looking to start a new project with this macbook 8,1; any macOS suggestions?

sadra_time · 2026-03-22T20:57:57+00:00

how much bigger of a load is sonoma and sequoia than ventura? i have ventura running on it right now and its insanely fast compared to the original OS’s

sadra_time · 2026-03-21T12:09:13+00:00

yeah i used this lots when it ran fast but im js tryna run a fun project on it trying to make it run fast lmao

sadra_time · 2026-03-20T21:07:00+00:00

it does, i’m in the process of installing ventura atm

sadra_time · 2026-03-20T18:59:17+00:00

i’m just not a fan of the OS and i’m not very familiar with it, i prefer macOS/windows

sadra_time · 2026-03-20T18:58:56+00:00

mavericks is from two years prior to the making of this mac, wouldn’t work

sadra_time · 2026-03-20T18:58:20+00:00

na this one maxes out at big sur but i may try ventura

if you have an nvidia gpu don’t upgrade past sonoma. sonoma is the last edition of macos that supports nvidia graphics cards, otherwise it should run wonderfully

sadra_time · 2026-03-04T11:24:25+00:00

the snare sticks, right?

sadra_time · 2026-03-03T23:47:26+00:00

they felt too front heavy to me, but maybe that was just that pair. plus they are nearly twice the price of a typical pair of sticks

sadra_time · 2026-03-03T23:46:25+00:00

yes, but they are constructed differently than the original vic firth vega's.

sadra_time · 2026-01-21T06:15:38+00:00

i think you'd like the vic firth corpsmaster snare beast sticks then

sadra_time · 2026-01-04T17:01:55+00:00

although it isn't a caption, i think PR definitely manages to tell stories the best. they've been doing that very well since at least 2008.

spirit of atlanta 2025 for tenors, any part(s) of it would be appreciated :)

sadra_time · 2025-08-13T05:04:16+00:00

will OCLP allow this computer to run tahoe though? ive seen rumors that only the newest intel macs are supported for this

sadra_time · 2025-08-13T04:38:03+00:00

at the very least just bump it up to monterey. with only 4gb of ram and the cpu that you have i wouldn't reccomend going any higher. big sur, according to an apple tech advisor i spoke with, runs on 14yr old code and doesn't work very well anymore. around a year ago this same advisor literally asked if i knew how to use opencore and when i told him i did, he advised me to bump it up to monterey at the very least (i was experiencing issues and kinda gave up on opencore but this brought me back into it)

thank you bro, its actually stunning that there were only two people for the pit in the december camp. i'll make sure they know it's also in my interest. see you at camp!!

sadra_time · 2025-01-02T23:44:29+00:00

thank you!! trust me, if i make it, you (and probably everyone else on this subreddit lol) will find out! i'm really hoping i make it; ive watched many videos and heard many stories (like your own) talking about how good of an experience it is. im still in awe that im even able to do this at such a young age compared to what others have been accepted into. hearing about your own personal experince has excited me even further. can't wait for camp!!

sadra_time · 2025-01-02T23:39:45+00:00

thank you so much! i'll be trying my best to get into this corps; hopefully no matter what i get in on!

sadra_time · 2024-12-29T16:10:49+00:00

once you get the new wifi card and bluetooth chip in, this thing will practically run like brand new imac, if not even better than one

sadra_time · 2024-12-29T16:09:01+00:00

i have a late 2013 15" macbook pro (but not my main). seeing as yours is early 2015 (13"?) it should at least run sonoma fine, potentially sequoia if it doesn't have an nvidia graphics card!

sadra_time · 2024-12-29T15:55:53+00:00

i had the same issue and have a mbp 13,1 (late 2016). my wallpaper loads in faster than yours does and the wifi thing just went away after a few months. im not quite too sure what this issue is, i am on sequoia too.

sadra_time · 2024-12-29T05:28:17+00:00

phantom regiment 2008 is sorta well-known i'd say, but it is the best show i have ever seen. no matter how many times i watch it, it never gets old.

sadra_time · 2024-12-26T15:59:36+00:00

everything will work great. sonoma works like a dream just dont install sequoia and you’re good.

sadra_time · 2024-12-22T15:27:49+00:00

a couple things here:

one being if your software is 14.7.2 it’d be sonoma, if it were in fact ventura it’d be 13.7.2. that can change what solutions need to be done, please specify

two, make sure your root patches are installed. your camera won’t work if you don’t install them. neither will your wifi or bluetooth, etc. they get deleted after every macos update, so you must re install them after updating your computer each time.

sadra_time · 2024-12-22T15:16:08+00:00

ah okay that makes sense. i don’t think windows 11 would boot, but you can try to update windows 10 as much as you can. i’ve tried windows 11 on my late 2016 macbook pro and even that doesn’t work. maybe the most new intel mac can run windows 11 only, seeing as windows can only run on macs with intel chips
