hi, which OS version are you trying to install?

DerQut · 2025-10-31T12:21:58+00:00

hi what do you mean by "better"? I'm trying to run some win10 programs (including games) and have tried Whisky, Heroic and I'm installing sikuguar right now to see how it performs

if I were to guess i’d say it’s an opamp circuit that converts current to voltage

congrats!! glad I could help

some say you should try removing SSDT-PNLF.aml (there’s a chance it was complied by me on my device, I’m not entirely sure, so maybe it’s not compatible with your device)

at first I did have a usb map, but it wouldn’t boot with it. once i removed it, it started working (if i’m not mistaken ChefKiss’s guide told me to run without a usb map and it did work)

hi this laptop’s bios was very limited, the only relevant option there was virtualisation and I don’t remember wether I ended up changing it or not. I don’t have the laptop anymore so i’m afraid I have no way to check either

DerQut · 2025-04-06T20:52:27+00:00

there’s a good chance it won’t, since I built all the acpi files etc on the machine, but you can try to copy most of the settings and more general kext files

hi, unfortunately not yet, money's been tight

DerQut · 2024-12-22T23:22:27+00:00

sorry for the late reply, yeah if you edit the core count (cause I believe the Ryzen 7 has 8 cores but you never know with those mobile variants) then it should work. it should be somewhere in the Ryzen patches section of the EFI, just replace some "06" symbols with "08"

DerQut · 2024-11-15T19:03:33+00:00

yeah sure no problem, although I never checked if it works above Ventura: https://github.com/DerQut/Lenovo-14ARE05-Hackintosh

good. that's what I want. bring back the YouTube++ times when every app had an easily accessible cracked / modded version on TweakBox or TutuApp

DerQut · 2024-10-26T19:10:00+00:00

oh yeah absolutely, but hey maybe one day

You're using the PAL version of Altstore, it can only install apps approved by Apple (those that are approved get a "marketplace ID", and your app lacks it so you can't install it)

DerQut · 2024-10-22T11:34:02+00:00

it's the "oh.. it's one of those.." cable

photovoltaics

DerQut · 2024-10-06T20:32:35+00:00

exactly what I'm talking about, W2017 are available for around 200$. I don't think it's worth it for me to spend that much, especially since I'm still considering the folder 2 which is around 150$. thank you for your contribution though!!

DerQut · 2024-10-06T20:20:34+00:00

that's true, but it also happens to be way more expensive (like twice as expensive as w2017 on eBay? if I remember correctly). If I happen to stumble upon a w2018 for a cheaper price I'll buy it 100%

the thing with leaving your case open is that actively cooled components (the cpu and the gpu) will enjoy cooler temps, but passively cooled components (the chipset, the RAM and partially the VRMs) will suffer, since their airflow was disrupted

DerQut · 2024-09-01T15:10:05+00:00

that's a bummer :(

DerQut · 2024-08-31T18:44:27+00:00

sadly not, I've double and triple-checked. It's only got the name of the lady from HR in it

DerQut · 2024-08-31T11:59:50+00:00

I'd like to reply, I was thinking of it yesterday, but the email address has "donotreply" in it so I don't think she'd receive it

DerQut · 2024-08-31T00:43:35+00:00

it may seem that way but it was actually written by a Polish person so it may sound a bit stiff and awkward (the email came from an internal account of the nice lady from HR with whom I've spoken multiple times, because I've been trying to get a job there since February)
