It’s done in a similar way on macOS: a dylib is added to the bundle and an LC_LOAD command is added to the app binary. The dylib is the first thing that runs because of using the constructor attribute, like this: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Injecting%20a%20DYLIB%20into%...
The nice thing is that a signed app will refuse to load a dylib that does not have the same signature. So crackers will be forced to change the whole app signature which can be easily detected in app code.
I have that kind of protection in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) and Clop (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) and it seems to be good enough as they have no recent cracks.
Project mention: I’m part of the club now! My first MacBook ever, and my very first time using MacOS. | /r/macbook | 2023-06-19Control your TouchBar
If the sticky keys come back, you can use software like this to mitigate it reasonably well.
Project mention: Nice | /r/linuxmasterrace | 2023-07-02Is this website out of date? Saying audio and wifi not working on several models still. Looks like it was updated a few years ago though.
Install fan control from this repo: https://github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan
Project mention: Windows users report appearance of unwanted HP app | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-05There is a delay, I had to install this software to fix it: https://github.com/gkpln3/CapsLockNoDelay
That said, displays can technically go beyond the maximum (after all, it already does for HDR contents). It's "possible" in the sense people can do it. https://github.com/niklasr22/BrightIntosh
Project mention: Apple's new 80% battery limit feature should not be limited to the iPhone 15 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-18That's true. I evaluated it, but it wasn't of use to me as I keep my Macbook plugged in with the lid closed.
I eventually tried this instead :
https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit
I use it to keep my battery level indicator pegged at 70%. Often doesn't persist after a system update, but it's just a quick terminal command to reapply the setting.
I use my Macbook in clamshell mode, and I use sleep mode when I'm not using it - receiving power from a Thunderbolt dock. It's handy to pick up exactly where I left off on resume. Plus, I use two LG screens where one of the two doesn't switch on after a cold boot, and it's annoying to unplug and replug to activate it. Sleep mode gets around that.
