Unlimited Registion of HyperDock 1.2.1

Download HyperDock and install it.

Double click a working license and then HyperDock is registered until reboot.


Here's the magic:

1. Use terminal to change the filename HyperDock.prefpane into HyperDock (the file is in ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ or /Library/PreferencePanes/.
2. Open preference->Security->Firewall and enable it, in Advanced settings,  add an item, and navigate to ~/Library/PreferencePanes/HyperDock/Contents/Resources and select Hyper Dock Helper, and disable it from connecting to the internet.
3. Use terminal to change the filename back from HyperDock into HyperDock.prefpane.

All done, enjoy!!!
Another method might be editing hosts. Somebody may want to try it.

Optical Bay Hard Drive caddy not recgonized, system hanging/not booting

Replaced the optical drive of my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1464) with a hard drive caddy to extend the storage capacity, but the BIOS seems could not recognize it.

After some digging and checking, I noticed that the SATA port in the laptop for the optical drive is only 1st gen (150MB/s), and it does not support the SATA II type (300MB/s). So I changed the mode of the dard drive into SATA mode with copper wire (jumper settings, to change the working mode), and it works perfect.
