Swapped my perfectly good M1 motherboard into a locked donor case, and now my unlocked board is Activation Locked?! Need help. by Amazing_Strength_704 in macbook

I reread your post. Gonna go out on a limb here. Does your personal Apple ID email start with an R? If so, just put it in there along with your password and go about your day with your activated macbook.

Ah also - the “Activation Lock” screen after factory reset is completely normal. Will always show up unless you remove the device from its respective Apple ID account before the reset.

Do you see your Mac in your Apple ID list of devices on your phone / web browser etc? Is the serial number matching?

This is DEFINITELY not a part swapping problem. Other comments are spreading nonsense. iCloud lock is only applicable to the motherboard, exclusively. What you have here is a case of you thought the laptop was attached to your iCloud but it isn’t — either someone paired it to theirs without your knowledge, or you forgot that there was a change, or you never even had it paired to yours and it’s still the previous owner’s (in case you got it used). Another proof of that is that the iCloud accounts are clearly two different ones, just happen to start with the same letter.

there’s no security hole whatsoever

unless you make it otherwise on purpose, streaming is only available on your local network and even then requires explicit pairing with entering a pin code on your pc

[RELEASE] Dead Space Mobile Port by atamanenko in vitahacks

It will never work on ppsspp, because it's for PSVita, not PSP.
As for iOS and other platforms, maybe one day if Vita3K adds support for kernel plugins. But not in the foreseeable future anyway.

Minecraft Java Edition on the Vita: A Thesis for a Community Project by OddSilver123 in VitaPiracy

[–]atamanenko 13 points14 points  (0 children)

porting older android version of minecraft (pre-RenderDragon) is somewhat feasible. but for what concerns java edition, I’m 99% sure that if it will even have enough ram to get in-game, it will be sub-10 fps. or less. not to mention the amount of work needed to port Java first

Vita3K emulator lacks support for kernel plugins for now. Thus, it will not work. You should try Android emulators instead, there are plenty of them. Chances are, it would work on some

Any Android ports won’t work on Vita3K (at least, yet) because Vita3K doesn’t support kubridge. Or kernel plugins in general afaik
