'OpenCore Computer' Launches Commercial Hackintosh
- gowld 6y agoArticle was updated. It's a scam.
- sneak 6y agoJust because they're not the same group as the software developers that make OpenCore doesn't mean that it's a scam in the hardware-for-sale sense. I mean, based on their approach to copyright law, it makes sense that they would have a similar reverence for trademarks.
- blacksmith_tb 6y agoI assume the possible scam is paying an anonymous bunch of people in BTC in the hopes that they ship you a working machine (also not sure how that works for support...). It seems like the Hackintosh community has gone to great lengths to test and recommend working hardware, so I am not sure why you'd want to gamble on buying something pre-fab (when I know I'd want to carefully double-check all their choices against those lists myself anyhow).
- gumby 6y agoAlso the term "Open Core" is used by some people to refer to software when the current release is proprietary and older releases are open source. Naming a hardware product for a software licensing model seems unlikely, but then again naming a hardware product after a boot loader seems likewise fairly unlikely. FWIW this is not a comment on the scam level, or lack thereof, of the company making prebuilt hackintoshes.
