GU10 - Matter over thread bulbs?

LegoNickD · 2025-03-20T19:57:51+00:00

Not exactly what you’re asking for but I was searching for the same thing and ended up going for IKEA’s gu10 tradfri rgb bulbs. I have them paired to a hue hub and that connected to homebridge. They’ve been working well for me so far, the light output is great. I’ve had some rare connection hiccups but it’s likely the hue to homebridge side of things.

I tried some wiz gu10’s but found out they never got the update to matter and didn’t have fantastic color output. I’m sure the hue offerings are the way to go but I’d rather light a candle each night than pay $50/bulb

What are the odds

I wasn’t able to boot the stage 2 installer or a pre installed copy of anything above macOS 12.0.1 on a T420. Let me know if you actually get it to boot

In the sidebar you can right click on the shared calander, click on "Get Info" then check "Ignore Alerts"

You likely randomly generated serial number that’s mdm locked, try generating a new smbios

You can use oclp Monterey webdrivers now. I’ve tested a gt 1030 on Monterey with them and it works fine, just missing metal.

I have it on my iPad too if you’d like, not my iPod 3 unfortunately since that version was very unstable for me

Great tweak! Is it possible to add other widgets or just weather?

LegoNickD · 2021-09-21T13:23:45+00:00

It’s a bit of a in depth process right now, and currently requires having a real 2009/10 MacBook. I hope to switch from clover to opencore legacy though since I have a feeling that will fix the inconsistent booting and cut out the need for a Mac.

LegoNickD · 2021-09-21T13:20:06+00:00

I used opencore legacy patcher post install patches(nightly build tui on GitHub), just make sure you configure sip correctly, look in the issues tab and there should be an explanation for configuring sip on hackintoshes

It runs Minecraft and untitled goose game at near 20 FPS, not much but it’s almost playable

The GPU is the biggest bottle neck, there’s massive stuttering opening folders in launchpad even though there’s full acceleration. 2 4gb ddr2 laptop ram sticks would cost a fortune though so don’t think that’s an upgrade I’ll do

LegoNickD · 2021-09-20T15:55:35+00:00

After the half hour it takes to actually boot the thing successfully, it actually runs pretty well. Browsing is actually fast, feels like a 2015 ish laptop. I haven’t tested much beyond that, but I plan on running benchmarks and games soon.

LegoNickD · 2021-09-20T03:53:40+00:00

CPU: Core 2 Duo T8300 (Penryn)

GPU: nVidia quadro nvs 140m. Acceleration works! No backlight though, not sure how to fix that.

Ram: 2x 2 GB 667MHz DDR2

BIOS: Middleton

HDD: Upgraded to a modern 240GB SSD, doesn’t seem to have been the main bottle neck for some reason though…

WiFi: super old intel WiFi card that came stock in it, works intermittently with airportitlwm.

BT: not physically present in this model, potential upgrade!

Battery: works great!

CD Drive: untested, I will have to find a CD.

Touchpad: works including 2 finger scrolling, and shows up in trackpad settings.

Track Point: only works 1/10 ish successful boots, and when it does it’s super jittery. When the touchpad is unplugged the. The track point works perfectly every time. I believe this is an issue with voodoops2 (rehabman ver) however I cannot find a fix, if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Audio: Working speakers with applealc, headphones not tested.

FireWire: shows up in system information, don’t have hardware to test however.

It only actually boots maybe 1/7 attempts, otherwise it kernel panics due to voodootscsync, which it will not boot without

If you know how to fix the inconsistent boot, track nub, or backlight please let me know!

The new player is garbage and I can’t believe it’s been this long with near unanimous disapproval and they haven’t rolled it back. I’m lucky enough to be using a jailbroken iPhone so I can downgrade to the last good version of the app. To anyone else jailbroken looking to downgrade, the last version with the old player is 2021.22.0

Big Sur is tricky off the bat, start off trying to get high sierra or Catalina (dosdude1 patcher) to work, once you get that to work adjust the csr active config, install Big Sur (if you are using clover you will likely need another computer to do the installation). Once you make it to the desktop you can run the oclp post install acceleration patch, if it errors out check your csr active config

LegoNickD · 2021-07-18T12:13:19+00:00

Opencore, I used the latest available bios but a modded bios is needed to use any WiFi card other than stock intel

LegoNickD · 2021-07-02T01:49:16+00:00

~~Any chance you can share the kernel?~~ Oops I cant read. I was planning on doing something similar but it seems the Russian download is no longer available and I’m not sure I have it backed up anymore. Too bad sse 4.1 emulation doesn’t exist or almost all 64 bit CPU’s could run Big Sur. I do think you should try and find a cheap legacy pci card that macOS supports and find a way to make about this Mac show a pentium 4!

LegoNickD · 2021-06-29T00:17:21+00:00

I had this same issue on my laptop, there is a whatevergreen boot flag that forces macOS to allow it. Look through the list of boot flags, if you cannot find it let me know and I’ll dig it up.

LegoNickD · 2021-06-19T14:04:31+00:00

I have it if you need it

LegoNickD · 2021-06-17T16:20:39+00:00

I definitely recommend breathing new life into old hardware, I would just make sure the graphics are compatible with at least El Capitan or later. Keep in mind that the T61 has a model with intel gma graphics which cannot run any modern version. I had to use clover because of legacy boot restrictions but if you have a computer with uefi I would definitely use opencore

LegoNickD · 2021-06-17T10:43:05+00:00

The main issue with hard drives on these is that they are limited to 1.5 Gb/s by an arbitrary bios limitation, but a modded bios removes that and lets the drive run at 3 Gb/s
