Comment on New and Improved Mac OS Tutorial, Part 1 (The Basics) by Phil

I have tried the (implied) instructions given by Foxlet — "Note: You can skip this if you already have BaseSystem.img downloaded. If you have BaseSystem.dmg, you will need to convert it with the dmg2img tool."
I put the BaseSystem.img file from El Capitan in the directory and basic.sh runs all the way to the point of installing El Capitan and then I'm stuck because it wants to verify my eligibilty with Apple.
It seems like there should be some way to provide or link to the files on my El Capitan bootable USB, but how?

I'm already up and running on Mojave.
What would I have to do to make it work on El Capitan 10.11?

This is a TOTAL OPINION piece — and only YOUR OPINION. You obviously do not know how to use some of “what you call stopgap” programs. It is an insult to software programmers everywhere.

Comment on Stadia’s Hidden Limitation: Video Encoding by Mario Beaulieu

I saw a funny effect that I believe it’s due to a video encoding artefact

In a video, a drawing of a ladder is made on a sheet and then toy cars sent on the drawing
It looks like cars go under the ladder, and pausing the video the ladder actually appear to be over the car

This is the video on Twitter:

If someone could confirm or infirm my theory I’d like it

In reply to Joel. SOLVED: Check if all files in your 'firmware' folder are present. I read somewhere else that 'git clone' command did not copy the OVMF_VARS-1024x768.fd file for someone and when I checked, it was the same case for me. Although, I did find it in the backup firmware folder, which the tutorial had us make initially. Copying that into the actual firmware folder resolved it for me

In reply to Nicholas Reed. SOLVED: I generated a new XML using the "./make.sh --add" command and deleted the downloaded generic XML file they provided. This resolved it for me
