My USB keyboard is randomly stops working. I have to sleep and wake my build to make it work again.
Download Hackintool to confirm your ports are working properly. This is also a handy tool to see all of your active kexts, check for updates etc. I often use it to update my kexts.

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?

Coffee lake clean update with OpenCore from Catalina to Monterrey (upgrade OpenCore for dummies)
It seems that since Big Sur 11.3+, Apple changed the way it reads the USBs and requires them to be declared. That is about as technical as I can get about it. I foundthis really cool video>! by TechNolli explaining a very easy and foolproof way to map the USBs in your computer using !

Hello everyone, Hackintosh noob here! First time installing osx on my pc but facing some issues. Was hoping if someone could help me to set up the graphics and fix sound not working. I’d really appreciate. More information in comments
For the graphics then. It's a hard one. I know that the subreddit doesn't really like using tools, but I've found that Hackintool's graphics patcher is a great way to fix your graphic acceleration. Here's a great guide on how to fix graphics acceleration. It's a bit outdated, but if you get stuck somewhere hmu in a dm and I will try to help you

Lenovo T530. BigSur 11.6.4/OC 0.7.8
Can't emphasize enough for anyone new - take the time and get a basic understanding of how ACPI tables work. Tools used - OpenCore 0.7.8, ProperTree, ssdtprgen, iASL (MaciASL), SSDTTime, and Hackintool for exploring the Hardware and IOReg. i'm averaging 2:45 on battery; for reference - it's roughly 4 in Windows, and less than 2 in Kubuntu 22.04
- Check OpenCore version on bootable USB (Big Sur)
- Hackintoshing and need a solution? THE ANSWER IS HERE!
- It boots. Thinkpad T450. But Intel WiFi card is not working. OpenCore 0.7.2.

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.
https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/203#issuecomment...
I have been using Yabai for two years now and am very happy. For me, it's stable and you can script almost anything by using event reactors.
Yabai also makes working with a 15" display much more productive imho. For example, I can effortlessly and nearly instantaneously switch between browser and coding spaces by pressing hyper + w / hyper + x (I'm using Karabiner Elements to map capslock to hyper).
Since it's a common misconception, you do NOT need to disable SIP if you don't care about some features (noticeably, disabling those nasty space switch animations). For an overview of features that require SIP to be partially disabled:
https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
Also in general, the wiki on GitHub is very well-written.
You do lose some features[0] but I've found the only ones I really care about is focusing spaces, and you can create keyboard shortcuts for that in System Settings.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling.
> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly
This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.
For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.
https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai
For instance requires SIP to be disabled.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition to another space.
Apparently this is possible with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with.
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.
