@LockDown there are multiple such apps for Windows. You should be able to find one with a search. I'm not aware of similar apps for macOS, but they may exist, too. If you don't want to find the app, there are published test results that you can find with a search. EDIT: I stand corrected. I did measure Radeon dGPU power in macOS. See here.

@ird It's going to take me a little longer to test a 65W EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini with i5-8600, because the only such unit that I have includes a motherboard that I tinkered with while attempting to produce a 65W motherboard with RX 560x dGPU. I de-soldered / re-soldered components on this particular motherboard and while it "works", its multi-core performance is lousy. It appears that I have caused some kind of thermal problem in the CPU power MOSFETS. They get insanely hot during GB6 multi-core tests, so the motherboard (fortunately) throttles CPU speed and never achieves full multi-core performance. If someone else can test the EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini 65W with i5-8600 / 230W power supply, that would save me some trouble of piecing together a new test system. By the way, if you're curious about my attempts to create a 65W G4 Mini motherboard with RX 560x dGPU, the short answer is that I failed after multiple attempts. The long answer involves destroying one 65W motherboard, destroying one 35W motherboard, crippling another 65W motherboard (the one I was hoping to use for this GB6 test) and burning up a m.2 NVMe SSD. The benefit of this exercise is that I now own a soldering heat gun, learned how to de-solder and solder components with a heat gun and I created my own soldering hot plate. It was a rather time-consuming, expensive experiment.

OT What app to know how much power drawn?

macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 is just around the corner

Initial work to update the app to Golden Gate. macOS icon courtesy of @chris1111

@kgp About This Hack needs to be updated to Golden Gate. New icon and the rest. Working on it.

@fantomas As @Slice said “Where user may exchange information about using different AI: Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek etc.” or something like this.

This time a sequential OTA update of just 10 GB! With macOS 27 beta 2 (26A5368g), Apple appears to have fixed the following issues on my MacBook Pro M1: Keyboard and trackpad now work immediately after waking from sleep or opening the lid. No Wi-Fi issues after waking from sleep or opening the lid. Secondary click now works perfectly when configured as "Click in Bottom Right Corner". Interestingly, Apple released Kernel Debug Kit macOS 26.7 build 26A5368g, apparently confusing macOS 27 beta 2 with macOS 26.7.

Kernel Debug Kit 26.6 build 25G5043d is also available on Dortania's KDK mirror, and OCLP correctly selects the direct KDK match for macOS 26.6 beta 2. Thanks to Apple for choosing the correct KDK nomenclature this time. 😄 Modern Audio, modern Wi-Fi, AirDrop, AirPlay, Screen Mirroring, Personal Hotspot, Continuity Camera, and sleep/wake continue working flawlessly with my BCM943602CDP. Interestingly, both Apple and Dortania's KDK mirror also expose Kernel Debug Kit 26.7 build 26A5368g. However, 26A5368g is in fact the build number of macOS 27 beta 2, which means Apple has apparently introduced yet another KDK nomenclature flaw by confusing macOS 27 with macOS 26.7.

Does Apple like spoilers?

I have included version 1.0.1 in the link from the first post. I have also uploaded it to GitHub (the source code will be made available soon). This version includes a kext I developed called BlueWakeFixup, which fixes the issue where Bluetooth does not turn on after the PC wakes from sleep on some Wi-Fi adapters, such as my BCM4352. I hope it will be useful to some people.

I just installed macOS Catalina 10.15.7 on my HP EliteBook 850 G7 laptop, because I'm doing some testing that may benefit from the older macOS and the first MBP16,2 Macs were shipped with Catalina. Not much of a surprise, but the installation was effortless and without any issues. macOS detected the recently released 10.15.8 / Safari updates and applied them without issues. The credit for this goes to the Open Core and Kext Devs who have continue to maintain backward compatibility. With exactly the same EFI, this laptop boots Catalina through Tahoe. Thank you OC Devs and all the supporting Devs who continue to provide us with the essential Kexts. You have made our hackintosh journeys possible. Posting this with Safari Version 15.6.1 (15613.3.9.1.16, 15613) in Catalina 10.15.8 and it still works! About This Hack EDIT: I'm using the same version of itlwm.kext (2.3.0) and Heliport (1.5.0) to enable Intel Wi-Fi across the different versions of macOS.

After InsanelyWine it comes InsanelyAI. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/898-insanelyai/ P.S: I just made a copy of InsanelyWine forum (layout, permissions), tell me what we should put in the forum description.

You could review the Dortania link that I provided for you in my previous post. If you are considering the replacement to be temporary (I'm not so sure about that, but let's assume you're correct), then maybe you don't want to purchase another card. If the iGPU works well enough for you, that's clearly your lowest power option at the moment.

Is Adobe Photoshop obsolete?

As a temporary solution until NootRX is released, I can install an RX 570 4 GB card in the computer, but it consumes more power. Is there any other card that draws very little power and will work on Tahoe? or keep the RX 6400 and plug the cable into the integrated graphics port.

@Green206 I imagine that your searches returned the same as mine. Reddit: "6400 and 6500xt are Navi 24 .. there is No driver for them (also quite bad GPUs)" ChatGPT: Short answer: No — the AMD Radeon RX 6400 is not supported in macOS (including Tahoe). Dortania: "Unsupported cards include RX 6300, RX 6400..." The optimistic posts I found said to "wait for NootRX update" NootRX: Still says "Nav24 support coming soon"

I have an RX 6400 card; is it possible to get it running on Tahoe?

Creating avatars for the YouTube channel with a nod to TV shows and movies from the 70s to the 90s, avatar change here. Asking questions on various AI forums like ChatGTP, Google, and Grok about Hackintosh topics, but also historical and psychological ones; it's a new beginning that's going to change our lives. I've worked in graphic design and prepress, and what used to take a long time to make a poster is now instantaneous.

I use ChatGPT to create avatars. I think this is a great idea. 😀

@Slice, I mainly use ChatGPT nowadays for documentation, improving my English and Spanish, brainstorming, troubleshooting, log analysis, code analysis, code debugging and sometimes creating avatar and cover graphics or drive icon template concepts. Although most of the actual work still has to be done by myself, ChatGPT has indeed become a valuable friend and companion. 😄
