Provisioning OS X and Disabling Unnecessary Services | vilimblog.

I’m constantly looking to speed my computer up—and, I suppose, in effect slow the rest of my life down.

Be that as it may, what I’ve been doing with the latest beta of 10.11, is … pruning. What this has forced me to think through is, inter alia, how much I like the (pseudo-) social networking avenues Apple has packaged into OS X. As my play computer is also likely to be my main work device (it could be otherwise; I’m just being realistic), I don’t want to prune to the root, or core and be left with only highly functional memories of what was once there. Hence the link to this quite useful site. (More enterprising and ruthless can go further; I’d also recommend the communities at Stackexchange.)
