IMHO, the human brain is a mystery—the most complex organ with the most intricate mechanisms in the universe. The reason AI still can't compete with our brain is simply due to our power of reasoning and our ability to find solutions to the problems we are presented with. This ability was perfected over millions of years, whereas AI has only been around for about 20 years or so. The speed at which AI can operate is amazing, and the way it improves is truly stunning. But there is a caveat: the reasoning and thinking process of AI is completely based on our knowledge and the data we give it. It's not perfect, it's not complete, and it's still evolving. As a developer, you have a wealth of experience doing what you do; no AI model can compete with what your brain can achieve just yet. It is you who controls the AI, not the other way around (yet!). AI still has a long way to go, but using tools to solve our problems and make things easier is one of our most amazing traits. AI is a great tool for a lot of tasks, but the human thought process is our most distinctive ability—the one that separates us from any other species on Earth (though I'm not sure about the entire universe!). Working with AI makes me feel like I have a great team of programmers and coders at my disposal, but we are still the ones who must point them in the right direction. Sometimes, AI simply lacks the vision and skills to find the correct solution. When I want AI to do something for me, it's never as easy as saying, "Create an app that does this or that." It requires giving it specific, detailed instructions, reviewing the output over and over, and debugging and testing until I get the results I want. Sometimes, the output still isn't what I looked for—so I completely agree with you there. But what amazes me is how rapidly AI is evolving. When I first started using it, it genuinely felt like my early days of learning how to work with computers. It was, and still is, incredibly exciting. Is it perfect? No. Is it fun? Yes! Do I need to learn a new language? Yes—I need to learn how to tell the AI exactly what I want and how to direct it to get the results I'm looking for. Many giant companies use AI to write their code, but our supervision and problem-solving abilities remain the most critical part of the equation.

Keep it coming @kgp 👌 If I recall, there was a fork of itlwm trying to merge all the patches into a single AirportItlwm. can't seem to find it anymore

no worries @MaLd0n we're here till the end of tahoe 😁

Yeah! Thanks!!

Hi @LockDown , for my earlier itlwm/HeliPort tests, I used HeliPort 1.5.0 from the official OpenIntelWireless repository: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/HeliPort Just to avoid any confusion: my current experimental OCLP/AirportItlwm setup described here does not use HeliPort. HeliPort is only required when using itlwm.kext. I am currently working privately on my own AirportItlwm development branch, using @DexterSLamb’s itlwm/AirportItlwm fork merely as the initial code base: https://github.com/DexterSLamb/itlwm My own work specifically focuses on AWDL/AirDrop functionality. These modifications are not part of Dexter’s fork, and none of my own development work has been published yet.

@MakAsrock I added the framebuffer entries and immediately after rebooting, the bluetooth stopped working, so I removed the framebuffer entries, rebooted and the bluetooth was back. Could it be related to the softpowerplaytable that I also have defined which conflicts with the framebuffer? If yes, why would the bluetooth stop working? It's a behaviour that quite frankly I don't understand. At least the freezing stopped after tweaking the indexing settings and remove the garbage in the config file.

HI @kgp which Heliport repo are you using?

@MakAsrock thanks for the tip! I’ll verify this definitely. I also inadvertently left some residuals from the BCM card that I replaced with the Intel Ax210 last week and this could have been causing problems too. @deeveedee I did disable indexing for some folders and non-Mac drives and it seems to be better now. I also cleaned up the config file as I noticed I left some stuff related to the AppleBCMWLANCompanion kext that I no longer use after I put back the Intel AX210 card. I’m hoping that I don’t get any freezing going forward.

The author quickly fixed this issue, and the patcher worked, but I couldn't log in afterward because wifip2pd, which is required but incompatible with Tahoe, was installed. The only thing that helped me was this: 1. sudo mount -uw /Volumes/SN850 2. sudo bless --mount /Volumes/SN850 --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot I won't be testing it again because it's broken. 😉

Your problem isn't related to Spotlight indexing pushing the CPU too hard. It's related to the RX-6600 card, or more specifically, the buggy default framebuffer. I solved this issue with a named framebuffer. Added properties: <key>DeviceProperties</key> <dict> <key>Add</key> <dict> <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,name</key> <string>ATY,Henbury</string> <key>@1,name</key> <string>ATY,Henbury</string> <key>@2,name</key> <string>ATY,Henbury</string> <key>@3,name</key> <string>ATY,Henbury</string> </dict> </dict> <key>Delete</key> <dict/> </dict> Now this card died and I installed AMD Radeon RX 5700XT It has the same problems, but the properties are different: <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1.0x0)/Pci(0x0.0x0)/Pci(0x0.0x0)/Pci(0x0.0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,name</key> <string>ATY,Adder</string> <key>@1,name</key> <string>ATY,Adder</string> <key>@2,name</key> <string>ATY,Adder</string> <key>@3,name</key> <string>ATY,Adder</string> </dict> </dict> <key>Delete</key> <dict/> </dict> I'm still using 26.5.2 and don't have any problems anymore. 😉

Smooth update. Is this really RC5?!?!

I had been putting off the Easy Mount EFI update for quite some time. When I finally decided to resume development, I ran into an unexpected setback: my NVMe SSD failed, and I lost a significant portion of my projects. Unfortunately, due to my own oversight, I didn't have an up-to-date backup, which made the loss even greater. It was a difficult experience, but certainly a valuable lesson. Despite that, I was able to complete the new version of Easy Mount EFI, and it is now available for everyone to test.

Smooth incremental update after temporarily disabling bluetoolfixup.kext. 26.5.2 is still my "production" macOS while I continue to test 26.6 Beta in a separate test volume. Have you tried to improve Spotlight performance by disabling indexing of some apps / content and customizing search privacy to disable indexing of some volumes?

Hello Everyone! I know some of you just installed the new 26.6 beta earlier today, so maybe it’s too early for an answer/ get feedback: have you seen any noticeable improvement(s) / fixes when compared to 26.5.2? Sometimes I have random freezes caused by the Spotlight indexing pushing the CPU too much and I read somewhere that this is a known issue in 26.5.

A lot of reverse engineering is needed to get to the app creator's level; it's definitely going to be a good game with Slice, Maldon, other people, and an AI. Good luck to everyone

Thanks for the awesome work of @miliuco! Perfect Sparkle Update from version 4.4.6 to version 4.4.7.

I tried everything possible to fix this but nothing happended and used several values of shikigva config.plist

I can test the update for sure

I'm working on voodoo for full combo-jack and other things but it's just for fun and to improve a little on what's already good and honestly, audio is really complicated!... fry our brains.

Big Update is comming and we need test it!

Another smooth, incremental update after temporarily disabling bluetoolfixup.kext
