Question about com.apple.telemetry.plugin

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Just installed Catalina 10.15.7 olarila image a week ago on an LGA 755 C2D E8400 (SSE 4.1)

Everything works great, except sleep and replaced com.apple.telemetry.plugin to the old telemetry from High Sierra and SMBIOS to iMac 14,1 (sleep doesn't work for me anyway in iMac 10,1 SMBIOS)

Now, there is a pending catalina security update 2021-002 waiting to be installed and I'm just wondering if I need to replace the com.apple.telemetry.plugin (from High Sierra) again after I update and/or every updating my system?

Thanks!

System Specs:

C2D E8400 3.0ghz (SSE 4.1 instruction)

HDD 500GB (APFS)

4GB RAM 800MHZ

NVIDIA GT 730 2GB GDDR5
