🖥️ Ah, another 42-minute snooze fest on Apple's #Darwin #OS - because who doesn't want to be serenaded by the sweet nothings of #Mach and #BSD kernels? 🎻 Spoiler alert: #XNU is still resilient and scalable, just like every other tech cliché #Apple has been peddling since the dawn of time. 🍏

On #Apple #Exclaves (M4 and A18 based systems). Exclaves are a new set of #security features that represent a significant enhancement for XNU’s traditional monolithic kernel. Exclaves refer to resources that are isolated from #XNU, protected even if the #kernel is compromised. These resources are pre-defined when the OS is built, are identified by name or id, have different types, are initialised at boot time, and are organized into unique domains. #SPTM protects exclave memory from XNU with new exclave-specific page types. https://randomaugustine.medium.com/on-apple-exclaves-d683a2c37194

Recently got my hands on a #thinkpad x240 and decided to #hackintosh it with #macos Mojave! Still trying to get the audio to work, but I think I can make it work eventually. It’s also my first ever successful Hackintosh! Let me know what you guys think!
