-ux.info/wiki/How_to_replace_a_LVM_mirror_boot_disk versus https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000019180 although really if the people who made these computers had made it a sane design, you should be able to pull the disk, insert a blank new one and have it rebuild everything automatically as long as there's no previous data on the new disk i swear they made these things as obtuse and time consuming as possible so their specialist engineers could charge $500/hr to drink coffee and stroke their beard because no customer would dare touch it on their own

Apple hasn't exactly made it difficult to steal macos, It feels more like they have some gentlemans agreement with Microsoft not to compete in the generic shitbox market The EULA states: "you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time." and that's why they include extra apple stickers in the box when you buy a mac. Just make sure to slap one on the case of your hackintosh

most Sound Blaster hardware was actually pretty decent for the time, especially the EMU10k DSP series on the Live and Audigy once you combined it with the third party kX drivers for windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc8XGxNrvp4 In the early 90s Creative bought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mu_Systems and from the chipset names it sounds like they handled the hardware designs well into the 2000s

If you buy an old G5 tower, gut it and stick a PC motherboard in there to hackintosh it, does it still count as an apple branded computer for licensing purposes?

thin laptops are not nice when you start to sacrifice things like modular components and, you know, screws it would be perfectly fine if they made a 13 and 15" version of the macbook for idiot executives but kept the older unibody design for people who want large batteries and actual functioning keyboard and cooling solutions

Does it handle nesting virtualization? Running windows through parallels in full screen mode on a mac is such a nice experience I don't think I'd be willing to lose out on it.

It's not pirated though? You install it from an unmodified Apple image  Just make sure your computer has an apple sticker on it somewhere so you're not in breach of the license agreement I'm not a huge enough nerd to audit the source code of Clover and FakeSMC but I highly doubt there's anything actively malicious in there. I'm sure you open up some new security holes for local code but if anything you are probably safer running on an obscure combination of hardware and random emulated EFI drivers with a tiny install base than you would be on highly standardized computers where the attacker can develop their exploit on a 100% identical machine. I guess none of it matters after apple inevitably switches to ARM laptops in 2020 and entirely refuses to run unsigned code

I really want to support AMD but they are still getting completely stomped by nvidia on graphics performance  https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa-183-end&num=4 At least I had an excuse to buy a couple midrange RX cards to get freesync on my arcade cabinet build and out-of-the-box graphics support on my mojave hackintosh

high end TV sets from late 2018 and going forward usually support freesync, variable refresh has become a part of the latest HDMI standard! It's partly great because it should make for a smoother gaming experience on big TV displays, but it also means that you will get perfect scrolling and the ability to sync with odd CRT refresh rates when emulating old stuff in retroarch and mame

the thing i hated the most about hpux was that you had to mknod almost all the device files for LVM yourself, there was very little automation and lots of places you could screw it up and lose data One of my fondest memories from work was scrapping a whole row of unix racks around 10 years ago

at least it doesn't get stuck forever there should really be some sort of mechanism to ctrl-c out of those hung jobs. I guess there would be a problem with jobs running in parallel but a keyboard shortcut to both decrease and increase those timeout counters on the fly would be pretty neat
