Wojtek Pietrusiewicz:

I built my last hackintosh in 2014 and it was overdue for an update. Since Apple recently updated their iMac with Core i9s and skipped the T2, this is probably the last time I’m building this sort of computer, before MacOS is locked down forever.

I wish Wojtek had expanded on that last bit, but it does feel as if the Mac is heading down the road of getting more and more locked down. And as far as I know, there’s no way to add a T2 to your own build, so if that ever becomes a requirement for a Mac, that’d be that. (Please do correct me if I’m wrong about that).

Add to that Apple’s recent moves towards all macOS software being notarized. From Apple:

Beginning in macOS 10.14.5, software signed with a new Developer ID certificate and all new or updated kernel extensions must be notarized to run. Beginning in macOS 10.15, all software built after June 1, 2019, and distributed with Developer ID must be notarized. However, you aren’t required to notarize software that you distribute through the Mac App Store because the App Store submission process already includes equivalent security checks.

Another sign of macOS lockdown. Could this be the last days of Hackintosh?

All that aside, if you are interested in building your own Hackintosh, this is a pretty build, lots of pictures.
