Engineers in Apple's new automotive division are using Hackintosh because the current Mac Pro is too goddamn slow.

Do you think engineers have to use all the products they make? you think the creator of the moto G uses a Moto G? You think the engineers behind the dell Inspiron use a Dell Inspiron?
>>53943974
I'd be surprised if the opposite was true, nobody ever bought a Mac for 3D work, I would wager that even their hardware engineers likely don't run OS X.

Immediate "termination".

People who do iCloud back-end shit all have a personal Linux server sitting somewhere in their office.
It's rare for developers working on software running natively on an Apple platform to use non-Apple hardware though.

So, if Microsoft uses a machine that runs QNX to manufacture Lumia, Microsoft lost?
Isnt the whole OS oriented to multimedia designing? Engineers arent on that track
>>53944401
No, because although Microsoft might run other operating systems in their machines, no one uses Mac hOmoSeX.
>>53944480
>nobody at Microsoft uses OS X
How did they make this then?
>>53944449
Most engineers at google use either osx or linux.
>>53943998
I saw a video from their lab once, they had PCs with Windows XP installed to operate the machines used to test devices.
>>53944675
sure, at the EMS in China. Apple doesn't make their own products, in case you didn't know

Is it really a Hackintosh if Apple puts it together themselves? Or is it merely a Mac that only Apple gets to use?
>>53944986
The actual definition of hackintosh lies solely with the lack of apple's device id embedded in the low level services like firmware and bios
Older macs used to come with chips on the board that would verify the legitimacy of the hardware at boot
Idk if theyre still doing that or if they came up with a different solution since the chip's task can be emulated
It was basically hardware drm
About as intelligent as apple drones themselves
>>53944675
so fucking what.
those xp-machines allow apple to annihilate Microsoft in every market they're in. ;^)
>>53943974
Sauce ?
>>53945493
Apple kinda stopped trying to stop people doing Hackintosh.
There aren't anything in the OS X that prevents people from running on non-genuine hardware anymore.
Most Hackintosh users were able to upgrade from Yosemite to El Capitan using the regular OS X upgrade process with no issue other than a few USB ports not working until loading a patched kext.

Well, DSMOS.kext (The kernel extension whose only purpose in life is to stop OS X from running on non-intel hardware by making the SMC hardware mandatory) is still in the system.
I don't know whether they use it or not (it could honestly be, on compatible hardware it's pretty goddamn good).
I'm using hackintosh as sort of a gateway. I need my adobe tools, but not games that much. I'm dual booting and I haven't used Windows in about a whole month, I'm starting to think it's pointless. This hasn't worked in -years- for dual booting Windows and a linux distro for me. I always went back to Windows.
I just like this OS, with the flaws it has. It still works better for me than installing whatever average popular distro at the moment. And I'm fairly sure I'll be using linux at some point but hackintosh has been working mighty fine here.
Someone please make an up to date guide to hackintosh.
>>53947992
Honestly, the one in tonymac worked fairly well for me. Sure enough the extra step before it is to put it on USB which involves either having access to another computer with OSX (or a Mac) or using a virtual machine for this purpose.
I also have had people telling me I should just remove clover and install refind, but I just can't bother. I don't even know why I would do that anyways.

Well my father worked on the intellimouse and he uses one

tell your dad he's a massive fucking faggot for discontinuing one of the best mice in the world

He thinks Microsoft are the faggots, he despises the company nowadays. He's switched careers now because his division was basically a sinking ship, he currently works with industrial solutions for train companies or something. He's frequently traveling to all kinds of places to make sure everything works.
He's also previously worked on the original Bluetooth patents, some of the gps hardware that ended up in the iphones, and military technology (he has some story about working with the Israelis, and he basically said there is reason not to trust them).
He once had to fly to England to fix some major bug he found when my xbox wouldn't connect to the Internet (he constantly brought home equipment he worked on and used it in our home), I was young and felt almost a bit proud because it felt like I'd found something :3
I'm proud of having him as my father

>he has some story about working with the Israelis, and he basically said there is reason not to trust them
How exactly? I'm curious about this
>>53949096
I honestly can't remember how the story goes. It was something about their use of surveillance equipment which he found laughably sad.
>>53943974
Not surprised, when was the last time they upgraded their trashcan model?
>>53948696
Please thank your father for me.
Still using the same intellimouse after 15 years
>>53951328
Never.
Still sell them for the same price today as they were brand new in 2013!

Three years ago.
Even Premiere Pro render jobs take forever on Mac Pro.
No, it's because 90% of relevant engineering software is windows exclusive. Never heard of anyone doing CAD on osx or linux professionally.

It's machine vision engineers, not CAD/CAM designers, who have switched to Hackintoshes.
This is a new development.
>>53943974
Apple traditionally has been a couple years behind hardware wise and its gotten worse since they switched to their trash can mac pro.
Its gotten really far behind as they have focused more on the Mobil shit. In the end when you add in cpus not getting huge gains a mac pro these days is barely better then the ones that look like ops pic.
Which is sad because coding for apple is a thing and would go smoother (even if you do as much work on linux as possible) if you had a good mac pro with your other computers.
>>53954332
Also does this mean hackintosh will be easier now? Cause I might actually build one for mobile development.
>>53944040

>>53952989
Hackintosh is running osx on non apple hardware. Retard.
>>53943974
Its like linux devs with macbooks and distro they work on in vm
>>53944263

You think apple built this testing machine you fucking moron?
>>53954372
Probably since their own developers use Hackintoshes.

or just use a macbook as a comfy terminal and SSH to an actual fucking server running your distro for work like a normal human bean
