# Disabling unwanted services on macOS Big Sur (11), macOS Monterey (12) and macOS Ventura (13)
# Disabling SIP is required  ("csrutil disable" from Terminal in Recovery)
# Modifications are written in /private/var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/ disabled.plist, disabled.501.plist
# To revert, delete /private/var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/ disabled.plist and disabled.501.plist and reboot; sudo rm -r /private/var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd/*

@jalavoui 

your link is a dead end with 404 error

It's certainly an interesting idea.

 

Searching github and pwnsdx brought me to this github page;

 

https://gist.github.com/FahimAnayet/21ded46507df18564e7c5b926d67ad4e

 

The above broken link is from this same page.

 

Same concept as the attached file, but a lot easier to read.

carefull with the github version if you run the script it will disable a lot of things

 

choose what you need to disable first

 

i posted a version with a "exit" to avoid that

 

current list of maybe disable:

- com.apple.mediaanalysisd avoid if it breaks gpu hw decoding
